An ancient treasure turned suspect

For millennia, salt was so valuable that Roman soldiers were paid with it—which is also the origin of the word salary. The salt roads crisscrossed entire continents. In Ethiopia, salt bars served as currency for over a thousand years. Wars were fought to control it, and empires were financed through its taxes. Ancient peoples were not mistaken: they recognized in this crystal an essential food for vitality.

Hippocrates himself, the father of medicine, recommended salt to cure infections and clear the airways. The physician Paracelsus wrote: «Humans must have salt. Where there is no salt, everything tends to decompose.".
