Salt doesn’t cure fin rot. Generally fin rot is caused by poor water conditions. Most likely due to lack of weekly bowl/tank cleanings, and/or over feeding. In general most cases of fin rot clear up if you keep the betta in clean water. In cases where this doesn’t clean up the fin rot a broad spectrum antibotic is called for. Generally I recommend cleaning the bowl/tank and adding melafix/bettafix.
Salt is not harmful, and may help prevent a number of conditions. 1 teaspoon per 2.5 gallons is generally called for. Table salt works fine.
