People who live with a condition called “Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome’ (POTS), are often told to try and consume as much salt as possible so that it helps the body hold and retain fluids to help support symptom management. For people with POTS, the heart rate spikes when they go to stand as their autonomic nervous system isn’t working as well as it does for someone without POTS. Salt is one way to support someone QOL with POTS, increasing salt allows the body to retain more fluid and reduces the spike of heart rate, and makes standing easier to do. 

The ‘salty’ pin is a nod of awareness and celebration for anyone that has or manages POTS. It invites you to open dialogue and awareness for those with POTS. 

Note: This is not medical advice. Please always see a Dr before changing your diet or intaking more salts.
