Can salt water help the human body

[RATTER15]

Only in as much that it is a good cleanser, ideal if you have an injury or suffer a skin complaint, but salt in the bath is better than in the sea as there is a lot of things in the sea that you wouldn't want in a wound.

And despite whats been said over the years, table salt is as good for you as any of these other salts you can buy from health food shops etc.
