What is a saltwater flush? 💧💧💧
A saltwater flush involves drinking a mixture of warm water mixed with non-iodized salt and is used to cleanse your colon, treat chronic constipation, and help detox your body.
But be aware, drinking salt and warm water has a laxative effect! Start with a pinch of salt and work your way up from there. Happy detoxing!
