How to Make a Sea Salt Flush

A salt-water flush, also called internal salt-water bathing, is most commonly used in the master cleanse diet. Proponents say this method of intestinal cleansing will eliminate excess toxins and built-up matter from the entire length of your intestines, making it more effective than an enema which only cleans part of the large intestine. The master cleanse diet is promoted as a cleanse; but many dieters use it for its weight loss benefits, even though weight loss is often temporary and regained once normal eating is restored. There is much controversy surrounding this practice and most medical authorities reject its usefulness and question its safety.

Instructions

• 1

  Measure one quart of room temperature or warm water in a measuring cup. Choose filtered water. This is an intensive cleanse and even impurities found in tap water should be eliminated.

• 2

  Add 2 teaspoons of high-quality sea salt to the water. Do not use iodized sea salt; it will not produce the desired results.

• 3

  Stir until all salt is dissolved.

• 4

  Drink all the water quickly, within no more than ten minutes. It is important for the liquid to move through your system in its entirety to accomplish a successful flush.

• 5

  Remain close to bathroom facilities. The effects of a salt-water flush will require several trips to the bathroom within a short amount of time. Urgent bouts of diarrhealike elimination should be expected.
