it does speed up the healing but it's going to hurt, A LOT!! I don't know how much quicker but I can tell you this. When my teacher when to visit the Dead Sea a little boy with a minor cut on his foot stepped into the water and started screaming. The next day the cut was gone.
In war times they would usually throw injured solidiers into the Dead Sea so their wounds would heal quicker.

Salt water will keep the cuts clean and thereby promote infection-free healing. It will sting, however, and the cuts won't necessarily heal any faster.

What????? Salt water will do nothing but make you scream in agony. You use warm salt water for swollen muscles or a sore throat.
