Salt for making a salt solution yourself

Saline water is one of the best natural remedies that you can use to take care of piercings if you have problems with them. However, it's necessary that it doesn't contain too much dirt or bacteria, because we don't want the cure to be worse than the disease. Avoid cooking salt, because they often bleach or they add iodine or sea salt. This salt hardly has any iodine, so it's perfect for a homemade isotonic saline solution. You can buy sea salt in herbalists' shops or in our online store in small quantities, 0.7 ounces (20 grams), which will be enough to prepare 4 liters of solution.

Preparation is easy:

1. Add 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 gr) of salt for every 1 cup (2.5 dl) of clean water.

2. Boil the water and make sure the salt is dissolved.

3. Optional: add two drops of jojoba oil to the solution.

4. Let it cool.

After this, you can use the solution and dip your jewelry for about 5 minutes. Repeat this process mornings and evenings, and you will stop having problems with your piercing.

You can prepare a certain amount to use it a few times, but you will have to keep it cold and sterilized. That's why you will have to put a little in another container so that most of it doesn't get dirty or infected.

If you don't want to prepare this solution, you can buy Isotonic saline water ready to use in a spray in our online store.
