Instructions
Measure the Salt Precisely
Carefully measure 1/4 teaspoon of fine-grain Himalayan pink salt. Avoid using large crystals or common table salt for this recipe.Pour Filtered Water
Add 8 ounces of filtered or spring water to a glass. Room temperature or warm water helps dissolve the salt more effectively. Avoid tap water if possible.Stir Until Fully Dissolved
Add the measured salt to the water and stir thoroughly until all crystals are completely dissolved.Optional Additions
For added flavor and health benefits, stir in 1 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice. If desired, add 1 teaspoon of raw honey for sweetness (skip honey if avoiding sugar or carbs).Drink on an Empty Stomach
Drink this mixture first thing in the morning on an empty stomach to maximize absorption of minerals. If you’re new to salt water drinks, start slowly—perhaps every other day—to allow your body to adjust.
Notes
- Important: Do not exceed 1/4 teaspoon of salt per 8 oz of water to avoid overconsumption of sodium.
- If the taste is too strong, dilute with more water but do not increase the salt amount.
- Always consult your healthcare provider if you have any medical conditions (e.g., high blood pressure) before starting a salt water routine.
- This drink can be part of a morning detox, but it’s not a substitute for a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
