Here's what to do: In a small bowl, mix 3.5 tablespoons of unrefined salt with 1 tablespoon of cold-pressed oil (organic is best) and a quarter teaspoon of 100 percent pure lavender oil. Stir the mixture until smooth. Lie down on a large beach towel and rub your whole body with this mixture. (You can relax even more deeply if somebody else does this for you.) Wrap yourself in the towel, then cover yourself with a blanket. Keep the peeling on your skin for about half an hour. You'll experience a warm flow throughout your body, which tells you that the body cells are doing their work. Rinse off the peeling with warm water and gently pat your skin dry. Don't rub it dry. The oil will remain on your skin and make it soft and velvety.

(Concept: water)
Open wound injuries can be treated effectively with a solution of half an ounce (15 grams) of unrefined salt diluted in half a cup of water. Unrefined salt is a natural anti-bacterial agent, and it's not necessary to use a more concentrated solution than this (if you use a higher ratio of salt to water the injury may give you an unpleasant burning feeling). Use only high quality, non-carbonated spring water to treat open wounds. Take sterile gauze, soak it in the sole solution, rinse it and apply it to the wound. Then wrap a dry cloth around it.
A Brine Shirt for Detox and Flu or Fever Relief
Dip a clean cotton shirt in a 3 percent sole solution – 2 tablespoons of crystal salt diluted in 1 quart of water. Rinse the shirt thoroughly and put it on. Wrap yourself in a dry towel and lay in bed, covered with a blanket. After about half an hour you'll start sweating (you can support the effect by drinking a cup of Linden blossom tea). Stay in bed for an hour to an hour and a half. Then take off your shirt, shower and treat yourself to an hour's rest.
This "Brine Shirt" is an excellent detox and stimulates the metabolism; it's very helpful if you're suffering from flu with a high temperature, and it is usually better than a brine bath.
Brine-Soaked Socks
This has a similar effect as the Brine Shirt, but is especially helpful if you're suffering from cold feet or gout. Soak a pair of clean cotton socks in a 3 to 5 percent sole solution (2 to 4 tablespoons of unrefined salt diluted in a quart of water). Wring the socks thoroughly and put them on, then wrap your feet in a dry towel. Leave them on for about an hour, and then treat yourself to an hour's rest.
Dental Hygiene
Healthy teeth and gums are not only visually attractive but are also most important for our overall health. Unrefined salt is very valuable for dental hygiene. Most dental problems derive from an over-acidic condition in the mouth and throat. Unrefined salt creates pH-neutral (pH-balanced) mouth flora and helps protect your tooth enamel. Brush your teeth every morning with concentrated sole. Press the sole through your teeth with the help of your tongue. Gargle with sole for about three minutes, and then spit it out again.
PsoriasisPsoriasis is usually inherited and appears mostly in adulthood. However, the disease does not have to be lifelong. An alkaline, vegetarian diet is the basis of every effective treatment: Fresh vegetables (but not brussel sprouts or artichokes), salads, fresh fruits, cold pressed virgin olive oil, freshly squeezed fruit and vegetable juices, non-carbonated water and herb teas.
Added to this, salt therapy can work wonders. Many patients have reported that swimming or floating in the Dead Sea, which contains the highest natural salt concentration in the world, relieves symptoms magically – although symptoms are likely to return without home treatment as well.
Treating Psoriasis at Home
Every morning, on an empty stomach, drink a glass of water with 1 teaspoon of concentrated sole. Drink 2 to 3 quarts of spring water during the day. Take an unrefined salt bath twice a week for 10 to 20 minutes. Start with a 3 percent sole solution concentration (6 pounds of unrefined salt diluted in a full bath of water). Gradually increase the concentration up to 8 percent for subsequent baths. The sole bath will not only moisturize your skin but also help stop inflammation. A highly concentrated sole bath is detoxifying and becomes more so the hotter it is: Use a temperature that feels comfortable for you, but no more than body temperature (98.4 degrees Fahrenheit). This works even better if you can let the sun dry you off naturally (five to 10 minutes is sufficient if you're lucky enough to live in sunny climates). Parts of the body that may be more infected than others, such as elbows and knees, can be massaged with concentrated sole solution.
Herpes
Herpes sores can be painful, annoying and persistent. The herpes virus is always present in our systems, but if we're healthy it's naturally held in check. However, if our immune system becomes weakened, the virus can multiply at an explosive rate and herpes blisters develop. If they appear, try using sole. Sole always strengthens your immune system.
