Sole {pronounced sol-ay} is water that has been saturated for at least 24 hours in high quality salt. What it creates is a highly mineralized, electrolyte dense water concentration that you can then drink a teaspoon of daily to detoxify and revitalize the body. I'm just making my first batch today and am excited to start having this elixir daily!
3 health promoting reasons I'm incorporating Sole into my morning routine:
- High mineral content :: Unfortunately, due to soil depletion most of us are deficient in important minerals and supplementing is a fantastic way to make sure you're getting enough. The body uses minerals to perform many different functions - some examples are; build strong bones and teeth, nerve function, helps the body to create certain hormones and supports healthy metabolism function. Sole can supply the body with 84 essential minerals.
- Skin health :: Minerals such as zinc, iodine and sulphur help to keep our skin healthy and resilient. Getting a nice dose of this everyday can help you to combat acne and other skin imbalances or simply help you maintain healthy skin.
- Improves sleep quality :: Many people have a tough time sleeping and one common reason is mineral deficiency. When I work with clients I often recommend supplementing with magnesium for a better sleep. Sole water provides magnesium as well as other other important trace minerals to help your body calm and relax for a restful nights sleep.
How to make Sole:
1. Purchase high quality sea salt such as Celtic or Himalayan. I bough this chunky Himalayan Sea Salt kit, which is great because it comes with directions and a container to make it in!
2. Fill a glass container with 1/4 sea salt and the rest filtered water. Give it a shake. {Do not use metal as part of your container as it will de-ionize the salt}
3. Leave for 24 hours.
4. The Sole will last indefinitely at room temperature due to it's natural anti-bacterial properties.
To Use:
Add 1 tsp of Sole to a glass of water each morning before eating or drinking anything.
