In reply to salt cravings..., posted by Meri-Tuuli on June 6, 2006, at 6:09:03
Drink nettle tea, that'll work as a diuretic. You can make icetea of it. A friend of mine had nettle & blueberrie. Made it very strong, and threw some sweetner in to take the edge of. Drank it cooled as ice-tea.
I have always wondered where my salt-cravings come from... I've had them all my life. It comes and goes, without any clear reason, and at any time of year. Last time was in january, so it wasn't because of the high temperatures! It comes to a point where I just lick salt straight from my hand!
It seems to run in my family. My mother had it, my grandfather had it, 1 uncle has it. BUT, my father didn't, my grandmother didn't, my other uncle doesn't, and my brother doesn't. So there must be a gene...
