Can salt water reduce inflammation?

We all know that when people are sick and go for an IV, doctors will generally give them normal saline solution. The so-called normal saline solution, its main component is saline. Dissolving it together with drugs for treating diseases can not only dilute the drugs, but also have an anti-inflammatory effect. Some people think that since normal saline solution can reduce inflammation, can you also reduce inflammation by making some salt water yourself?

Salt water can reduce inflammation.

Table salt itself does not have the effect of killing viruses and reducing inflammation, but when it combines with water and dissolves in water, it changes the water concentration, which can cause cells to dehydrate and die or inhibit their growth to a certain extent, thereby achieving the purpose of reducing inflammation. In addition, the fluoride contained in table salt itself has a certain anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effect. Therefore, salt water has a certain anti-inflammatory effect, but it cannot replace regular anti-inflammatory and bactericidal drugs.

In addition to reducing inflammation and killing bacteria, salt water has many other benefits. For example:

Washing your hair with salt water can remove dandruff.

It can also prevent hair loss.

It can induce vomiting, suppress cough, treat burns and scalds, and prevent hoarseness of the throat.

Brushing your teeth with salt water can also help keep your teeth strong and white.

But if it is an external injury, you must have great willpower, otherwise you will not be able to bear it and it will be very painful. Salt is also effective for the “stubborn disease” of acne. After taking a bath, let your body warm up fully. After the pores open, apply more salt on the acne-affected areas and massage for 1 minute. Don't use too much force, just move the salt on the skin. Then use light salt water, soak and apply for 10 minutes, and wash with clean water. Wash it a few times and see that the acne is slowly being conquered.
