Salt, it seems like it’s the answer to everything.

– Sore Throat? Salt Water
– Icy Roads? Rock Salt
– Food Bland? Table Salt
– Dehydrated? Gatorade
– Tough Stains? Salt
– Chill Beverages Faster? Salt Water
– Spirits? Shot Gun (Salt Rounds)

There’s probably more uses.

In the body, it comes from the fact life originated in the sea, and our body fluids are like portable portions of salt water. Squirt saline solution in your eyes, up your nose, up your butt it doesn’t hurt at all while perfectly clear water will.

If you really want an ELI5:
Water is the answer to everything. Salt removes water and dissolves in water, so it’s the answer to a lot of things too.
