We use it (expression) to diminish the context's intensity. Example:
<Tu te fais trop de soucis avec ce qu'elle a dit, prend cela avec un grain de sel...>
And here is my "pseudo-translation" because english is not my native language.
<Don't be worried about what she said and take this with a grain of salt>.
Hope this helps a bit.
