Cleansing salts

Salt is healing for the mind, body, and spirit. Throughout history, salt has been a major component in religious and spiritual rituals, primarily for its cleansing and protective qualities. But salt is also celebrated because of its restorative and resilient properties too. What does salt signify spiritually?

It may be a symbolic reference to the possibility of abandoning or deviating from the gospel, especially due to the adulteration of its teachings. Another interpretation is that in a world filled with sin and deceit, it is possible for one to become contaminated and thus unsuccessful at being an effective disciple.
