It sounds like an old wives’ tale, right? Just sprinkle salt in the corners of your house and… wait for the magic? But thousands of people online swear by it — and now even skeptics are getting curious.
It started trending on TikTok last fall when a woman in Florida claimed she put coarse sea salt in each corner of her home to “absorb dark energy.” Within 48 hours, she said her chronic migraines disappeared, her dog stopped barking at walls, and, oddly enough, her ex texted her to apologize.
Since then, the “salt corner ritual” has exploded. Some say it clears bad vibes. Others say it attracts money. One man even claimed he found $500 in his mailbox the day after doing it.
Why Salt?Salt has been used for centuries in spiritual and folk traditions. Ancient cultures believed it purified spaces, warded off evil, and restored balance. Whether you believe in energy or not, salt does have one proven power: it absorbs moisture — and maybe, just maybe, other things, too.
How to Do ItUse coarse sea salt or Himalayan pink salt
Place a tablespoon in every corner of your house
Leave it for 48 hours
Sweep it up and throw it outside
Repeat every new moon — or whenever your house feels… off.
Real or Not?Look, we’re not saying this is science. But we are saying millions have tried it and swear something changed. Sometimes, energy is more real than we think.
Wanna try it tonight? Just don’t be surprised if the lights flicker.
