Sea salt, also known as bay salt, is obtained by evaporation of the sea-water and is different from table salt not only in appearance but in composition as well since it is unprocessed and untreated. As compared to table salt which contains only sodium and chloride due to processing, sea salt is a rich source of a number of essential minerals like potassium, sulfur, calcium and magnesium due to which it has all the attributes of a natural colon cleanser.

The relationship between sea salt and colon cleansing was established during the ancient Egyptian civilization when it was incorporated in various recipes in form of a natural colon cleanser. As a colon cleanser, sea salt is not only effective but also convenient compared to other natural colon cleansing since it is capable of dislodging the toxic waste in the colon and sterilizing it against the harmful parasites which are responsible for ailments like appendicitis, headaches and heart diseases.

Being a colon cleanser, two teaspoonfuls of sea salt are dissolved in warm water and imbibed early in the morning on an empty stomach after which the individual should perform a few abdominal stretches or a stomach massage so as to encourage bowel movements. This routine should be continued for a week or even three to four weeks in case the colon is badly clogged so that all the poisonous toxins, the fecal build-up and hard deposits are dislodged and eliminated as waste products from the body.

Sea salt can also be used as a natural colon cleanser in form of a sea salt diet which is commonly referred to as a Master Cleanser diet or a Lemonade diet. This diet is a liquid diet which is prepared from two tablespoonfuls of organic Grade B maple syrup, two tablespoonfuls of fresh lemon juice, 1/10th teaspoonful of cayenne pepper powder and 10 ounces of distilled water. Since this solution is known to have the same gravity as that of blood, it passes through the gastrointestinal tract very rapidly and causes bowel movements within the next 4-6 hours. Therefore, a Master colon cleanser diet should be undertaken only when the bathroom is in close proximity and available for regular use.

Although sea salt is more popular as a gourmet salt all over the world its historic use as a natural colon cleanser has been quite widespread and well accepted. A sea salt colon cleanser is particularly effective against the mucoid plaque which is a mixture of saturated fats, refined and processed food, artificial additives, excess proteins and hazardous chemicals. When the mucoid plaque sticks to the walls of the colon it makes the opening of the colon very small which in turn causes constipation. In addition a blocked colon causes an increase in the body weight of the individual and also makes the individual lethargic and devoid of energy. The successful use of the sea salt colon cleansing removes the mucoid plaque completely which not only keeps the opening of the colon large but also keeps the individual energetic and healthy.
