Salt Therapy for colds & flu

Salt therapy is pretty simple.
I use really potent mineral salts like Himalayan Salt crystals or Celtic Sea Salt (which is highest in trace elements), but you can easily use plain rock salt. Do not use plain table salt as it does not contain the valuable amounts of trace elements (that's why you see some table salt with 'added iodine'). Read this article here, for more information on why natural salts are far superior and safer than 'man made' salts.

Depending on your tastes, you can simply put two crystals under your tongue every 4 or so hours during the day and let them dissolve, or wash them straight down with water.

While doing salt therapy its best to stick to water and not juices (like orange or apple) as the body will appreciate more water than sugar. Do however, eat fresh whole fruit here and there as they will do you good, especially if you can get the lower sugar fruits like Blueberries, fresh Figs, Paw Paw (papaya) or similar.

Salt breaks up mucus in the body, water assimilates the trace elements to your cells. The results are that you move through the 'holding pattern' reaction of mucus buildup, fevers, sweating etc... and forward towards an immune system that is chucking off the virus causing the reaction in the first place.
NB: you will pee a lot ;)

This sort of therapy is going to remove toxins from your body, so roll with it, keep up the water intake (at least a half litre per hour or more if you can manage it during the day) and have a few quick warm showers throughout the day. This will help you feel energised, and it can alleviate any skin irritations that may arise from the toxin release.
