This is a reasonable debate angle for the evolution of man, and all land animals, from the sea.choo wrote:just a note... more salt doesnt mean better healing
1/4 teaspoon of seasalt to 1cup boiling water is best (obviously wait for the water to cool)
the reason it works so well is because its close to the bodys natural PH (ie: sweat / tears).
Tears, and the very fluid we float in while developing in the womb are roughly the same salinity as sea water.
And since we all know that any scratch heals really fast when soaked in sea water, there's no reason to not think using a salt water solution to heal anything would be a bad idea.
When I had my wisdom teeth removed I had to rinse the sockets out with salt water.
It's all evolution man.....
