Ohhhh, the yummy salt water flush! This is many times the most difficult part of the Master Cleanse detox. It is also optional as you can drink the Smooth Move tea instead, but I certainly would recommend doing the Salt Water Flush every day the first couple of days. After that you can do the flush every couple of days if you are finding it very unpleasant or difficult.
How to prepare The Salt Water Flush
Using 1 liter BPA Free Water Bottle and your teaspoon measure, mix a solution consisting of :
- Sea Salt - 2 teaspoons
- And Pure Water – 1 quart of warm water
There have been many questions about this process. Many people complain that the SWF doesn’t work for them. This is probably the most common mistake with the master cleanse. I believe it can work for everyone, but there are no absolutes in this world. The key is to adjust the amount of salt in order to create the right solution for your individual needs.
2 Important Tips to make sure you do the Salt Water Flush right
- Make sure you don’t used iodized table salt. NON-iodized sea salt is essential.
- The Salt Water Flush MUST be done on an empty stomach
The Salt Water Flush flushes the whole digestive tract in a way that is very specific and different from the laxative tea. The laxative in a form of tea is necessary every day to allow for the elimination of the toxins from the body. Master Cleanse is all about releasing, so this is very important.

Salt Water Flush tips:
There are few common tricks to ” getting it down” and here is the list:
- 1. You can try brushing your teeth with a really minty (if posible organic) tooth paste before you drink the mixture. This one works quite well.
- 2. Some people find quite a bit of success with drinking it warm and pretending/ visualizing it’s a chicken broth.
- 3. My personal favourite was having a spoon dipped in maple syrup ready after each time I would take a drink. By licking the spoon a little, my mind would concentrate on the strong flavour of maple syrup and be distracted from the saltiness.
- 4. I also heard about people sipping the salty mixture through a straw.
- 5. You can add a little bit of fresh lemon juice to change the salty taste.

Can I use Epsom salts for the Salt Water Flush?

Some people are using epsom salts for the Salt Water Flush, and I would not recommend that. Here is why: Using Epsom Salt for the SWF can be extremely abrasive to the colon, especially when used daily as recommended on the Master Cleanse.
-
Sea salt is obtained from the evaporation of sea water.
-
Epsom salt is obtained by chemical process.
-
The major component of Epsom salt is magnesium.
-
Sea salt contains 98.0 % NaCl (sodium-chloride) + 80 essential elements (2%).
Epsom Salt Bath: relax and keep hydrated.

We Start in -51 Days: Why go this alone...
I am starting my cleanse tmrw. I saw to add in the seasalt flush and a laxative tea. How often do I drink the SWF and do I start this the same day of my MC? Do I continue this for the full ten days of MC? What is best laxative tea? How many cups/day of the LT do I drink? Do I continue the LT for the full 10 days?
After doing the SWF this morning I feel extra thirsty right after. Is it okay to drink water as I wait for a movement?
Drink all the water you want. Continuing to drink after every movement cleans you so well that in the end your movement is as clear as urine. You know you have achieved cleaning your insides from top to bottom.
Hello Everyone! Today is day 2 of the SWC for me! Its been tough but Ive been focused….Ive never accomplished anything like this in my life. I just recently had a baby 2 months ago:) Im gearing up for a trip to Florida also wanted a fresh start getting into good eating habbits. Wish me luck on my MC journey!! Im gonna need it!
Good luck
greetings, this morning I tried a SWF using a sea salt purchased from target (it says NO IODINE). Drank a liter of warm water with 2 teaspoons of the salt in 2 minutes. I had zero bowel movement! I think I did a few things wrong 1.) I drank it at 5am and I had eaten as late as 7:30 the night before. 2.) perhaps I did not purchase an adequate brand of sea salt? please advise! and 3.) perhaps I need to put in a little more salt. any thoughts? thanks and cheers from Boston, Adrienne
Hi Adrienne,
It sounds like you did take it on an empty stomach — you had a whole night before doing the SWF. You might try using a different sea salt, the more unprocessed the better. Also, adding more salt could be a possibility. Sometimes adjusting the ratio of salt to water is the key. Good luck!
Today is my first day and I found that adding fresh lemon juice to the Sea Salt water
i added a little bit of molasses to the 32 oz of room temp water and 10 grams (2 tsp) of sea salt. went down easy. started working in about 2-3 minutes.
I heard from someone to do a shot glass of the swf and then drink the rest of the water. I did this but I made a mistake……I only used 1 tsp….dumb
Anyway it kind of worked…so tomorrow I will do the 2 tsp in a shot glass then the liter of water. However it only took about 15 min b4 I had to go to the bathroom…..
Question: when doing the swf do you still drink the laxative tea 2x per day?
Any thoughts on doing the swf this way?
Hi Roxanne,
It seems like everyone has their own trick for doing the SWF. So if this works for you, then it’s good.
And if you’re doing the SWF once a day, then you only have to drink the laxative once a day also.
