Sodium Chloride. A combination of a reactive soft metal and a deadly green gas that turns into stable grains of salt. Whether it comes from the earth or the sea, it is already the solution to many of life's problems. It is a necessary nutrient to prevent electrolyte deficiency and dehydration, especially in hot climates. Its ability to absorb water makes it lethal or repellent to many pests. It can preserve or pickle food, protecting it from time and decay. And, of course, it enhances flavor to turn bland meals delicious. Because it is so useful, it can be valuable: while the common misconception that it was worth its weight in gold is a gross exaggerration, before the Industrial Revolution, buying a kilogram of salt would still cost you a significant chunk of your daily pay. Many cultures came to revere salt as a wonderful substance with purifying properties. Alongside mercury and sulfur, sodium chloride was one of the three essential substances in alchemy. In fiction, this may be taken a step further: salt can have near-divine power; it can be a weapon against evil and the solution to supernatural problems. This trope applies wherever salt is the downfall of a villain, even if indirectly. Salt can cause pain, as demonstrated by the experience of "rubbing salt in the wound", or by the way it kills pests like worms or slugs on contact. This, combined with the idea that Holy Burns Evil, might inspire this trope. This idea appears in myth and folklore around the world: salt is said to be an effective weapon or repellent against The Corruption, Demons, The Fair Folk, The Undead, Vampires and more. Overlaps with Supernatural Repellent in this case. Super-Trope of Salt the Earth. Not to be confused with any salt dissolved in a liquid solvent, although this trope may involve this. Examples |

In the The Penguins of Madagascar episode, "The Officer X Factor", it's a very hot day at the Central Park Zoo and the Penguins are trying to get away from Officer X, who is substituting for Alice while she is on vacation. The Penguins build a flying machine from a pretzel cart, which Officer X stows away in. During their battle, they accidentally release pretzel salt into the clouds, creating a rainstorm. | |

Adventure Time: Snorlock (a slug that thinks he's a snail) is first threatened, then later attacked, with a few grains of salt. This falls under Logical Weakness as slugs and snails really are vulnerable to salt, though the damage a single grain does is somewhat exaggerated. Jake's brother Jermaine uses special salt to keep away demons trying to get to the items his father has stolen from them. Since he doesn't use the salt for anything else, he has become used to eating bland food, so he's delighted when Jake makes him a meal seasoned from salt... until he discovers that Jake took the salt from the circle that keeps the demons from entering, leaving enough room for one of them to go in. |

Subverted in Crossed. One character escaped from a Crossed when he tripped into a large amount of salt, and so thinks they're allergic to it. The other characters are dubious, thinking it was getting large amounts of powder exploding in its face that confused it, and that anyone would react badly to salt getting in their eyes and mouth. They are later proven right when the character tries to protect his family by spilling a bag of salt in a circle around them, and they all end up raped to death as his wife calls him an idiot. | |

SCP Foundation: SCP-612 ("Aggressive Cable"). A solution of aqueous sodium chloride (a.k.a. salt water) stuns SCP-612 and renders it temporarily inert.

Supernatural: Salt has been the first line of defense for the Winchester boys from the beginning (that, along with Cold Iron and Kill It with Fire were pretty much their only defense early on). Since demons can't cross it, they still use it to fortify positions when they expect an attack. Part of the reason Shotguns Are Just Better is because they can be loaded with rock salt, making them one of the few human weapons effective against ghosts and demons. Sam once foils a fairy by spilling salt on the floor, which forces the fairy to count every grain and gives Sam enough time to finish an incantation to banish the fairies to whence they came. |

Used to great effect in the "Bakeneko" segment of Ayakashi: Samurai Horror Tales. With the help of Kayo and the samurai Odajima, the mysterious Medicine Seller spreads curing salt through the halls surrounding the survivors, creating a barrier the mononoke initially can't cross. The demon eventually breaks through, leaving the Medicine Seller struggling to subdue it — until Kayo resorts to chucking the entire pot of remaining salt into its amorphous form, sending it yowling away in pain. | |

Italian Disney Ducks Comic Universe stories feature rock salt as the shotgun and blunderbuss ammunition of choice for Grandma Duck, Scrooge and Donald. In particular, Scrooge is such an avid user he sometimes loads carronades with salt to fend off the Beagle Boys, with an entire story being centered on him looking for a kind of rock salt that is supposedly so powerful that even the Beagle Boys would leave him alone after one ministration, and in the Reginella Saga Donald once took on an entire Medieval-level army with nothing but a double-barreled shotgun loaded with salt rounds and a boombox with a horrible song and won. | |

Judges Guild supplement Wilderlands of the Magic Realm. Markara Worm island is infested with markara worms, which viciously attack and devour all living things. The only safe place on the island is at the seashore, because makara worms are repelled by salt water. Module Gates of Firestorm Peak.

When it does so, applying a salt solution will completely destroy the spore throughout the creature's body. |

Castlevania (2017): In "Monument", people of Gresit are under assault by Dracula's army of night-creatures, and powerless to fight them off. Trevor directs them in defensive tactics and instructs them to wipe their otherwise-useless weapons with salt. When the turn of battle results in several demons hoisted up by pikemen they were steered into jumping upon, the swordsmen's attacks in the follow-up cut the demons to ribbons far more efficiently that regular townsfolk with personal defense swords could have done without the salt. | |

Tiny Toon Adventures: Inverted in the cartoon, "Slugfest", from the episode, "Mr. Popular's Rules of Cool", where the villain is the Iodizer, a parody of Shredder from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Granted, Plucky and Hamton's favorite TV show is Immature Radioactive Samurai Slugs, a TMNT parody. In the episode, "Grandma's Dead", Mac Duff, Elmyra's father, spends the whole day trying to make drinking water from desalinated tears. However, towards the end of the episode, when he tries to serve it to the guests at the funeral for Jan Brady, one of Elmyra's pet hamsters, it tastes terrible and they spit it out on the lawn. After the guests leave, Mac discovers his latest experiment will make a good slug repellant. |

In Basilisk, Amayo Jingoro's ninjutsu ability allows him to transform himself into a semi-liquid form by covering his body in salt, allowing him to sneak through tight spaces and even suffocate his enemies. The downside to this technique is that it leaves him dehydrated and can cause him to shrivel up and die unless he immerses himself in water to regain his humanoid form. He is also deathly afraid of travelling over the sea, since saltwater can cause him to dissolve completely and die. He is ultimately killed when he is tossed into a bay. | |

Parodied in Delicious in Dungeon. Team Touden is fighting ghosts, and Senshi mentions that salt is used to repel them. He doesn't have any, so he uses sugar instead. It's not as good at purifying as salt, so he uses some more of it. Then he adds some water, fruit juice, and a dash of alcohol. Not only does this somehow work, but it uses the unearthly chill of the ghosts to turn the "holy water" into sorbet. | |

Doctor Who: In the episode "Image of the Fendahl" salt is deadly to the soul-sucking Gallifreyan Eldritch Abomination in question, and that effectiveness is — in-universe — the origin of the superstition that throwing salt over your shoulder wards off evil. Fortunately, one of the characters has a shotgun loaded with rock salt. Played with in the episode "The Unicorn and the Wasp". The Doctor's been poisoned, but has a procedure to save himself. Part of this requires salt, but he then declares that actual salt is too salty and uses anchovies instead. |

The Day of the Triffids (1962): Seawater is found to destroy the titular Man Eating Plants, which leads to some Fridge Logic as most of the chemical salts within are found (albeit in much lower concentrations) in the people they've been feeding on. Assuming seawater is the key and not just water in general, which was ambiguous enough to generate a great deal of natter on the main page at one point, but that would make even less sense. | |
