“Is it safe to gargle with salt water every day?”
I am a 21 year old female. I want to know if it is safe to gargle with salt water every day?

Salt is a good antibacterial and virus inhibitor. Yes it's generally safe to gargle daily with salt water. So long as you aren't swallowing a lot of it and not on a salt restricted diet. I recommend a teaspoon of salt or baking soda in 6 to 8 ounces of water.
Hello,
Do you feel a need to gargle with salt water every day? If you do perhaps you have something going on that needs to be looked at by a professional. Anyway, as long as the concentration is correct and you have no other illnesses you should be fine.
Best of luck to you!
