Sol\u00e9 water, a tonic made with minimally processed salt, is a super-hydrating remedy you can make in less than five minutes. Add a teaspoon to your morning glass of water to rehydrate after a night's rest, or try it after a workout to help replenish lost electrolytes.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

What is sol\u00e9?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sol\u00e9 (pronounced so-lay) is a mineral tonic made by dissolving unrefined salt into water. It was introduced by the book Water and Salt: The Essence of Life<\/em><\/a>. Because it contains salt and trace amounts of other electrolytes, it functions similarly to electrolyte drinks that people take to replenish lost minerals and rehydrate the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You make sol\u00e9 by dissolving natural, minimally processed salt into water until the water becomes fully saturated and cannot absorb more. Then, you serve the tonic by mixing a teaspoon of the liquid into your morning glass of water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While most of its advocates take it in the morning, you can also use sol\u00e9 to help rehydrate the body after exercise or on hot days to replace the water and electrolytes lost in sweat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the benefits?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some of sol\u00e9's most ardent advocates claim that drinking the tonic provides many benefits - from better sleep and more energy to fewer allergies and better mood; however, there's no research to support these claims directly. Rather, most of these benefits are anecdotal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know that salt performs a wide variety of functions in the human body and is essential for health when taken in appropriate amounts. Accordingly, drinking sol\u00e9 or salting your foods to taste can help support systemic wellness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
