Ingredients
Scale
- 2 teaspoons natural sea salt or pink Himalayan salt (non-iodized, no additives)
- 1 liter (about 4 cups) warm filtered water (98°F to 105°F)
- Optional: few drops of lemon juice
- Optional: pinch of cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Heat water until warm—not hot—ideally close to body temperature.
- Dissolve the full 2 teaspoons of salt into the water, stirring thoroughly.
- If using lemon or cayenne, stir those in now.
- Drink the full liter within 5–10 minutes on an empty stomach first thing in the morning.
- Stay upright and gently active (walking or sitting) while waiting for the flush to begin.
Notes
Do not use iodized salt or table salt, as it can cause discomfort or interfere with the cleanse. Expect bowel movements within 30–60 minutes. Keep your schedule clear for at least 90 minutes post-drinking. Rehydrate with clean water or an electrolyte drink after the cleanse.
