did you know this about salt?

it's a natural antihistamine!

I read about this home remedy in an article months ago, and since I rarely get sick, I had to wait a long time to test it out. I am happy to report that it works like a charm!

To clear nasal congestion: put a pinch of salt on your tongue and chase it down with an entire glass of water. Within seconds, I went from not being able to breathe at all through my nose to a completely clear airway. I literally felt the inflammation melt away! It was amazing. I had heard about flushing the sinuses with salt water in a neti pot before, but that sounded too uncomfy to me, so I never tried it. This is so easy and benign, and it beats the stuffing (hee hee hee) out of any other thing I have ever tried; it's virtually free, readily available, and has no side effects!

so there's your tip from auntie karen today ...
