Other Interesting Points - Smelling salts have been used since Roman Times and are still used today, also known as 'sal volatile' due tor their ability to produce a reaction. They were widely used in Victorian Britain to revive fainting women, and in some areas police constables would carry a container of them for this reason. The use of smelling salts was widely recommended during WW2, with all workplaces advised by the British Red Cross & St. John's Ambulance to keep 'sal volatile' in their First Aid boxes. Smelling salts are often used on athletes (such as boxers) when they are knocked unconscious or semi-conscious although a number of sports governing bodies, such as the FA in the UK recommend against their use.
