The Many Advantages of Using Salt

The Many Advantages of Using Salt

There are more than 14,000 ways to use salt, and some are still in use today. Before you are some of the best advice for efficient use of salt to resolve a number of different problems.  Important! If you are sensitive to salt, you must consult a doctor about the proper way of using it.   In the kitchen, more than a flavor enhancer... * Boiling eggs in salty water will make sure that even if the eggs break, their insides will not escape, and you will be able to take off the shell with ease. * To check if the egg is fresh, put it in a bowl filled with salty water. A fresh egg will sink and the less fresh will float. * Peeled apples, pears and potatoes won't blacken if you put them in cold, slightly salty, water. * Have coffee or tea marks in your cups? You can remove them with a moist sponge and some salt water. * Your glassware can go back to being shiny and transparent if you wash them with hot salt water and then with regular cold water. * Using salt, you can easily clean the bottom of a burnt pot or pan - just put a thick layer of salt in the bottom, add a little water and leave the pot to stand for the night, and in the morning - boil the water. * A combination of salt and soda will clean the fridge and remove odors. * If you add just a tiny pinch of salt to your coffee it will improve the taste and counter the bitterness. * If you add a tiny pinch of salt to milk it will stay fresh longer. Salty Medicine * There is a great Russian folk medicine: In case of food poisoning - drink vodka with salt. If you don't drink alcohol - drink a few glasses of water well salted, and then try to vomit them out. (This is NOT an alternative to medical treatment!) * In case of a cold - Drink a bit of vodka with salt. * If your blood pressure is down, quickly drinks a very salty glass of water. * A good way to increase the amount of stomach acids for digestion: 5-30 minutes after eating, put 1-2 grams of sea or cooking salt on the edge of your tongue. After the salt melts, swallow the salty saliva in your mouth. Such a small amount of salt won't harm you, but will cause an extra release of stomach acids. * Salt is a great disinfectant - If you clean wounds with salt water soaked materials, they won't become inflamed. * Granulomas of the tooth will be gone after 2 weeks of being cleaned with salt water.   * For tooth ache - Wash your mouth with salt water after every meal and before going to sleep. * With pneumonia and strong coughing, place a washcloth soaked in salt water on the back of the person, in the area of the infection. * Adenomas can be treated by holding down a cotton washcloth folded to four layers and soaked in salt water for 2 weeks time. * Salt helps treat acne and boils. Use a little salt to put on a bandage and put it on the area for an hour. You can repeat the process a few times a day. * When you have bruises, put compresses of salt and vinegar on them. They are also useful for treating headaches. * To treat varicose veins - Use a compress of salt water on the problematic vein, and on that an elastic bandage. If you do this regularly, morning and evening, the veins will slowly return to normal. * To treat foot fungus - Soak your feet for 5-10 minutes in a mixture of 2 table spoons of salt for evey 0.5 liter of hot water. You can add some ground garlic to the mix. Repeat this until fully healed. * After getting stung by a bee - Smear a bit of wet salt on the stung area, it will calm down the pain and the swelling. * If you want smooth, healthy skin - Before showering, rub your body with a salt stone. In addition to a cosmetic treatment, you will also gain a medical benefit, while ions of salt penetrate the skin and energize the body. * A salt massage also helps to treat low blood pressure, chronic digestive problems, diabetes and regular colds. That said there are also NEGATIVE side effects: Open wounds on the skin, rash or Eczema are possible.

Gorgeous views of Iguazu Falls!

Gorgeous views of Iguazu Falls!

Iguazu Falls (from the Tupi/Guarani words: "Big Water"), are the waterfalls of the Iguazu River on the border of Brazilian state Paraná and Argentine province Misiones.  Below its confluence with the San Antonio River, the Iguazu River forms the boundary between Argentina and Brazil. They are considered the most beautiful falls in the world, at a height of over 80 meters (269 feet) and a width of 2.7 km (1.7 miles). On November 11 of 2011, Iguazu Falls was announced as one of the seven winners of the New Seven Wonders of Nature by the New Seven Wonders of the World Foundation. We wholeheartedly agree with this decision; this is a place of green magic, of water, rainbows and stunning beauty.   Skip to a video of these amazing falls

A wide panorama shot of Iguazu Waterfalls.

One of the 275 waterfalls that constitute Iguazu. The name of this one is "The Superiors".

Iguazu has both a Brazilian and Argentinian sides. The waterfalls are shared by national parks on both these countries, with both parks being UNESCO world heritage sites. The Brazilian side may have a slight edge, as there is a beautiful walkway that travellers can take along the canyon.

An image of the falls from satellite.

Incredibly vivid rainbow over the waterfalls reminds us how beautiful our planet can be.

Even in black and white, the falls give a sense of awe.

The falls are surrounded by lush vegetation.

In fact, both parks - on both sides, have subtropical rain forests that are home to many varieties of rare animal and plant life.

Devil's throat is the tallest fall, 80 meter in height.

The Brazilian walkway.

The mist from the huge waterfall that is devil's throat rises to an astounding height of 30 meter (98 feet) and to a distance of 150 meters (492 feet) from the waterfall. So if you don't like getting wet - Get binoculars.

Great aerial shot of the falls and the rainforest surrounding them.

Wikipedia added this piece of info: "The first proposal for a Brazilian national park aimed at providing a pristine environment to ‘future generations,’ just as ‘it had been created by God’ and endowed with ‘all possible preservation, from the beautiful to the sublime, from the picturesque to the awesome’ and ‘an unmatched flora’ located in the ‘magnificent Iguazu waterfalls."

Victoria falls are the only falls larger the Iguazu, but they are not as wide. They split into about 275 falls and islands.

On the Brazilian side again, the walkway allows for a really close and a 260 degree field of vision taking in the surrounding area of devil's throat.

The falls in furious motion.

The devil's throat is 82 meters in height, 150 meters wide and 700 meters long, all in the shape of a gigantic U, which may explain its name.

No matter what you wear - you WILL get wet standing near these falls, so put your valuables in a water-tight bag and embrace being wet.

The mists of Igusazu Falls.

Another magnificent rainbow over the falls. Waterfalls often have rainbows due to the mist and breaking of the water droplets in the sun.

A beautiful area surrounding the falls.

Many claim Iguazu falls are truly the most beautiful falls on earth. Some would argue that point, but we can definitely say this is one of the most special and beautiful places on our green Earth.
