- Leave the paste on for 10-15 minutes.
- Rinse with warm water.
- Repeat the topical application 2-3 times daily if tolerated.
Notes
Use food-grade Himalayan pink salt rather than table salt. Test on a small skin area first, especially if using cayenne pepper or essential oils. Keep water warm but not too hot, and stop use if irritation occurs.
