Calming Mineral Water (Simple Bedtime Drink)
A glass of water with coarse salt or mineral salt (often Himalayan pink salt or sea salt). Some versions also optionally include magnesium, but the image itself shows salt dissolved in water.
Important reality check first 👇
This drink does NOT cure diabetes, depression, anxiety disorders, or joint disease. Claims like that are misleading. What it can do is support hydration and relaxation when used correctly.

Q & A
Q: Can I drink this every night?
A: No. Occasional use is safer.

A: Slightly more trace minerals, but the difference is small.
Q: Will this help me sleep instantly?
A: It supports relaxation — it’s not a sleep medication.
