haking up the Salt Myth: The History of Salt

 

 

[1]  The development of human civilization is

intricately linked to the pursuit of salt: wild 

animals wore paths to salt licks, men followed 

these animals and built settlements near the 

[5]  salt deposits. These settlements became 

cities and nations. The human obsession with 

salt has spanned thousands of years of human 

history, across many different contexts and 

continents. Nearly every society in existence 

[10]  has some level of salt use not only in their 

cuisine, but also in their medicine, their 

politics, their economies, and even their 

religious practices.

As civilization and agriculture spread, salt 

[15]  became one of the first international 

commodities of trade, its production was one 

of the first industries, and a number of the 

greatest public works were motivated by the 

need to obtain salt. Salt trade routes 

[20] traversed the globe, between Africa, Asia, the 

Middle East, and Europe. Salt was often used 

as money, and was desperately coveted, 

hoarded, searched for, traded for, and even 

fought over.

[25]  Salt has even made its way into our language 

as a metaphor for value: hardworking people 

are known to be “worth their salt”, and the 

most worthy amongst us are known as “the 

salt of the earth”. The root word “sal-” is of 

[30]  Latin origin and refers to salt. Words that have 

been historically based on humanity’s high 

value for salt include “salubrious”, which

means “health-giving”, and “salary”, which is 

derived from the Latin salarium, the money 

[35]  allotted to Roman soldiers for purchases of 

salt. 

“Salus” is the Roman goddess of health and 

prosperity. Even the word “salad” originated 

from the Italian salata, as the Romans often 

[40]  ate dishes of assorted raw vegetables with a 

brined dressing, hence the name which is 

short for herba salata or “salted vegetables”. 

Nearly four pages of the Oxford English 

Dictionary are taken up by references to salt, 

[45]  more than any other food. (12) Clearly, the high 

value placed on salt in many cultures around 

the world has greatly contributed to the 

developmental course of human history.

Salt Uses & Tips

 

Beside making food delicious, it's believed

there are more than 14,000 uses for salt, and

our grandmothers were probably familiar with

most of them. A number of these uses were

for simple things around the home before the

advent of modern chemicals and cleaners.

Many of these salt uses are still valid today

and can be much cheaper and more environmentally-

friendly than more sophisticated

products. We make no guarantee about the

results if you try any of these uses and tips,

but there must be something to them since

they have been handed down over the years in

many households. Most of these salt uses

 

have stood the test of time.

Salt Uses&Tips: Health&Beauty

Gargling - Stir 1/2 teaspoon salt in an 8-

ounce glass of warm water for use as a gargle

for sore throats.

Cleaning teeth - Mix one part salt to two

parts baking soda after pulverizing the salt in

a blender or rolling it on a kitchen board with a

tumbler before mixing. It whitens teeth, helps

remove plaque and it is healthy for the gums.

Washingmouth - Mix equal parts of salt and

baking soda as a mouth wash that sweetens

the breath.

Reducing eye puffiness - Mix one teaspoon

of salt in a pint of hot water and apply pads

soaked in the solution on the puffy areas.

Relieving tired feet - Soak aching feet in

warm water to which a handful of salt has

been added. Rinse in cool water.

Relieving bee stings - If stung, immediately

wet the spot and cover with salt to relieve the

pain.

Relieving fatigue - Soak relaxed for at least

ten minutes in a tub of water into which

several handfuls of salt has been placed.

Removing dry skin - After bathing and while

still wet give yourself a massage with dry salt.

It removes dead skin particles and aids the

circulation.

Applying facial - For a stimulating facial,mix

equal parts of salt and olive oil and gently

massage the face and throat with long upward

and inward strokes. Remove mixture after five

minutes and wash face.
