When To Perform The Salt Water Cleanse

By Jacob Rios


The use of a salt water flush as part of a weight loss program is getting a lot of attention today. As with any self-help program, you should investigate to see if there are warnings associated with this one or if it is generally accepted as safe.

There are many guides to the flushing procedure online, and most call for one quart of warm water and two teaspoons of sea salt. Do not substitute Epsom salts or the regular table variety. Mineral salt is sometimes specified, but this is generally mined from old deposits where ancient seas covered the land. Filtered water is probably best to use, although the liquid will not be absorbed into the body. It will be expelled through the anus along with wastes and toxins.

It is best to do set aside a morning for the procedure, at least until you know how you will react. Skip dinner the night before and drink a cup of laxative tea before bed. In the morning, drink your quart of the salty mixture as soon as you get up, and then return to bed. You need to lie on your right side for thirty minutes to get the liquid through your intestines. After that, you can move around freely. You may feel some cramping and should have an initial evacuation of the liquid followed by one or more bowel movements.

You will find that most of the sites feel that this procedure is safe to use, as well as being good for self-administration and very private. Recommendations of how often this can be done vary from once a year to every day for two weeks or even more often.

Whenever you plan to manage your own health care, you need to read up on the subject. Removing toxins is very helpful during weight loss and can mean the difference in feeling great or feeling like you might have the flu. Eating fewer calories and choosing whole and fiber-rich foods will accelerate the cleansing, and many feel that using herbal and other methods of cleansing keep the toxins from being re-absorbed in the colon.

A salt water flush may become a regular part of your weight control plan, giving new meaning to the term 'a new you'.
