How to Make Sole Water

Learning how to make sole water is key to:

  • Increase Hydration
  • Energy
  • Vibration
  • Cellular Communication 
  • Replenish Electrolytes with 84 Trace Minerals

I learned how to make sole water when I was diagnosed with adrenal fatigue. So, I want to share how Sole water (pronounced So-Lay) helped me. This is a simple and cost-effective way to introduce beneficial minerals into our bodies.

Our adrenal glands need minerals for optimal function, and when we’re stressed, we need to replenish the minerals our bodies burn up. Ever felt light-headed if you stand up too fast? Feeling depleted, low energy, foggy? Adding in more minerals is a great place to start, and Sole water is a quick, easy, absorbable, plus cost-effective way to do it.

How to Make Sole Water:

  1. Fill a wide-mouth glass jar halfway up with Himalayan Crystal Stones.
  2. Add filtered water to the jar with the Stones in it.
  3. Let it sit for 24 hours allowing for the water to become fully saturated with Himalayan Crystal Salt.

The water in your jar has now transformed into Sole!

Keep the jar covered to avoid evaporation and dust. Don’t use metallic lids or spoons.

No special storage is needed. Simply keep the Sole jar on your kitchen counter for convenience and as a perpetual reminder!

Original Himalayan Crystal Stones should always be visible in the jar. Add new Stones before they have fully dissolved. Add new water as needed and let sit for 24 hours each time to ensure complete saturation before the next use.

How to Use Sole Water

When Himalayan Crystal Stones are dissolved in spring water, the solution created is called “SOLE” (so-lay).

Now, don’t be alarmed! You’re not drinking a huge glass of salt water!

How to make sole water Option #1

Add 1 teaspoon of Sole to an 8-ounce glass of your preferred drinking water.

Drink each morning on an empty stomach and then wait 30 minutes before eating.

How to make sole water Option #2

Add 1 teaspoon of Sole to 1 quart of your preferred drinking water and drink it throughout the day.

If, with either Option, the cleansing effect is too intense for you, simply reduce the amount of Sole to a couple of drops.

Sole is safe for children just reduce the amount of Sole added to their water to half a teaspoon.

Benefits of Sole Water

Overall benefits backed by clinical research:

  • Helps to stabilize pH for a healthier acid-alkaline balance
  • Helps to stabilize oxidative stress
  • Hydration indicators showed an average of ten percent increase
  • Plus, Original Himalayan Crystal Salt has not demonstrated any adverse side effects.

There are a few studies that explain why we would put Sole water in our bodies.

The first clinical study was conducted at the University of Graz, Austria in 2001, and is detailed in the book, Water & Salt, The Essence of Life.

At the end of the study, those who drank the Original Himalayan Crystal Salt Solecame very close to the range of normal health… while those who drank Sole made from common sea salt were at least 35% away from a normal range of wellness!

Participants who drank water mixed with Himalayan Crystal Salt® Sole enjoyed significant positive changes in respiratory, circulatory, organ, connective tissue, and nervous system functions.

Patients also reported increases in quality of sleep, energy, and concentration levels, brain activity, weight loss, enhanced consciousness, and noticeable hair and nail growth.

Q. I was advised to be on a low sodium diet, can I still use Sole?

A: The RDA for sodium is 2,300 mg per day. This is the amount that the human body needs for normal bodily functions. The average American consumes 3,400 mg of sodium, with most of this coming from processed foods. 1 teaspoon of Sole contains only 478 mg of sodium, less than 1/4 of the recommended daily allowance and therefore is beneficial as part of your low sodium requirements. The best way to reduce your sodium intake is to avoid processed foods.

How to Live a Healthier Life with Hydration

The first area to examine for those  focused on living a healthier life is to examine their level of hydration. A person can survive 30-40 days without food but only 3-5 days without water.  Consider what you are drinking throughout the day and particularly  first thing in the morning.

Ideally, you are sleeping the recommended 7-9 hours a night. Living a healthier life certainly requires rest so your body can restore, regenerate and heal. Now, reflect on the last time you body has had water upon first waking. Even if you slept 8 hours, it may have been hours before that since you’ve drank water.  If you are getting the recommended 7-9 hours of sleep than you’ve likely gone all that time without anything to drink if not longer. Drink  about 6 ounces of purified water upon waking to replenish your body’s needs.

Can You Live a Healthier Life Drinking Coffee or Tea?

If you reach for coffee, black tea or a soft drink you are dehydrating your body along with pulling crucial calcium from the body, thanks to the caffeine. That is right, caffeine pulls calcium from the body or specifically from the bone. Plus, coffee and tea also drive iron out of the body. Iron deficiencies may include fatigue, brittle nails, depression and even allergies to foods such as oats. If you still insist on drinking coffee or tea you’ll need to double water intake to counteract the dehydrating effects of any caffeine you consume.

Coffee and tea are also acidic which disrupts the body’s natural pH balance which disrupts the digestive process. If digestion is disrupted you may over eating and literally still be starving to death. This creates the perfect environment to create sickness & disease as well as nutrient deficiencies. Caffeine also greatly stress the body which leads to further health issues.

Not sure if you have a hydration problem? Dehydration can impact brain function!

Hydration Tip : Grab a glass of water FIRST or instead of the caffeine!

  1. Try adding the juice of 1/2 lemon to aid in digestion and assist with weight-loss. Use warm or at least room temperature water.
  2. Consider drinking diluted organic juice mixed 50/50 (half juice and half water) to energize and give you a lift in the morning or anytime during the day. If it is extremely hot outside, add a pinch of pink Himalayan Pink Sea Salt.
  3. Add cayenne pepper and pure maple syrup to the lemon water for a great natural detox.

Water Quality and Living a Healthier Life:

The quality (or lack thereof) of your water is crucial to live a healthier life. Each time we use water (drink, wash foods, bathing) we are also exposed to the chemicals and contaminates in the household water. When you consider just how often we are exposed to household water, it is really no surprise that it could derail efforts to live a healthier life and to improve health.  Heavy metals such as aluminum, chlorine and fluoride are concerns as they create addition imbalances in the body.

  • Your body is over 70% water by volume, your brain and blood are each up to 90%.
  • Third party reports from sites like Homefacts.com link the contaminants present and legally allowed in your tap water to chronic diseases and even cancer.
  • Bottled water is a $60 Billion a year global industry with an average price of $10 per gallon!  It is less tested and regulated than your tap water.
  • Even if you don’t drink your water, you are still likely showering and cooking with it.  So the bottom line is that if it’s in your water, it’s in you!
  • Here are some additional water facts from www.LivingwaterLLC.com
Do you know what’s in your water? You should, as quality water is life sustaining!  I highly recommend taking a good look at the quality of your water and make the investment to improve it as soon as possible.  Poor quality water will always impact efforts to live a healthier life which is why water sources need to be addressed.
Many don’t realize that dehydration is actually more common in the winter months than in the summer months. During the winter months it can be difficult to get the appropriate amount of water and many people have no idea they AREN’T getting enough.

How Much Water is Enough Water?

Take your body weight and divide it by 2, that is how many ounces of water you need each day. So a 150 lb person/2 = 75 oz of water needed a day  or 9 glasses a day. Remember liquids from clean sources of broth, herbal (non caffeine) teas, juice from fruit, etc. all count too. Peppermint or spearmint herbal tea are two of my favorites. What are your favorite sources of hydration?

Improve you health through hydration by:
  1. Drinking water when you first wake up
  2. Ensuring you household water source is clean & healthy
  3. Consuming the proper amount of water per day

Remember implementing small changes will create lasting benefits for a lifetime!

Are Cancer and Dehydration Connected?

Water is critical to the operation and healing of our body as our body is comprised primarily of water. The average adult body is about 70% water. The brain is composed of 75% water, and the lungs are nearly 90 percent water. About 83 percent of our blood is water, which helps digest our food, transport waste, and control body temperature.

Each day humans must replace 2.4 liters of water, some through drinking and the rest taken by the body from the foods eaten. Drinking two quarts of purified drinking water per day is helpful to detoxify the body.

Cancer growth usually occurs in areas of severe dehydration.

The cells can run dry and are severely dehydrated for a number of reasons:

1. Lack of water intake
2. Consumption of beverages that have diuretic effects like coffee, caffeinated tea, soda pop, and alcohol
3. Consumption of stimulating foods or substances, such as meat, hot spices, sugar and tobacco
4. Stress
5. Most pharmacological drugs
6. Excessive exercise
7. Overeating and excessive weight gain
8. Watching television daily for several hours

Dr. Lorraine Day, an expert in treating cancer by alternative means, states that diseases/cancer are caused by three things: improper diet, dehydration, and stress.

So how do we keep ourselves hydrated? Not all beverages are the best choice for maintaining hydration. Water is the best choice, but not all water sources are the best option.

Avoid city water that contains fluoride. The best source of purified water is to purchase a filtration system for your whole house or at least an under the sink model to ensure safe drinking water. This eliminates the need to produce additional plastic waste from bottled water and prevents the risk of the plastic leaching into the water.

Remember, coffee, tea and juices are not replacements for water. These create additional health issues within our body plus force our body to digest them. Caffeine in our body creates stress unlike what most people confuse as energy. Coffee and teas (black teas used in most iced teas) create additional acid in the body.

Drinking pure filtered water is a crucial part in healing from and preventing chronic disease including cancer.
