Tmi question... I was very constipated, a laxative didn't work so I tried salt water....?

Question

I drank 16 ounces with 2 tsp of kosher salt. I've been having extremely watery diarrhea for the past few hours. When can I expect this to stop?!

Answer 1

OTHER THINGS REMAINING THE SAME, There are three conditions;  they are Isotonic, Hypertonic and Hypotonic.   Understand the first you will understand the rest:, with a general  understanding that  as per  the principles of Osmosis the water flows from a higher concentration to a lower concentration.

Isotonic  is a solution that has the same concentration of disolved particles as the solution with which it is compared. Here, water enters and leave the cells in equal amounts and the cell remains unchanged.  This applies with the extracellular and intracellular water retention. As I had mentioned in some other answer,  a balance of this is something like the amount of water consumed should be exactly equal to the amount of water vapourised for creating the amount of salt consumed.  This I believe is balanced way of salt consumption.  Anything other than this would be an imbalance of salt.



Hypertonic :  The extra cellular region of the body  when having more  concentration of the salt;  the water is expelled from the body due to principles of osmosis.

Here the water consumed by the person has more salt in it.

Hypotonic:  When the Intra Cellular regions has more concentrations of salt ; the water from extra cellular regions enter the intra cellular regions through principles of reverse osmosis due to pressure  and results in water retention in the body and hence obesity takes place due to water retention.  

          In the situation in which the questioner has taken 16 ounces of Kosher salt abruptly, the Hypertonic action has taken place in the body and suddenly the water started flowing out from the intra cellular region to extra cellular region and excess water flowed out in the form of diarrhea.

          In addition laxatives were also used which had already made the internal linings of the stomach and intestines slippery and water or anything  flowing out through the anal o*****e has already become an  arranged circumstance.  

       If I had been in the place of the experimenter above, I would have stopped the diarrhea instantly by the following methods.

1.   Drink as much plain water as possible which will dilute the saturated salt and water mixture earlier taken by the individual and reverse  the osmosis process.

                   or

2.   Take warm gruel (rice with water)  without Salt.  

                   or

3.  Take one cup of hot and strong tea.  

                   or

4.  Take three globules of Aloes at 30 potency.

                   or

5.   Take water in spoonfuls at fixed intervals.

                   or

6.   Take three globules of  Camphor30 or Croton Tig 30.

      Medicines mentioned above to be taken after consultation with doctor.  

      There is a system called Kunjar in Yogic Kriyas.  Prepare water for this in the night by heating the water and putting a very very small piece of alum in it which will separate hard water to soft one.  Seive the water and leave for cooling.  By 3a.m. in the morning the water will neither warm nor cold.  Put a pinch of salt in it.  Getting up at Brahma Muhurtha (3 A.M.) in the morning and squating in the posture of a crow (Kakasan), The water is drank glass after glass upto 8 glasses or more, thereafter, standing up and bending at 45 degree angle placing  the left hand pressed to the navel and using middle three fingers of right hand touch the interior outer portion of the tongue to and frow which will bring out the whole water in the stomach in a thistle.  This should be done under supervision of a teacher.  This precipitates a lot of sweat, the first stools will be lose and next on would be normal, there would be plenty of urine, all toxins and dirts accumulated in the stomach would be cleaned.  This gives immediate relief from headaches, acidity and related ailments, cleans the stomach, food intake to be regulated thereafter to Satvik. This is repeated according to teachers(Guru's) advice. The reason I mentioned it here is that in this case, though there will be lose motion, it will stop on its own because the water is not saturated with salt as in the earlier case in point.  

       A very beautiful and common example of this is found in those who have hypertension or BP.  The moment a person is diangosed having BP, there is a tendency to reduce salt intake and increase the water intake.  This creates a great imbalance of salt in the body, (I  cure it by salt itself-NATRUM MUR 30which probably regulates the mechanism to increased speed or decreased speed according to requirement. And therefore Natrum Mur is sutitable for three conditions High BP, Low BP, Nomal BP)  and consequently as per the principles illustrated above, water is retained in the body and the subject becomes obese and that creates more anxiety and additions of medicines and decrease in salt and increase in water intake further adding the weight by way of water retention.  

I hope this helps.

Answer 2

I would try to drink water, one spoonful every five minutes and you should be fine after 2/3 hours.Good luck (lukewarm water)

Answer 3

In a couple of hours. Next time you are constipated try eating canned peaches and/or drinking apple cider or juice.

If you get a urinary infection from the diarrhea, drink a lot of cranberry juice. The real stuff that makes your face turn inside out, NOT the sugared mix.

Answer 4

What you did is basically a salt water flush - which is an oral e***a - for lack of a better description. And, as just a point of advice, even though detoxing and cleanses can be very beneficial, it would be prudent to do them under the care of a natural health professional - they can carry risks. It's a common misconception that just because something is 'natural' that it is safe.

Anyway, within 24 hours you SHOULD be over the effects, although you could still experience some nausea, so be careful what you eat - eat light - fruit juices and water are very good during flushes - especially water with a bit of lemon.

In the future, have some aloe capsules on hand. They are a much safer way to deal with constipation - and much much more gentle.

Hope this helps :)
