Balancing electrolytes

3. SEA SALT ENEMA. In order to nourish your colon with electrolytes, use 1 teaspoon of Celtic Sea Salt per quart of water. To assure adequate levels of electrolytes in your body, have a hair tissue mineral analysis (HTMA) done seasonally.

Tap water is commonly used for adults but should not be used for infants because of the danger of electrolyte imbalance. (Electrolytes are substances that conduct electric current in the body fluids. Proper balance is essential for sustaining life.) The colon absorbs water, and repeated tap water enemas can cause cardiovascular overload and electrolyte imbalance. Similarly, repeated saline enemas can cause increased absorption of fluid and electrolytes into the bloodstream, resulting in overload. Individuals receiving frequent enemas should be observed for overload symptoms that include dizziness, sweating, or vomiting.
