I used 2 tablespoons as was reading directions from other sites and so got conflated with advice here.
30 min in and whooooooshhhhh.
Was scared to leave the toilet as many “aftershocks” but seem to be ok now.

I would recommend having a glass of plain water ready to rinse and spit and possibly drink as after I drank the Saltwater the residue just sat in my mouth and caused some nausea.

“Water follows salt as well as sugar”.
That’s why a lot of the IV Fluids given in the hospital contain salt and dextrose. .

I think the lemon helps with flush.

No food some liquid intake during night and still no food, little water.
Next morning, today, nothing. 1:00pm, urges started. Big gas release, strain and got loose sediment/diarrhea…so I am not cleaned out. Going for 2nd dose of saltwater.

I used Mediterranean Sea Salt, I had to grind it, did everything as directed. All I feel so far is my whole body is buzzing with extra pins and needles nerve pain, than I normally have. I know I have 💩, my X-ray 4 days ago showed significant stool load throughout my large colon. So, now I’m drinking extra water (I drink LOTS of water daily, normally), cuz it seems like leaving the salt in my body is not a good thing. I’m so disappointed this didn’t work for me, but dealing with CONSTIPATION for 17+ yrs, I should not be surprised.

If you have small intestine bacterial overgrowth, any fibre will WORSEN the problem and ADD to constipation. This is not your place to give such bad advice when Dr Axe already gave THE BEST SOLUTION for the problem!!!

I wouldn’t do it everyday. It might mess with your salt levels in your blood. And it dehydrates you.

I like to prepare coconut water with fresh orange juice, OJ after. It’s the best after this cleanse.

Its not usually ok to do it everyday because salt dehydrates you. I personally do it once a week. But if you plan on doing everyday pair it with lots of water afterwards. Stay safe!

These instructions literally read like a cross between drinking an oral solution and doing an enema. “If you can manage to hold in the solution” and “once you feel you can no longer hold out then go to the bathroom”.

I performed this Sea salt cleansing from June thou I know I mustn’t perform it often but since then, my colon is back on track with less allergic reaction. I was also diagnosed with Fibromyalgia. All I cn say is, m alive again. M active, can concentrate, energetic, happy n enjoying life which I hv been yearning for. I hv never felt this good. I am using Himalayan salt only

Yes, this is very important. The exact ratio of salt to
Water give the liquid the same density as blood which is why it can pass right through without being absorbed. It’s also why you can die of dehydration when stranded a drift on the sea but drink plenty of sea (salty) water. The body doesn’t recognize a specific concentration of salt water as an absorbable liquid but as a body fluid that just passes through.

Years ago, I and other people used to do a salt water flush according to some East Indian practice. It involved a step by step way to move the salt water through the system – laying on a certain side, flexing certain muscles in the abdominal region in a certain order. It worked if done properly, but we had a friend who didn’t follow the instructions exactly and had to go to the emergency room because of the salt water in her system.
