How to Make Sole, Health Research, FAQs and More
The water in your jar has now transformed into “SOLE” (so-lay).
Keep the jar covered to avoid evaporation and dust. Don’t use metallic lids.
No special storage is needed. Simply keep the Sole jar on your kitchen counter for convenience and as a perpetual reminder!
Original Himalayan Crystal Stones should always be visible in the jar. Add new Stones before they have fully dissolved. Add new water as needed, and let sit for 24 hours each time to ensure complete saturation before next use.
When Original Himalayan Crystal Stones are dissolved in spring water, the solution created is called Sole. The word Sole is derived from the Latin word for sun "sol", as it is the liquid materialization of sunlight. Sole means "liquid sunlight" or "liquid light energy."
Now, don’t be alarmed! You’re not drinking a huge glass of salt water!
Rather, all you do is add one teaspoon of the Sole to 8 ounces of pure, filtered water in the morning.
Add 1 teaspoon of Sole to an 8-ounce glass of your preferred drinking water.
Drink each morning on an empty stomach and then wait 30 minutes before eating.
Add 1 teaspoon of Sole to 1 quart of your preferred drinking water and drink it throughout the day.
If, with either Option, the cleansing effect is too intense for you, simply reduce the amount of Sole to a couple of drops.
Sole is safe for children just reduce the amount of Sole added to their water to half a teaspoon.
It’s also safe for your pets! Use the same amount as you would for children.
When water and Original Himalayan Crystal Stones for Sole combine, the two individual ions of sodium and chloride, plus the additional ions from the other 82 minerals which are found in the salt’s crystalline structure, are released into the water creating a solution of concentrated mineral energy.
When you add Sole to your 8 ounces of water and drink, these ions – or electrical charges – are immediately absorbed, charging your body with energy.
The Sole also improves the structure of the 8 ounces of water you add it to. So that when you drink that water your body absorbs up to double the amount of water into your cells.
As a side note, did you know it is estimated that our body is lucky to absorb up to 20% of most US tap waters and that waters completely devoid of any minerals are extremely hard for our cells to absorb. That is why people who drink large amounts of poor structured or mineral less waters can still be dehydrated!
Like everything in life quality is often more important than quantity – and water is no different.
1. The first clinical study was conducted at the University of Graz, Austria in 2001, and is detailed in the book, Water & Salt, The Essence of Life.
Participants who drank water mixed with our Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® Sole enjoyed significant positive changes in respiratory, circulatory, organ, connective tissue, and nervous system functions.
Patients also reported increases in quality of sleep, energy, and concentration levels, brain activity, weight loss, enhanced consciousness, and noticeable hair and nail growth.
2. The second study was conducted in 2007, by Fenestra Research Labs in Las Vegas, Nevada, to test the body’s reaction to the ingestion of common sea salt versus the ingestion of Original Himalayan Crystal Salt. The purpose of this study was to evaluate Original Himalayan Crystal Salt as a safe and effective all-natural mineral supplement.
A double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study involved 70 participants over 30-days.
Participants were randomly divided into two groups. One group was given Original Himalayan Crystal Salt in the form of Sole, and the other was given sea salt, also in the form of sole. Neither group was allowed to take any other drink, vitamin, supplements or food for 30 minutes after drinking the Sole.
An Optimal Wellness Analysis was performed on all participants prior to the start of the study, at 14-days and again at 30-days.
The Optimal Wellness Analyzer is an analytical system that applies cutting edge science to evaluate health at the cellular level. An analysis of mineralization, hydration and oxygenation was conducted.
At the start of this study, all 70 participants were in the red (danger) zone, indicating at least 35% away from normal Wellness numbers in Mineralization, Oxidative Stress Indicators, and Hydration.
Original Himalayan Crystal Salt was shown to be a highly effective product for the normalizing of mineralization in the human body. This was demonstrated by:
✓ Helping to stabilize pH for a healthier acid-alkaline balance
✓ Helping to stabilize oxidative stress
✓ Hydration indicators showed an average of ten percent increase
✓ Plus, Original Himalayan Crystal Salt has not demonstrated any adverse side effects.
The American Heart Association recommends no more than 2,300mg per day for most adults.
You’ll be happy to know that 1 teaspoon of Sole has only 478mg of sodium.
But did you know that 1 teaspoon of regular table salt has 2,300mg? That’s your entire limit! Please, never take a teaspoon of regular salt and stir it into a glass of water. It’s definitely not the same as a teaspoon of Sole!
Not only is the sodium content dangerously high, it’s also missing the 82 additional minerals that make Sole from Original Himalayan Crystal Stones so beneficial and health-positive.
The Crystal Stones are extracted from the mine by hand according to time honored tradition without the use of mechanical devices or explosives.
Next, it is cleaned, hand-sorted, and hand-packed locally near the Himalayas. This natural method ensures that the original vibration, the inherent energy and ALL 84 minerals remain in perfect crystalline form essential for optimal bio-availability.
Natural Health International’s exclusive partnership with the true source of Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® results in the creation and support of local industry and the export of finished goods. Honoring the local community this way results in an investment in the community that is 5-times bigger than that from other companies who export salt as a commodity.

Q: Is the amount of Sole I use daily dependent on my body weight?
A: No, the daily amount of Sole used is not dependent on body weight. Adults will use 1 teaspoon. of Sole each morning. The exception to this rule pertains to children. A few drops of Sole is sufficient for children under 55 lbs. Children over 55 lbs. can start on ¼ teaspoon of Sole and work up to 1 teaspoon as an adult.
Q: Do coffee, black teas, green tea or herbal teas have a negative impact on using Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® Sole?
A: One of the primary benefits of drinking the Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® Sole in the morning is the balancing of your body’s pH level. Coffee, black tea, and green tea are all acidic and known diuretics, depleting your body of hydration. By drinking these beverages in the morning, you will partly cancel out the benefit of the Sole. Therefore, please wait to drink coffee, green tea, or black teas at least 60 minutes after consuming Sole.
Q: Can I also take the one teaspoon of Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® Sole concentrate undiluted, without adding it to a glass of water?
A: Yes, you can also take one teaspoon of the concentrated sole undiluted. However, you should drink a glass of water directly after taking the concentrated sole.
Q: Can I make Sole using the Fine/Coarse Granulated Salt?
A: While the quality of the Original Himalayan Crystal Salt remains the same no matter what grind you choose, it is recommended that you use the stones for making Sole. The reason for this is that the more you refine (read: grind) salt, the more information you lose. With information lost, you are not receiving the full benefits that you would using the Stones to make your Sole because the finer ground salts do not have the same high concentration levels of the 84 trace minerals as the Stones. Also, with the smaller grinds of salt, especially Fine Granulated, there is a chance of floating salt particles in your Sole, thereby increasing your daily salt intake. These particles are also not part of the Sole solution as they have not been absorbed by the water yet. This is not the case when using the Stones.
If you do prefer using the Fine or Coarse Granulated to make Sole, it is advised that you use an extremely wide mouth glass jar. Be sure to mark the jar clearly "DO NOT STIR" so as not to stir up salt particles before taking your Sole. Fill the jar a third of the way with the salt and then fill up with a good quality water. Let sit 8 hours or overnight before use.
Q: What water should I use for making Sole?
A: Ideally, Natural Artesian water is best. Other options include spring water from your local vicinity (bring your bottles to the spring and fill them up!). If these two options are not available, please use filtered water. Do not use unfiltered tap water, mineral water, carbonated water or distilled water for making Sole as these can be chemically processed, which changes the water’s crystalline structure, resulting in energetic changes.
Q: Can I take more than one teaspoon of Sole a day?
A: One teaspoon of Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® Sole on an empty stomach every morning provides you not only with the biophysical aspect of the salt, which is the frequency pattern of the crystal salt, but also the biochemical aspect of the salt, containing sufficient minerals and trace elements. The body will hold the frequency pattern of the crystal salt sole for 24 hours. Therefore, we only take the sole once per day on an empty stomach.
Q: Can I drink the Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® Sole in the evening instead of in the morning?
A: The benefits of the Sole therapy are best realized when taken on an empty stomach. You can also do the Sole therapy in the evening but you should keep this rhythm as the body maintains the frequency pattern of the salt for 24 hours.
Q: Can I give Sole to my children?
A: Yes, a few drops of Sole is sufficient for children under 55 lbs. Children over 55 lbs. can start on ¼ teaspoon of Sole and work up to 1 teaspoon as an adult.
Q: Can sole also be given to animals?
A: Just as with humans, the natural crystal salt will have its positive effect on the animal body. A few drops of Sole in your pet's food will increase the vitality and help strengthen the immune system of your pet or animal.
Q: Can I use the Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® Sole therapy along with my fasting?
A: The Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® Sole therapy is a good complement to fasting. It helps to eliminate the toxins and also provides vitality and support to your body as it labors to rid itself of toxins. Just be sure to drink sufficient amounts of water while fasting.
Q: Are there any negative side-effects when drinking Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® Sole regularly over a long period?
A: No, there are not. In fact, it can be a daily part of your routine to optimize your overall health and well-being in conjunction with a healthy diet. One teaspoon of Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® Sole contains approximately 478mg of sodium as well as other trace minerals needed by your body. This very small amount of salt has an incredibly positive effect on your whole body. An exception to this rule is when the kidneys are not functioning properly. When in doubt, please consult with your doctor.
Q: I was advised to be on a low sodium diet, can I still use Sole or the Original Himalayan Crystal Salts?
A: The RDA for sodium is 2,300 mg per day. This is the amount that the human body needs for normal bodily functions. The average American consumes 3,400 mg of sodium, with most of this coming from processed foods. 1 teaspoon of Sole contains only 478 mg of sodium, less than 1/4 of the recommended daily allowance and therefore is beneficial as part of your low sodium requirements. The best way to reduce your sodium intake is to avoid processed foods.
Q: Is it safe to take Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® Sole when pregnant?
A: Unless your doctor has told you to eliminate all salt from your diet, there’s no reason to have any apprehensions about taking a teaspoon of Sole each day. It’s mostly the sodium that doctors warn patients about. The average American adult consumes about 3,400mg of sodium daily, derived from processed, poisonous salt. The USDA recommends no more than 2,300mg per day of sodium. Based on these facts, most Americans are using excessive amounts of sodium.
One teaspoon of Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® Sole contains about 478mg of unprocessed, natural sodium. The USDA also states that the body absolutely requires a minimum of 500mg of sodium per day just to live. Sodium is fundamental to our very existence. In fact, we could not live without it. This makes Sole an ideal source of sodium to help achieve your daily need.
Q: Does Sole contain any heavy metals, such as mercury, arsenic, lead, aluminum, etc.?
A: Unless your doctor has told you to eliminate all salt from your diet, there’s no reason to have any apprehensions about taking a teaspoon of Sole each day. It’s mostly the sodium that doctors warn patients about. The average American adult consumes about 3,400mg of sodium daily, derived from processed, poisonous salt. The USDA recommends no more than 2,300mg per day of sodium. Based on these facts, most Americans are using excessive amounts of sodium.
There is not any evidence of accumulation of heavy metals occurring in the body by using our Original Himalayan Crystal Salt or Sole.
Q: Can the Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® Sole solution go bad? How should it be stored?
A: Sole can be kept indefinitely. It will never go bad. It can be kept anywhere. It doesn’t have to be refrigerated nor kept in the dark. However, it is recommended to keep it in a closed, glass container to keep it free from dust and other airborne particles. Use a glass jar with a glass stop versus metal or plastic jars and lids so the harmful effects of the metal or plastic do not leach into the Sole.
Q: It says not to let plastic come into contact with my Original Himalayan Crystal Salt®. What kind of lid should I use for my Sole jar?
A: We do not recommend using plastic or metal lids for your sole jar. Plastic will alter the molecular structure of the salt, and metal will alter the biodynamic energy of the salt. Plus, salt corrodes metal.
If you do not have a glass or ceramic top for your jar, we recommend securing a clean cloth to the top of the jar with a rubber band to keep dust out.
Q: One can often find reddish deposits at the bottom of the container of the concentrated Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® Sole solution. What is this?
A: Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® is a natural product and subject to changes in concentration of its elements held within the crystalline structure. Not all minerals are represented in a 100% ionized form. These deposits represent minerals that were not included in the geometric matrix of the salt crystal. These minerals are in an inorganic form which fall to the bottom of the container when the salt crystal dissolves. The deposits are totally harmless.
Q: Can I use the same Sole solution for washing my eyes more than one time?
A: Never. After an eye bath, you will find many bacteria have been washed from your eyes and are now in your solution. Therefore, only use the solution once.
Q: Can I use a higher concentration of Original Himalayan Crystal Salt® Sole solution for frequent hand and foot bathing?
A: Yes, you can. However, if there are open wounds, one should always prepare a fresh solution. It’s also possible to warm it to body temperature, 98.6 F.
Q: I have very severe varicose veins and have been told to avoid warm bathing. Does this also apply to crystal salt bathing?
A: By all means, you should adhere to your doctor’s recommendation. Warm bathwater causes vascular expansion. This is also the case with a crystal salt bath.
