Many people who were closely associated with their grandmothers and spent a sufficient amount of time with them know about their strange habits.

However, sometimes it is necessary to take a closer look at the actions of the older generation, since many of them are quite useful.

Why do grandmothers scatter salt on the threshold?

It is important to remember that this product has a very good "reputation" among people who believe in omens and mysticism. Salt is credited with extremely amazing properties.

It is believed that the product will not allow negative energy to enter the house. Moreover, salt acts as a protector against unpleasant personalities who only pretend to be your friends and good acquaintances.

However, if you notice salt near your apartment, then this is a bad sign: most likely, someone wishes you harm.

However, this is not the only argument in favor of this habit.

If various insects from the street get into your house, salt will not let them do this. The method is especially effective against ants and fleas.
