How did hunter-gatherers get enough salt in their diet?

Did they just find salt on the ground and lick it? Did they drink animal blood? Did they drink ocean water (I hope not)?

I’ve always wondered this since I was a little kid.

Mountain goats are crazy at climbing because they like licking mineral deposits on sheer cliff edges. I would say humans used their intelligence to help out (probably figured out boiling sea water for salt, as well as which rock tastes good)
