What type of salt should I use for therapeutic baths?

To carry out salt baths in fresh water, you must use a salt that is non-iodized, non-fluorinated, and without anti-caking agent. We recommend the following salts:

• Salt lick for horses and ruminants: a 5, 12 or 25 kg block of SODI SEL’PUR pure sodium chloride, available from agricultural cooperatives.
• Salt tablets for domestic softeners, generally in 10 or 25 kg bags. These tablets must contain at least 99.9% sodium chloride and comply with the following standards: EN 973 (quality A), EN 14805 (type 1 dry salt), STAN 150-1985 of the Codex Alimentarius.
• Guérande salt.
• Coarse food salt (check carefully that it does not contain sodium or potassium iodide, or any other adjuvant).

Salt in blocks and pellets can be placed directly in the pool. For powdered salt, it must first be dissolved in water (to avoid forming a carpet of salt which risks burning the fish on the bottom).
