WHAT IS A SEA SALT COLON CLEANSE
AND HOW DOES IT WORK?

A sea salt colon cleanse is one of the best and easiest methods of colon cleansing. Sea salt colon cleansing has been around for centuries and is undoubtedly a time tested and proven method of cleansing your colon of toxins, fecal buildup, and hard deposits. A sea salt colon cleanse involves a simple routine of taking sea salt mixed in water on an empty stomach in the morning for a number of days. The process has been proven to be extremely beneficial for not just cleansing the colon, but for clearing the whole digestive tract of impurities, solidified fecal matter, waste buildups and other harmful elements.

The key to a master cleanse using the salt water flush method is to use only pure sea salt or mineral salt that has not been treated chemically. You cannot achieve the same or even similar results by using common table salt because it not only lacks certain essential minerals that are present in sea salt, but also contains iodine, which is not present in crude sea salt. Coming to the question of how sea salt cleans the colon perfectly, then you would be shocked to know that the jury is still out on this one.

To date, the mechanism that makes sea salt an optimum colon cleanser has still not been totally proven or found. However, most experts say that this is because a solution of sea salt and water has the same specific gravity as human blood. Due to this reason, it is not passed to the kidney for further purification like normal liquid solutions. Instead, the sea salt and water solution pass through the digestive tract almost wholly intact till the end, cleansing your stomach, small and large intestines. The components present in sea salt not only dislodge the waste particles sticking to your colon and hampering other digestive organs, they also effectively kill all parasites present in your digestive organs. A sea salt colon cleanse is almost like an oral enema because it is just as effective without being invasive at all.

Another major advantage that sea salt has over and above normal table salt is that it does not raise your blood pressure. This is because the sea salt and water solution, if mixed correctly, is not broken down into its components and is not made to pass into the blood stream. You also do not need to fear any water retention like you would have by consuming large amounts of normal sodium chloride.

To do a sea salt colon cleanse, you will first need to use a normal over the counter laxative or psyllium husk for one or two days in order to get rid of as much fecal matter in your colon as possible. Add 2 level teaspoons of sea salt to a quart of hot or warm water. Drink it all at one go first thing in the morning before you eat or drink anything else. You can try doing some stretches or massage your stomach for some time after drinking this solution.

After a couple of hours or so, elimination of waste from your digestive tract will start in the form of bowel movements (this would most probably be more than one or two, so there is no need to worry if you have to keep visiting the toilet frequently during the day). If your colon is badly clogged, then you might want to follow this routine continuously for a few weeks or even three to four weeks. On the other hand, you can do it just once a week to maintain perfect colon health. Sea salt colon cleansing has been known to alleviate ailments ranging from appendicitis, digestive tract related diseases and headache to heart diseases and menstrual problems.
