Alum
I recently re-discovered the healing (and) other properties of an alum stone and wanted to share.
Specifically useful against skin irritation after shaving, against the itching of insect bites or the better healing of little wounds.

Adding salt to meals at the table is linked to an earlier death, according to a study of 500,000 middle-aged Britons.
Researchers found that always adding salt to food knocks more than two years off life expectancy for men and one-and-a-half years for women. This does not include seasoning during the cooking process.

I did this decades ago. I avoid salt/sodium as best I can.
"If salt was switched for salt substitute worldwide, there would be several million premature deaths prevented every year."
What is Caribbean Architecture?
How do aesthetics act as material evidence of history? What does an architecture of leisure look like outside of the western canon? How has colonialism reinforced the idea that ornamentation and function are opposing forces?

The Salt Desert of Uyuni
Located in western Bolivia are the famous salt flats, the Salar de Uyuni. These expansive flats have become quite a tourist destination over the years, both for their uniqueness and their beauty. You can't find any other place in the world that is quite like the Salar de Uyuni.
It is the world's largest salt flats, measuring in at more than 4,085 square miles. The area was not always made of salt, however. 40,000 years ago, there was a huge inland sea called Lake Minchin. As time wore on, the lake began to dry up. When it did, two lakes were left behind –Uru Uru Lake and Poopo Lake. In addition, there were two salt flats, the Salar de Coipasa and the much larger and far more famous Uyuni.
