        c) Be sure to wash off all the salt at end of treatment

    2) Preparation for treatment
        a) Moisten salt just enough to stick to the skin
        b) Assemble everything needed for the treatment
    3) Treatment
        a) Explain treatment to patient
        b) Pray
        c) Patient can either stand or sit
        d) Wet area with water
        e) Apply wet salt and rub on the skin until it is pink
        f) To complete treatment, rinse thoroughly to remove cells
        g) Dry the patient off and make sure they are warm
