  • You should tell your doctor and get a blood test. Your body might be burning or naturally low in essential minerals it needs, and it may not be salt at all (you might just be using salt to try and compensate).
    You should not have such a craving for salt to the point your lips dry out. Too much salt can cause other issues.
    Two things. Eat a banana, you might actually need potassium (found in salt). Salt cravings occur when you are already dehydrated, so drink more water.
    Get to the doctor.

    There's a reason for it and it can be deadly serious, not just a mental or taste thing. Tell your doctor and insist on being tested for all possibilities.
