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 od 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 consisted 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 worked 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 track 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, mu mind would concentrate on the strong flavour of maple syrup and distract from the saltiness.
- 4. I also heard about people sipping the salty mixture through a straw.
- 5. You can add 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%).

I tried my first salt water flush this morning (I’m on day two) and I had very TINY movement…like literally had some gas and there was some leakage and barely went to the bathroom today. I am a meat eater so I’m not sure if that affects it? I was expecting to live in the bathroom today lol. I was wondering if I drank the salt water flush either hot or cold, would that make a difference?

This is my 3rd time to do the mastercleanse and the Salt Water Flush part is the most difficult. I just completed 10 days today and a friend of mine told me using a wide straw and having it as far as possible in your mouth helps, low and behold it made all the difference! Super excited, my experience has been much better than ever before. I tried the shot of salt followed by the rest of the water but I thought I would die.
In an attempt to avoid the salt, on day 1 I took the smooth move laxative in the morning but that didnt work quite well, it doesnt flush the system. All in all, its worth the trouble, I love mastercleanse. Fyi I didnt lose any weight this time am yet to find out what I might have done wrong but am in good shape, just thought I could lose like 5lbs just because -:).

I am normally a Miso soup junkie, so I enjoy this part of the diet when I tell myself it is an extra large helping of Miso soup. :)

I have found that closing my eyes and telling myself that I am drinking soup helps. (Granted, not great tasting soup, but the idea is easier on me than the reality.)

I found that drinking about a cup of water then taking the salt water in a ‘shot’ at about 2 oz of concentrated salt water and then chasing it with the rest of the quart really helped.

This is my second day of the cleanse. Yesterday was very hard for me to do that salt water flush. So I tried the salt water in a shot this morning. It was WAY easier. But I do not have the bowel movements like I did yesterday. Has anyone else tried this? Would this give the same effect as drinking 1 quart of salt water?

SWF worked fine for my wife, I drank a quart with the sea salt, did not need to use restroom till next day, found out later needed to lay down on right side, next attempt, laid on right side for a whole movie, never even got a wet fart out of the deal, 3rd attempt drank over a quart, to a miserable state, with 1 table spoon salt =3 teaspoons, laid for 20 min then vomited like none ones business. I’m about to eat me a big bag of Doritos.

Instead of buying a ton of lemons could you just use the real lemon brand of lemon juice in position of the ton of lemons?

No you can’t. Must be fresh lemons.
