Doctors' responses

For a saltwater cleanse, you’re aiming to create a solution similar in salinity to your body’s natural balance. You’d typically use around 1 to 2 teaspoons of unrefined non-iodized sea salt or Himalayan salt for 300 ml of warm water. Ensure that you dissolve the salt completely in the water. This mixture is best consumed on an empty stomach in the morning, but it’s important to note this isn’t for everyone, and it might not be suitable if you have high blood pressure or kidney issues.

Ayurvedic texts would suggest starting with day to see how your body responds, instead of a prolonged regimen without guidance. Typically, a cleanse may range from one to several days depending on an individuals need and tolerance. You should attentively observe how your body reacts after the first time, noticing symptoms like bloating, cramps, or diarrhea; and adjust accordingly. If your system doesn’t react well, it’s crucial to stop and consult with a healthcare provider or an Ayurvedic practitioner. Hydration is key during this process –drink sufficient amounts of clean water throughout.

Furthermore, your diet during these days should be light and easily digestible. You can try kitchari, a staple in Ayurvedic cleansing. Avoid processed foods, caffeine, sugar, and dairy during this time, focusing more on fresh fruits and steamed vegetables. Remember this method isn’t universally endorsed for everyone, some people might not find relief with such methods. Always prioritize safely and listen to your body’s signals; drastic measures like this cleanse should be approached carefully.
