The abdomen is where fat accumulates most easily and is also the most difficult to reduce. However, according to folk experience and some physiotherapic studies, using roasted salt as a heating compress combined with massage can help burn belly fat, promote blood circulation and tone the skin.
Sea salt contains many minerals such as sodium, potassium, calcium... which can retain heat for a long time. When roasted hot and compressed over the abdomen, the salt will create heat that directly affects the subcutaneous fat layer, stimulates blood circulation, softens fat tissue and supports the excretion of toxins through sweat.
