Sole is a fully saturated solution of water and Original Himalayan Crystal Salt®. When the water can no longer dissolve more of the salt crystals, the water is saturated with salt. At this point, the salt crystals remain undissolved on the bottom of the jar, indicating that the solution has reached its saturation point. The water is now fully saturated with salt, creating Sole.

A Sole solution is a diluted quantity of the concentrated Sole in water. When the fully saturated Sole is added to water, it creates a Sole solution. Many of the wellness applications for Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® require a Sole solution.

Step 1: Fill a small, wide-mouthed glass jar with Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® Stones. Then, fill the jar with purified water (ideally spring or filtered), completely covering the salt stones with the water. Cover it with a cork lid. Let it sit overnight.

Step 2: Each morning, on an empty stomach, add one teaspoon of Sole to an eight-ounce glass of purified water using a wooden spoon each morning before eating or drinking any fluids.*

Step 3: In time, both the water and stones will need to be replenished. To ensure a fully saturated solution, there should always be stones undissolved at the bottom of the jar. Keep the container covered to prevent the water from evaporating. If salt crystals begin to form on the outside of the jar over time, this is normal and the result of natural evaporation. Simply wipe them away as needed. Because salt is a natural anti-microbial, Sole will not spoil.

Choose option that works best for your lifestyle:
‎
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.

‎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.

One teaspoon of Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® Sole on an empty stomach every morning provides you not only with the biophysical aspect of the salt, which is the frequency pattern of the crystal salt, but also the biochemical aspect of the salt, containing trace elements and minerals. The body will hold the frequency pattern of the Sole for 24 hours. Therefore, we only take the Sole once per day on an empty stomach.

The benefits of the Sole are best realized when taken on an empty stomach. You can also take Sole in the evening but you should keep this rhythm as the body maintains the frequency pattern of the salt for 24 hours.

Ideally, Natural Artesian water is best. Other options include spring water from your local vicinity (bring your bottles to the spring and fill them up!). If these two options are not available, please use filtered water. Do not use unfiltered tap water, mineral water, carbonated water or distilled water for making Sole as these can be chemically processed, which changes the water’s crystalline structure, resulting in energetic changes.

Yes, you can also take one teaspoon of the concentrated sole undiluted. However, you should drink a glass of water directly after taking the concentrated sole.

Sole is safe for children, just reduce the amount of Sole added to their water to half a teaspoon. It’s also safe for your pets! Use the same amount as you would for children.

No, the daily amount of Sole used is not dependent on body weight. Adults will use 1 teaspoon. of Sole each morning. The exception to this rule pertains to children. A few drops of Sole is sufficient for children under 55 lbs. Children over 55 lbs. can start on ¼ teaspoon of Sole and work up to 1 teaspoon as an adult.

No, there are not. In fact, it can be a daily part of your routine to optimize your overall health and well-being in conjunction with a healthy diet. One teaspoon of Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® Sole contains approximately 478 mg of sodium as well as other trace elements and minerals needed by your body. This very small amount of salt has an incredibly positive effect on your whole body. An exception to this rule is when the kidneys are not functioning properly. When in doubt, please consult with your doctor.

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.

There is not any evidence of accumulation of heavy metals occurring in the body by using our Sole or other Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® products.

Sole can be kept indefinitely. It will never go bad. It can be kept anywhere. It doesn’t have to be refrigerated nor kept in the dark. However, it is recommended to keep it in a closed, glass container to keep it free from dust and other airborne particles. Use a glass jar with a glass stop versus metal or plastic jars and lids so the harmful effects of the metal or plastic do not leach into the Sole.

We do not recommend using plastic or metal lids for your Sole jar. Plastic will alter the molecular structure of the salt, and metal will alter the biodynamic energy of the salt. Plus, salt corrodes metal.‎

If you do not have the cork lid that comes with Sole Jar Plus Stones or a glass or ceramic top for your jar, we recommend securing a clean cloth to the top of the jar with a rubber band to keep dust out.

One of the primary benefits of drinking the Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® Sole in the morning is the balancing of your body’s pH level. Coffee, black tea, and green tea are all acidic and known diuretics, depleting your body of hydration. By drinking these beverages in the morning, you will partly cancel out the benefit of the Sole. Therefore, please wait to drink coffee, green tea or black teas at least 60 minutes after consuming Sole.

Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® sole can be used as a complement to fasting routines. It provides elements, minerals and electrolytes that support the body during periods of reduced food intake. Be sure to drink sufficient amounts of water while fasting.

While the quality of Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® remains consistent across all grinds, the Stones are recommended for making Sole. Sole is a concentrated solution created by dissolving salt stones in purified water and serves a different purpose than Fine and Coarse Granulated used in cooking.

One serving of Sole contains approximately 478 mg of sodium, compared to about 2,292 mg in a teaspoon of Culinary Salt. Using Stones helps maintain this distinction. When used for Sole, smaller grinds, especially Fine Granulated, may leave undissolved particles floating in the solution, which can unintentionally increase sodium intake. These particles are not part of the Sole solution until fully absorbed by the water. Next, as salt is refined or ground, aspects of its natural structure are altered. Finer grinds do not maintain the same mineral balance or concentration found in whole Stones. This does not occur when using the Stones, which dissolve gradually and create a consistent, fully integrated Sole solution.

In addition, Fine Granulated Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® can be used to create a Sole solution for various wellness applications other than hydration support, including for bathing, inhalation, nose and eyes.*

Specific applications can be viewed in Water & Salt, The Essence of Life: The Healing Power of Nature. Please consult with your healthcare practitioner for personalized medical guidance and before making any changes to your health regimen.

Never. After an eye bath, you will find many bacteria have been washed from your eyes and are now in your solution. Therefore, only use the solution once.

Yes, you can. However, if there are open wounds, one should always prepare a fresh solution. It’s also possible to warm it to body temperature, 98.6°F.

Unless your doctor has told you to eliminate all salt from your diet, there’s no reason to have any apprehensions about taking a teaspoon of Sole each day. It’s mostly the sodium that doctors warn patients about. The average American adult consumes about 3,400 mg of sodium daily, derived from processed, poisonous salt. The USDA recommends no more than 2,300 mg per day of sodium. Based on these facts, most Americans are using excessive amounts of sodium.

One teaspoon of Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® Sole contains about 478 mg of unprocessed, natural sodium. The USDA also states that the body absolutely requires a minimum of 500 mg of sodium per day just to live. Sodium is fundamental to our very existence. In fact, we could not live without it. This makes Sole an ideal source of sodium to help achieve your daily need.

Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® is a natural product and subject to changes in concentration of its elements held within the crystalline structure. Not all minerals are represented in a 100% ionized form. These deposits represent minerals that were not included in the geometric matrix of the salt crystal. These minerals are in an inorganic form which fall to the bottom of the container when the salt crystal dissolves. The deposits are totally harmless.

Always follow guidance from your healthcare provider. Warm bathwater can create a warming, relaxing effect on the body. A bath using Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® Sole solution offers a similar bathing experience.
