Of course, use your own discernment... If taking in the amount of natural salt as suggested here doesn't resonate well with your intuition, don't do it.
1/ One-Week Salt Water Cleanse 2/ One-Day Gallbladder and Liver Cleanse 3/ Common Cold Cure One-Week Salt Water Cleanse
Saltwater cleansing practice purifies the digestive system and draws impurities out of organs inside the body. Salt-water cleanses may be used to treat common colds, high blood pressure (it's important to have the natural salt in this situation), digestive ailments, fever and degenerative related ailments.
Natural Salt Crystal: Smithsonian Institute Use non-purified salt for salt water cleansing.
We recommend this inner body cleanse prior to spiritual consultations, meditation groups and retreats.
Before starting a new healing program, taking a new herb/vitamin, fasting or changing diet, you need to rid your body of built-up toxins and schlock. Getting rid of the old stuff, will make way for the new program to take effect. How else will you know that a healing program is working if you are just putting new things on top of the old?
NOTE: persons with very advanced forms of ulcer, appendicitis, intestinal tuberculosis, or cancer are recommended not to practice this technique.
Prior to Cleanse If you have problems with constipation, please clean your bowls with a safe herbal laxative for one or two days before this cleanse.
During the Cleanse Avoid alcohol, spicy foods, fried foods and anything rich or heavy during this week of cleansing. You will take your digestive tract back to its childhood state. Feel what would be best to feed a small child and you will know what to eat.
Recipe
2 Quarts (2 Liters) Water - boil to tea drinking temperature 1 Level Tablespoon Natural Salt - from sea or ground Juice from a Lime/Lemon - if required to offset the taste 16oz (1/2 Liter) Serving Cup An Alarm Clock - set to sunrise for 7 days Extra Toilet Paper :)
Salt from a natural source is better for cleaning the body than iodized salt. Sea salt is fine, evaporated salt is fine, and ground-based salt is fine.
YES!!! You will drink 2 Quarts (2 Liters) in one sitting.
The Daily Program
The organs of the body have open channels in the early morning hours between 5AM and 7AM. This is the best time to drink salt water and a common time in most spiritual practices to perform a morning ritual.
Face the four directions: North, South, East and West.
East for Water West for Earth South for Fire, and North for Air
Ask for blessings, purity, strength and anything you might need. Drink the hot salt water facing the four directions until finished.
When you drink in each direction, feel how the associated element effects your life. Example: Water - "Thank you water. Biological life comes from water, thank you. Humans come from water, thank you. I came from the water of my mother's womb, thank you. I relax in the surf at the beach, thank you. I drink this yummy salt water to heal my body, thank you..."
If you find yourself with a full stomach, even after the first glass, the following exercises will help. The idea is to get the water out of your stomach and into your intestines.
Exercise 1 - Rub your stomach with the palm of right your hand clockwise 21 times and counter clockwise 13 times.
Exercise 2 - Raise your arms over your head (still standing) and sway them left to right.
Exercise 3 - Spread your feet shoulder width apart and spin your body at the waist from left to right. Let your arms swing with your body. Feel the stretch in your lower back and abdomen.
Exercise 4 - With knees and feet together, bend your knees and squat. Reach with your left hand and touch the tip of your index finger to the outside of your right foot. Now try to do both together with your head facing somewhat forward. You should find your left elbow touch the outside of your right knee when you're in the full squat position. This exercise is of course a little (sic) difficult. If too difficult try something else.
Exercise 5 - Doing the Hatha Yoga Cobra Position is also good as are other exercises that get the intestines stimulated.
What to Expect
As with any cleansing program, reactions vary from people to people. You may take more than one hour to drink this much saltwater. After a little practice, most people can drink the water in 30 to 45 minutes. Some people throw up the first glass; keep trying and you'll be glad you did.
You should expect to make trips to the toilet throughout the morning. Some people finish cleaning their bowels in a couple of hours. It may take a little longer during the first few days.
One thing that is very common, is to have LOTS of additional energy and a great appetite. This too may take a couple of days.
Plan to take it easy on the first few days, especially if you have never done any kind of cleansing before (headaches commonly occur during detoxification.) Very soon you will be amazed at the effects on your energy, mood and emotions. Physical cleaning is often connected to a deeper more psychological and spiritual cleaning.
You will be taking your digestive track back to its childhood state and this can be serious work. Eat light during the cleanse and do not drink alcohol. When you stop cleansing, watch what you eat and bring your body back to your normal diet slowly.
After the first 7 days, you may choose to continue. During the second week, drink every second day, the third week, drink every third day, the forth week, drink every fourth... until you drink salt water one time in one week for the rest of your life. Or... whenever you feel you need a cleansing.
People over 25 years of age can drink salt water once per week as a laxative and to keep the immune system up to par.

You will start your cleanse at 2pm and finish by late morning of the following day. Make sure your bowels are clean. If you need, take a natural bowel cleaner (i.e. senna or garcinia) the day before this cleanse.
Liver Cleansing will assist these important liver functions.

What Benefits to Expect from Gallbladder & Liver Cleansing
Of course, you may feel nauseous drinking saltwater and the oil/juice mixture (we think it taste like Italian Salad Dressing.) The saltwater will get your bowels moving and open your bile ducts to prevent any pain. You may feel a train of stones traveling along the bile ducts like marbles. See the detailed picture below for help with visualization while you are cleaning.
Expect diarrhea in the morning. Count your stones. They will look like green and tan peas (there are plenty of pictures on the internet if you want to look for them, but we'll spare you here.) The cholesterol inside makes them float. You may also have crystals, sand, and cloudy white residue; all this is usual.
You may repeat this cleanse every two weeks. Don't cleanse while ill or recovering from illness.
Tips for good Gallbladder health
Eat light Avoid Fat Meat Avoid Deep Fried Food Avoid Spicy Food Avoid Heavy Milk products

Common Cold Cure
Looking for a home remedy for a head cold? Hot feet and Cold socks are just the cure you need for relief from a common cold.
When you are ready to go to bed for the night, try this remedy.
WET SOCKS RECIPE* Nylon Socks: socks like dad wears to go to the office Cotton Socks: athletic socks Wool Socks: big, fluffy, warm, ski socks are perfect
*The socks you chose should come to the bottom of your calf but not cut off your circulation. They can be snug, but if they leave an impression on your skin after removal they are too tight. Stretch out the socks so the fit comfortably. The socks pictured above are not good examples, but they looked pretty ;-)
WET SOCKS PROCEDURE Step 1: Prepare for bed.
Step 2 (Optional): Soak your feet in a bucket of hot water for 10 minutes.
Step 3: Remove your feet from the hot water, soak nylon socks in cold water, wring them out so they are not dripping and put them on your feet.
Step 4: Cover the nylon socks with your cotton socks.
Step 5: Cover the cotton socks with your wool socks.
Step 6: Good to bed and get some sleep.
When you put all the socks on your feet you should go to sleep. When you sleep, your body will start the 'cook' the wet socks (and your cold) and dry them out. If you can't get to sleep, don't lay in bed with cold socks on your feet (this will not help your cold).
The next morning your cold will be gone. Congratulations! If you feel sniffles by the end of the day, perform the procedure each night until you feel relief.
