	Using marine salt as a curative salt?
Curare Enthusiast Posts: 196 Kudos: 130 Votes: 0 Registered: 23-Jun-2004	hey guys I'm just curious, would it be wise to use marine salt for salt baths? It's just that I have a lot of it, and well, I don't want to buy something I already have. Any ideas ladies and gentlemen?
