The Benefits of Using Salt

Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (peace be upon him) said:
فِي الْمِلْحِ شِفاءٌ مِنْ سَبْعينَ داء، ثُمَّ قالَ: لَوْ يَعْلَمُ النّاسُ ما فِي الْمِلْحِ ما تَداوَوا إلاّ بِهِ
“Salt is a cure for seventy diseases. If people knew what is in salt, they would not use anything else for treatment.”
