To calculate how much salt water to add to a 4 by 3 pot, measure the volume of the pot in cubic inches. Then, you can determine the desired salinity level for your dish and use a ratio to mix salt and water accordingly. Remember to consider the density of salt when making your calculations.
Salt water is a solution (when one substance is evenly mixed into another liquid [usually water] e.g. sugar water), and to separate a solution is a pot or bowl and a fire or stove. Simply boil the water, wait for it to evaporate and you have salt.
When a teaspoon of salt is dissolved in a pot of water, it undergoes a physical change. The salt dissociates into its constituent ions, sodium and chloride, but its chemical structure remains unchanged. This process is reversible, as the salt can be recovered by evaporating the water. Thus, the dissolution of salt in water is a physical change rather than a chemical one.
A salt solution is a mixture because if you placed the mixture in a pot and boiled it, all of the would eventually evaporate and you are going to be left with the salt left at the bottom of the pot. A mixture is a substance that can be separated without any chemical means.

A Neti Pot (available at drugstores and health food stores) works very well for sinus congestion and allergies. It is a small ceramic container, shaped a bit like an Aladin's lamp, that you use for flushing out the nasal passages. You use a saline (salt and water solution), and it helps flush the congestion and any possible allergens (if you have allergies) away. Or you can use a saline spray, available at any drugstore. It's not quite as effective as the Neti Pot, but it does help, and unlike the Neti Pot, it can be taken with you and used anywhere. Both of these can be used as often as necessary, since they are not medications, and you don't have the worry of overdosing on them. The Neti Pot is about $15, and a bottle of nasal spray is about $1.
