How Can I Make the Salt Water Flush (SWF) Easier?
Most of us can’t stand the Salt Water Flush. If it isn’t the taste, its the volume of liquid. Here are a few tips from our readers to help get through this process.
[adrotate banner="8"]
- Use a straw to drink the mixture. You won’t have to taste so much as the liquid does not pass over most of your tongue. Remember to breathe or you might get a head rush.
- Add the juice from 1 lemon. This is a popular suggestion. We are taking in lemon already, so no harm done. I wonder about how it effects the Specific Gravity of the solution.
- Brush your teeth first. The mint from your toothpaste will help disguise the taste.
- Use warm to mildly hot water. Readers report it makes the mixture taste a little like soup.

I simply cant drink the salt water. My gag reflex is over powering. Im currently putting the salt in thin pill capsules and then drinking the liter of water. this way i can at least get it all down. Sometimes it works and other times it still makes it way up. Is there a better way to keep the mixture down?

Yes; Make the water Hotter!!! The hotter the water the less gaggy it is. It should be just cooler than a hot cup of coffee so you can gulp it down in 5 to 10 minutes. Also: It works better if it is done within a few minutes of waking. Do not eat or drink anything else. I have done the saltwater cleanse DAILY (2 level teaspoons of mortons iodized salt to 1 Quart hot water) for 34 years. As Mr. Black said, it is the greatest thing.

Is there any reason I could not just dissolve the required amount of salt in 1 or 2 ounces of water for the SWF then chug a quart a clean water afterwards? I would still intake the same amount of water and salt but would not have to taste salt the whole time. A”shot” of salt water while more concentrated at first is easily diluted by the water “chaser” especially if lemon is added.

I used to do it this way the first time I did the MC and it worked just fine! It was a lot easier on my taste buds to quickly drink all the salt with some water and then drink clean water to make sure I got enough.
(This may sound odd but I jumped around a little bit after I was done to essentially “mix” it in my stomach :P)

I am answering my own question. I am at day 5 and doing fine. I dissolve 2 tablespoons of sea salt into a mug with about 2oz of hot water. I use hot so the salt will dissolve more easily. I then add another 2-3 oz. of cold water with lemon juice to cool it down and help with the flavor. I chug the mixture and then immediately chase it with 16 oz of cold water flavored with lemon juice. I wait a few minutes to let that all settle then drink another 16 oz to get the whole liter down. It has worked fine without any nausea.

Yes it is important to mix the water and salt in the right proportion. (2 level teaspoons of table salt to 1 Quart very warm, almost hot, water). This matches the salinity of the blood. When you drink it first thing in the morning it rushes into your blood stream, flushing and cleaning your blood system and carrying away impurities that bond with the Na and Cl. Of course it cleans your colon too. You can do this every day. I have for 34 years.

Today is my first day attempting the master cleanse. I have just tried the salt water rinse and could not keep it down. Although my sinuses are now cleaned out I’m pretty sure that wasn’t the goal. I can get past the salt taste. I think it was a matter of the volume of the liquid. I was super full abs felt nauseous immediately. Any suggestions?

You could try to drink it more slowly. This should also be done on an empty stomach.

Make the water Hotter !!! Also mix exactly 2 level teaspoons with water in a very clean glass quart canning jar. Plastic has a nasty taste. Mix it frequently while you drink it. I have done it daily for 34 years. I like to say it remove 90% of the discomfort of having a human body
