Let’s talk about Solé (pronounced Solay)
Most of us live with more stress than is healthy, and chronic stress can lead to adrenal dysfunction. That state often leaves you feeling both wired and exhausted. Solé is an easy, natural practice you can add to your routine to support adrenal health and help replenish minerals that stress can deplete.
What is solé?
Solé is simply a saturated saltwater solution made from unrefined, mineral-rich salt such as Himalayan, Celtic, or natural sea salt.
How to make it
Fill a glass jar about one-quarter full of high-quality salt, then top it up with filtered water. Cover the jar (a plastic lid is fine) and let it sit at room temperature overnight. The water should become saturated; you’ll know it’s ready when a small amount of undissolved salt remains on the bottom. If all the salt dissolves, add more salt and check again the next day.
How to use it
Add one teaspoon of solé to a glass of water and drink it in the morning on an empty stomach.
Benefits of solé
Contrary to common myths, quality salt provides important minerals and can be beneficial when used appropriately. Solé offers several potential benefits:
- Packed with trace minerals that support overall health
- Supports natural detoxification processes
- Helps maintain hydration by supporting electrolyte balance
- Can be calming and supportive for stressed adrenals
Why it helps adrenal function
When adrenal function is impaired, hormone balance can shift, including aldosterone, which helps regulate sodium and potassium levels and maintains cellular fluid balance and blood pressure. Disruption in this system can lead to salt cravings. A teaspoon of solé in morning water can help restore electrolyte balance and gently replenish minerals that stress may have depleted.
If you try solé, observe how you feel and adjust as needed. If you have medical conditions or take medications that affect electrolyte balance or blood pressure, consult your healthcare provider before adding solé to your routine.
