Hi all,
I did my first salt flush this morning, has anyone else ever done a salt flush before? Any stories successful or unsuccessful would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

It basically cleanses out your stomach and bowels from all of the build up over the years. It won't clean out everything as there would be a lot of build up, but I can tell you that as my day progressed, there was a lot of weird looking stuff leaving my body LOL0 -

Did you use the pink salt as recommended? Where did you get this?
Thanks x0 -

ooooooooh
I'm weary of all these cleanses things, I have IBS I think this would be an extremely bad idea for me lol I spend my whole time trying to regulate my diet so as not to have any 'flushes' lol
On another note though...I would worry about such a high level of salt intake...1 tablespoon 3-5 times a week seems extremely high (even if it is only temporary) I doubt any Dr would recommend this....especially for people who are overweight or have a heart condition......it's a little worrying really.0 -
Sorry to put a downer on that but reading that link its complete pseudoscience, about as useful as any other "detox" and colon hydrotherapy. I guess if it makes you think you feel better etc that's a good placebo effect, but you have to remember it isn't doing anything useful to your body. Your're essentially doing it for fun* rather than any medical benefit.
* I wouldn't call that fun personally0 -
The link doesn't give any reasons for why they think it will have the benefits they claim. The most bizarre bit to me was 'hold your nose as you take it down'! I can't even think of any possible reason for this. Holding your nose won't make the slightest bit of difference!0

Surely gagging would only add to the cleanse i.e. remove even more of those dreaded toxins.0 -
I did use organic pink salt, it has to be a specific type of salt otherwise it is just bad for you. Apparently, from what I have read, it helps with IBS, I don't have IBS though so I can't comment either way on that.
It's like having a colonic basically.
It is NOT a form of weightloss, merely a every now and then way to clean your colon of all of the waste that has stuck to the walls of the colon over the years.
I won't be doing it regularly, by the end of the day the waste I was expelling was nearly clear so I think it has done it's job. I think I will do it once every few months.
The flush doesn't absorb into the body, about half an hour to 2 hours after drinking the water it will ALL come out. It's a flush. It's all in the type and amount of salt that is used that makes it so effective.0 -

LOL yes, this is exactly why. It is pretty hard to down 1ltr of warm salty water all at once. Some people cant cope with the taste and they can throw it all up.
I didn't, nearly did but managed to keep it all down.0 -

Lol - I'm pretty sure holding one's nose won't stop a gag reflex!0 -

I've never heard of pink salt where can you buy it in the uk?0 -
Just get a big bottle of Miralax, a huge bottle of Gatorade to put it in, a bunch of fluids to drink, and move into your bathroom for the day. I had the squeakiest, cleanest colon after my colonoscopy that I'd ever seen--and they gave me pictures too.0
