Internal salt water bathI have to laugh because most people think I am talking about a hot soak in a bath. What I am referring to is the internal salt water bath.  It is a great tool to learn…might just as well replace a colonic, but there are differences. It is inexpensive although the kind of salt used is more expensive than the table salt.

My preference is the Internal Salt Water Bath as I have used it for many years successfully.  I give thanks to Stanley Burroughs for sharing it.  I have also completed the Master Cleanse a number of times…one should buy the book before attempting this because I find most people are not doing it correctly.

I coach people to do the Internal Salt Water Bath, the Master Cleanse, a 7 Day Raw Food Detox or a Nutritional Cleanse and Replenishing Program, etc., BUT your priority should be to create a healthy lifestyle of good quality real food and nourishment otherwise you might be creating a yo-yo effect.

Just want to mention something quickly, The Master Cleanse has the reputation of only being 10 days. This is not the best guidance. The healthy lifestyle or what you do thereafter with your eating habits and attitude, will make the world of difference. What you do most of the time will have the greater benefit on your health and longevity.Internal salt water bath himalayan

One more thing, our body is suppose to cleanse itself regularly and naturally but for some the quality of the food and lifestyle does not lend itself to proper elimination. Toxins/chemicals are one of the root causes of disease. If you have any inflammation or diagnosed with a health condition then let’s explore how your elimination pathways are functioning. Well-being is for all of us to discover.

How you conduct your Internal Salt Water Bath will make a difference to the results.

Your health, my passion!

CLEANSING AID: INTERNAL SALT WATER BATHING

By: Stanley Burroughs, The Master Cleanser with Special Needs and Problems

As it is necessary to bathe the outside of our bodies, so it is with the inside. Do not take enemas or colonics at any time during the cleansing diet or afterwards. They are unnecessary and can be extremely harmful.

“Superior method of cleansing the colonic tract without the harmful effects of customary colonics and enemas.”

There is a much superior method of cleansing the colonic tract without the harmful effects of customary colonics and enemas. This method will cleanse the entire digestive tract while the colonics and enemas will only reach the colon or a small part of it.  Colonics can be expensive while our salt water method is not.

salt4DIRECTIONS: Prepare a full quart of lukewarm water and add two level (rounded for Canadian quart) teaspoons of uniodized sea salt. Do not use ordinary iodized salt as it will not work properly. Drink the entire quart of salt and water first thing in the morning. This must be taken on an empty stomach. The salt and water will not separate but will stay intact and quickly and thoroughly wash the entire tract in about one hour. Several eliminations will likely occur. The salt water has the same specific gravity as the blood, hence the kidneys cannot pick up the water and the blood cannot pick up the salt. This may be taken as often as needed for proper washing of the entire digestive system.

If the salt water does not work the first time, try adding a little more or a little less salt until the proper balance is found; or possibly take extra water with or without salt. This often increases the activity. Remember, it can do no harm at any time. The colon needs a good washing, but do it the natural way – the salt water way.

It is quite advisable to take the herb laxative tea at the night to loosen, then the salt water each morning to wash it out. For Master Cleanse: If not some reason the salt water cannot be taken in the morning, then the herb laxative tea must be taken night and morning.

Cheryl’s Comments

I have performed this dozens of times over the past 20 years.  Drink fluid within 20 minutes and use a straw if the water tastes too salty for you.  Have a light meal (salad, veggies, etc.) the night before and don’t eat late.  Go to bed at a decent hour, let’s say by 11 pm. Once you learn and experience it, you can add it to your tool box of keeping not only the colon clean but the entire intestinal tract. For more information, support, and questions, please contact me. [As first published in Healthy Balance 4 You.]

I highly recommend the book as it is short and explains more (i.e. its safety, health benefits, etc.).

Before the age of 20, it never dawned on me that what I chose to put in my mouth would have such a dramatic effect on my wellbeing.
On my path of discovery, I learned that our eating choices directly affected how much energy we have first thing in the morning or that it would build our immune system strength during flu season.  I came to understand how gentle nutritional cleansing directly helped overcome my health challenges. People keep telling me how beautiful my skin is or how I look younger.
As my studies continued, it became obvious that there is an intrinsic connection between the mind, body and spirit which directly affects our health and happiness.  I learned that Omegas are another critical piece of the wellness puzzle. I became convinced when the Auum omegas alone turned on some switches in my brain in just one day.
I have developed a deep appreciation for the wonderful miracle workers our bodies are in the recovery process.  Our bodies have a natural intelligence.  I am passionate to share the connection between nutrition and wellness in my practice and my presentations.
