Salty Lips
I couldn’t come up with a pithy lip quip so I’ll just get to the point — dry lips, chapped lips, cracked lips.
What to do about them? Most people resort to some sort of lip balm but I saw an interesting study on soldiers participating in desert training. They found that “lip protectants appeared to be relatively ineffective in the prevention and treatment of chapped lips” (Shulman et al. 1997).
What does homeopathy have to offer for lips? A little salt, actually.
Salt? Yup, Natrum muriaticum is made from common salt and it is excellent for helping to balance fluids in the body, including ailments from said imbalances.
