Warm Mineral Water (Bedtime Hydration Drink)

This is not a cure, but a gentle hydration drink sometimes used to support relaxation and digestion.

Description

This simple bedtime drink is based on hydration, not medicine. A very small pinch of natural salt in warm water may help replace electrolytes if someone is mildly dehydrated, but it does not treat diabetes, depression, or chronic pain.

Ingredients (1 serving)

  • 1 cup (240 ml) warm water

  • A tiny pinch of natural sea salt (⅛ teaspoon or less)

❗ Not recommended daily unless advised by a healthcare professional.

Instructions

  1. Warm the water (do not boil).

  2. Add a very small pinch of salt.

  3. Stir until fully dissolved.

  4. Drink 30–60 minutes before bed, not immediately before sleeping.

Important Notes (Please Read)

  • More salt ≠ more benefit

  • Excess salt can:

    • Raise blood pressure

    • Worsen fluid retention

    • Strain kidneys

    • Disrupt sleep

Tips for Better Results (Safer Alternatives)

Instead of salt-heavy drinks, consider:

  • Warm water + lemon slice

  • Herbal teas (chamomile, ginger, peppermint)

  • Magnesium-rich foods during the day (leafy greens, nuts, seeds)

  • Adequate fiber for constipation (fruits, vegetables, oats)

Servings

  • 1 serving

  • Not intended for long-term daily use
