The caked salt, which has already turned into a “brick”, can be easily put in order.
We take a couple of spacious and dense plastic bags, preferably without holes.
We introduce a pack of compressed table salt into the bags.
We tie the bags with a reliable knot, you can sea))
Salt, packed in polyethylene, lowered to the floor.
We sit down on our haunches or on a comfortable low bench.
We take an ordinary hammer (you can use a hammer for beating meat) in your right hand.
With a hammer, we begin to break a lump of salt with small but sharp blows.
Salt will very easily and quickly take its former form, it will crumble.
But salt will not be scattered on the floor, it will remain within the pack, in extreme cases - the bag. This occupation is within the power of any weak woman))
Any salt is best stored in a glass jar with a tight lid so that fluctuations in air humidity do not affect it in any way. Pour the salt bought in the store into a prepared dry container, preferably immediately, and not keep it for a long time in a carton))

How to break up caked salt?
This is how I do it in this case. I take an ordinary metal grater, on the side where the middle cells are, I substitute a container and rub a lump of salt on a grater, in five minutes - even the largest lump is gone. And everything is neat and clean. Here is a method of dealing not only with salt, but also with sugar lumps. Convenient, fast and easy.

Salt turns to stone due to the fact that moisture gets into it.
To prevent this from happening with salt, you need to store the salt so that moisture does not get into it. The easiest way - as soon as you brought a pack of salt home from the store, put it in a plastic bag and tie the bag.
In addition, you do not need to get salt for culinary purposes from the pack, pour a little into the salt shaker.
The most popular advice on the Internet about resuscitating hardened salt is to add rice grains to hardened salt. The rice will absorb all the moisture and the salt will soften. The second most popular answer is to throw away the fossilized salt and buy a new one (apparently it will also have to be thrown away if the salt is not properly stored).
There is also advice to soften the salt by placing it for a short time in the microwave oven, which is put on the heating mode. I haven't done it so I can't recommend it. But you can try.
★★★★★★★★★★
The second life of salt)
Ice pick and blender. Or, if you chop smaller - a coffee grinder. You can also grind it in a meat grinder, especially if you have an electric one. But still the blender is simpler and faster. Instead of an ice pick, you can use any blunt heavy object. The handle of a rolling pin or pusher. In the same way, dried instant coffee can be crushed, but it has been noticed that coffee, unlike salt, changes its taste.

Salt has the ability to attract moisture to itself and therefore turns to stone.
Proper packaging helps to ensure that steam during cooking and storage in the kitchen does not get into bags or jars where you store it. It can be a coffee can, there are very nice ones and they all have a screw cap, you just need to choose jars with a wide mouth - so that you can get salt with any spoon and not spill it ...
And you can break the salt with a hammer in plastic bags, so that the salt does not scatter throughout the kitchen, but the hammer must be wide or you can knock through the board so that the blows are not pointy and the bags are not torn ... Good luck!
The statement that salt is only an absolute evil and should be completely abandoned is a myth! Of course, excess salt intake is not only harmful, but also dangerous for humans!
After all, salt retains moisture in the body and thereby increases pressure and increases the load on the cardiovascular system and kidneys.
However, a person cannot be completely without salt, if only because salt itself is involved in maintaining the water balance in the body, and also participates in the formation of hydrochloric acid (the main component of gastric juice)! Let's say more with a catastrophic lack of salt, a person can die. It is believed that the daily salt intake for a person is 10 grams.
In addition, salt significantly increases the palatability of food, which will be most valuable in terms of survival in an extreme situation or a long hike. In addition, salt is an excellent preservative! Raw meat without a refrigerator can be stored from several hours to 2-3 days, depending on the time of year (in a cold winter - longer), while corned beef is stored for years. Where can you get salt if you don't have it with you? Let's talk about ways to extract it:
Ash salt.
To extract salt from the ashes, we need the ash itself, but not any, but from deciduous trees (hazel is good). Dry wood should be selected and built from it, which should burn until the coals burn out completely so that as much ash as possible is formed. After that, the ashes should be collected in some vessel, pour boiled (warm) water and mix well. Then you need to let the contents settle. The ash should be infused for quite a long time: at least three to four hours, and preferably more. After the passage of time, the water from the vessel can be tasted, it will be salty! It can already be added to food, but for greater concentration it is better to evaporate excess water by placing a vessel over a fire and stirring the contents. This method of salt extraction is the most affordable, but it requires a lot of time and the presence of hardwood.
Salt from the earth.
For the following method, you will need a certain type of soil containing easily soluble salts, namely: saline. You can meet the salt marsh in the meadow, in the steppe, semi-desert, in the forest and other places. In Russia, this type of soil is most often found in the steppe territories of the Crimea and in the territories of the Caspian lowland. This type of soil actively prevents the growth of plants, and in the few vegetation that manages to grow on the salt marsh, the roots are often covered with a white salt coating, sometimes the soil itself is covered with it.
If you manage to find a salt marsh, dig a well. Sometimes groundwater (depending on the type of salt marsh) lies quite high, and you can get to them by digging literally 1-2 meters. The water in such a well will be salty, and if it is evaporated, then salt will remain at the bottom of your vessel, which can be scraped off and used for food.
Solonchak in the Omsk region.
However, it is possible to do without digging a well. It is enough to collect salty soil from the salt marsh, filling half of the vessel with it, fill the remaining half with water, and mix properly. Drain the water into another vessel, and fill the first with a new portion of the earth, and then add the same water. You can change the earth until the water acquires a salty taste. Then it must be filtered and evaporated to form salt.
Salt from the sea.
Everything is simple here: we evaporate salt from sea water.
We hope that the methods described above were of interest to you and now in survival conditions or on a camping trip, forgetting the salt at home, you can get it.

How to move away from salt? "Bath salts" are analogues of well-known amphetamine-type psychostimulants developed in the last century for military and tactical tasks. However, such substances have a “targeted” effect, and their creators set themselves the goal of increasing the combat capability of a soldier, and not bringing him to the grave as quickly as possible. Therefore, even in the event of a drug addict can live for more than 10 years, during which he either refuses doping or dies as a result of heart failure or critical exhaustion of the body. With salt, things are much worse.
What is dangerous salt and signs of its effects
The use of salts in comparison with at times increases the concentration of adrenaline and dopamine in the circulatory system, which for a while causes an actually uncontrolled influx of strength, energy and euphoria.
The problem is that after a very short period, paranoid thoughts take over the addict, and in order to get rid of them, he is forced to return to the use of salt again and again. New drugs, which are called "designer", according to many experts, are even more dangerous than heroin and desomorphine ("Crocodile").
The basis of the salts is mdpv and other substances of the pyrovalerone series, which can be sniffed, smoked, injected and injected intravenously. Among the active users of such drugs are mostly young people, starting from school age, who do not want to realize the seriousness of the consequences of a fashionable buzz. For a person under the influence of salt, the following symptoms are characteristic:
- bruxism (manifested in the form of convulsive movements of the lower jaw);
- increased anxiety, persecution mania;
- feeling extremely thirsty due to dehydration;
- confused incoherent speech with an abundance of defects and stuttering;
- lack of appetite and need for rest, insomnia.
A drug addict is often obsessed with various crazy ideas, ranging from thinking over a plan to take over the world, and ending with many hours of disassembling pieces of equipment and furniture in order to search for microphones, cameras and other hidden wiretapping tools. Salt users rapidly lose weight, have suicidal thoughts, and experience a sharp decline in their ability to think and critically evaluate what is happening.
An overdose of stimulants is fraught with the development of acute psychosis and a malfunction in the functioning of vital body systems. The main part of the load falls on the heart and blood vessels, but the liver, kidneys and brain, which is experiencing a critical lack of oxygen, also suffer. The number of contractions of the heart muscle in case of an overdose can exceed 150 beats per minute, and the body temperature rises significantly, which provokes a serious violation of thermoregulation, which can lead to various unfortunate consequences, including death.
What methods are not effective in getting rid of salt addiction
Since the effect of a stimulant such as salt is much greater than that of cocaine or amphetamines, a person after quitting the drug loses the opportunity to experience the joy of such familiar things as meeting with a group of friends, going to the cinema or pursuing a favorite hobby. At the same time, most of the negative symptoms, such as high anxiety, paranoid mood, forgetfulness, confusion and difficulty in concentrating, can haunt an addict for up to a year or even longer from the moment of giving up addiction. You should not try to solve the salt addiction problem in the following ways:
- switching to alcohol and other drugs;
- leaving "with head" in study, work or favorite pastime;
- conspiracies and seeking help from various "healers" and organizations of a religious persuasion.
Parents who take a promise from their child to refuse salts are not too
realize the full scale of the tragedy. A person who has become addicted to such drugs is not aware of his actions, and all his actions are reduced to an attempt to get hold of a new portion of the buzz.
How to get rid of addiction
Of course, in most cases, the best solution to such a problem would be to go to a rehabilitation center, where the patient will fall into the hands of qualified doctors, psychotherapists and specialists. As practice shows, hospitalization in the local department of the narcological hospital can drag on for several days or even weeks due to the lack of vacant places and the need to go through a number of formalities associated with an examination by a neurologist, a therapist and red tape with documents.
Many doctors do not want to admit the seriousness of such an addiction, and limit themselves to detoxifying the patient's body, letting him go home after that. Unfortunately, cleaning is not able to rid the addict of the thought of another dose. Therefore, it can be assumed with a high degree of probability that in the very near future he will return to salt. According to many years of observations by doctors, in the case of the systematic use of MDPV and its derivatives, irreversible mental disorders occur. Today, psychiatric wards are literally overflowing with salt addicts diagnosed with schizophrenic personality disorder.
How to get rid of salt at home
The following methods are applicable at home and are quite effective. However, they are more suitable for giving the addict the opportunity to take the first step outside the vicious circle in which he managed to find himself.
- . For its implementation, it is not necessary to place the patient in a hospital setting. It is enough to call an experienced narcologist to the house. The doctor will make every effort to contribute to the recovery of the addict, exhausted by the lack of sleep, food and fluid. It is impossible to achieve complete detoxification after prolonged use of salts, but it is quite possible to remove some of the dangerous decay products.
- Isolation of the addict from his social circle. Once in the familiar atmosphere, most addicts return to salt. That is why the patient needs to provide the most comfortable environment in which his mental state can come to a relatively stable state.
- If the patient is experiencing an acute mental disorder and is in an extremely agitated state, he can be given a sedative such as valerian, motherwort tincture, or a few drops of Corvalol.
It is important to ensure that during the refusal of salts, the addict receives all the necessary vitamins and minerals. Especially his body needs ascorbic acid, which he must receive from multivitamin complex supplements or in the form of rosehip broth or warm green tea with honey and lemon. Since, as a result of prolonged use of salts, bile stagnation occurs in the gallbladder and liver, the patient is given Allahol and other drugs to maintain the normal functioning of the liver.
A good sedative effect with a minimum number of side effects is different: peppermint, thyme, lemon balm and a number of other medicinal plants and herbs. If the addict experiences severe pain in the chest (a common consequence of the use of mdpv), then you can give him a dose of Ketanov, Tempalgin, or a similar anesthetic. However, the use of any pills creates an unnecessary burden on a weakened body, is fraught with irritation of the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract and has a depressing effect on the process of hematopoiesis.
In case of incessant vomiting and dizziness, Aerovit will help to alleviate the condition. It is necessary to force the patient to regularly eat food (preferably fresh fruits and vegetables), not paying attention to the missing appetite. Throughout the period of withdrawal, it is important to saturate the diet with easily digestible glucose, which is necessary for full-fledged brain activity. Do not forget about salt (which refers to sodium chloride), which prevents dehydration. On the day, the addict is obliged to drink as much liquid as possible (at least three liters per day).
