Hi Kathy. It is a good, all-around rule of thumb to use the smallest amount of sea-salt in your cooking per day. The salt should be added to the cook pot and not at the table. In
general the craving for salt comes when you are too yin, or when its accumulated stores (from past eating habits) start to discharge from the the body. Too much salt is injurious to kidneys and bladder. Too much salt is yangizing and makes you retain liquid, as well as be atracted to liquid and sugars.
The amount you are using now is appropriate. Your liquid consumption seems appropriate as well. Maybe use a little more liquid in cooking and tea. Eating a little shreded daikon radish (raw) helps to eliminate both cravings for salt and aids in the discharge of it from the body. Thanks for your question.
In peace, Roy
