Does This Sound Accurate To You?!


Question: Does This Sound Accurate To You.?
I know that a person's skin is their largest organ and that medicine such as the nicotine patch, and morphine patches are absorbed through the skin. With that in mind, here's the question
If a person has a condition that restricts their sodium intake, such as high blood pressure or edema could the sodium that is used in water softener systems enter the body in amounts that would contribute to their condition.?
Wow, that was a long sentence. Gasp!
Thank you for replying.Health Question & Answer


Answers:
I can tell you with certainty that the amount of sodium that absorbs through your skin from showering with a water softener is negligible. It comes out to about 300mg of sodium a year on average, so it's like drinking 5 or 6 sodas a year.

Good question.Health Question & Answer

That would be only if they spend a lot of time immersed in water. Shower would not do it. There are a lot of things get through the skin, it is a distinction though if passing through the skin the substance would pass through the blood barrier.? That is where the therapeutic effect is comes to live, the substance that is enters into the skin has to pass through the blood barrier, to be effective in altering the body chemistry.Health Question & Answer
