Why do experienced housewives store salt on the windowsill and what are its benefits?

It is enough to place salt barrels on window sills in different rooms. You will quickly notice that the humidity decreases. This is due to the ability of salt crystals to absorb moisture.
Too high humidity in the home can lead to unpleasant odors and even the development of mold, which has a negative impact on health. Salt fights this problem effectively.

Additionally, to give the room a pleasant aroma, you can add essential oil or cinnamon powder to the salt.

You will see how after such events the air in the room becomes drier and the atmosphere inside changes for the better.
