How to Make Sole Water
Drinking a solution of concentrated salt water may sound intimidating, but just wait until you hear the why behind such an endeavor. People who practice fasting and/or live a ketogenic lifestyle are quickly adopting the Sole practice and reaping the benefits. Just a spoonful of the brine a day will replenish the body with electrolytes and essential minerals.
Benefits
Maintaining a proper level of electrolytes has many benefits for overall health. Here are just a few of the benefits people all over the world are enjoying with Sole Water.
- Hydration: Electrolytes help to make the most of the water in your body and keep you properly hydrated.
- Battles fatigue and supports energy: For people fasting, a daily salt solution is essential. Without replenishing electrolytes fasting can cause quick fatigue. Sole Water is a wonderful solution for optimal function and energy when fasting.
- Remedy for muscle cramping: Salt has been a remedy for muscle cramping for centuries. Adding Sole water to your daily workout routine can help you avoid them altogether.
- Improved digestion: Unrefined salt can help the intestinal tract and liver with secretion improving digestive health and function.
Why Sole Water?
You may be wondering why not just add a teaspoon of unrefined salt to a glass for some quick electrolytes? Simply adding a bit of salt to water could be an easy quick fix and we definitely recommend it if that is your only option. However, Sole Water is a solution that gives you the perfect amount of sodium with no guesswork involved, and our Ancient Sea Salt Crystals make that even more simple.
Fasting and keto are practices that will significantly decrease electrolytes. It is absolutely essential that vital minerals and electrolytes be replenished. Sole Water makes it easy. Water can only absorb 26% of sodium chloride in a solution. A fully saturated container of water makes each spoonful of the magic elixir the perfect amount to help replenish the body with electrolytes, resulting in optimal function.
The Easiest DIY You’ll Ever Try
Ok so let’s stop talking about it and do it already.
To make Sole Water:
- Step 1 - Put a handful of Ancient Sea Salt crystals into a container with a lid.
- Step 2 - Cover the sea salt crystals with water. (We suggest purified or spring water.)
- Step 3 - Put the lid on. (Preferably NOT a metal lid since metal will oxidize with water and salt.)
- Step 4 - Let sit for 24 hours. (To be fully saturated you want to see some salt remaining on the bottom of the jar. If all the salt has fully dissolved, add more salt. Let sit for another hour. Leftover salt indicates that the solution is fully saturated and at 26% sodium capacity.)
To take Sole Water:
- Add 1 spoonful (approximately 1 tsp) of sole water into your first morning glass of water and stay salty all day long!

I am wondering about the other essential minerals present in sole water. Is there a way to know how much magnesium and potassium is in it? I’m eating the “carnivore” way, and am trying to understand if I need to take additional mineral supplements, or if the sole water added to my beverages throughout the day would be sufficient.

Hi Robin, Thanks for your question. You can find a full mineral analysis of Real Salt on our website here: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0031/8606/5475/files/Real-Salt-Elemental-Analysis-Summary-Page.pdf The figures in this mineral analysis are based on a ¼ teaspoon serving size of Real Salt. A teaspoon of Sole Water is about 26% salt, so it contains a little less than a serving of Real Salt. I hope that’s helpful.
Can I use the big salt rocks that I bought from you to make the sole water?

Hi Lindy, if you’re asking if you can use our Ancient Sea Salt Crystals to make Sole Water, then yes, those are perfect! But if you are asking about some of the other larger salt rocks we sell for animals, then that might not be the best idea because they are processed differently than our food-grade salt. Hope this helps!
Hi. I made my sole 2 months ago. There are salt deposits forming in outside of jar. Is this normal. Also I opened jar today and it smells a little fishy. Bottom of jar is like a red cloudy substance. Is this normal or is it bad? Does it go bad?

Hi there! Thanks for reaching out with your questions—we’re happy to help!
It’s normal for a little salt to build up on the outside of the jar over time. This happens when water evaporates and leaves some salt behind.
If you’re noticing a fishy smell or a cloudy red substance, it could mean the sole was contaminated or that something grew in it. A properly made sole using clean water and pure salt should smell salty and stay clear. While salt doesn’t go bad, outside factors like bacteria or impurities can affect the mixture.
To be safe, we recommend throwing this batch out and starting fresh. Make sure to use a clean jar, and good-quality water.
I need to use the fine salt directly in a cup of water because of my busy routine outside home. Can you please suggest what is the amount of fine salt to be used in 500mL of water without waiting the 24h of resting? thank you

Hi Aline, thanks for your question. To make sole water from 500ml of water, you’d typically use about 2 ½ Tbsp. of fine Real Salt. However, true sole water requires a fully saturated solution, which requires 24 hours to let the salt fully dissolve. For a quick electrolyte boost on the go, try adding 1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon of salt to your water for a convenient alternative. Hope this helps!
