Sole Water
Sole water is a mineral-rich electrolyte solution made from natural salt and water, designed to support hydration, energy, and adrenal balance.
What Is Sole Water? Benefits, How-To, and Why It’s a Game-Changer for Mineral Balance
If you’re exploring ways to support your energy, hydration, and mineral balance naturally, you’ve probably heard of sole water (pronounced “so-lay”). This simple, ancient remedy is making a big comeback—and for good reason.
Sole water is made by saturating high-quality, unrefined salt (like Redmond Real Salt) in water until it can’t absorb any more. This creates a mineral-rich electrolyte solution that can support your adrenal health, hydration, and overall mineral balance.
Let’s break down the benefits, how to make it, and how it ties into your Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) results—especially if you’ve been told you have a low sodium-to-potassium (Na/K) ratio.
Benefits of Sole Water
💧 Natural Electrolyte Support
Sole water is packed with naturally occurring minerals like sodium, magnesium, calcium, and potassium—essential for hydration, nerve function, and muscle support.
⚡ Adrenal and Energy Support
For those struggling with fatigue, burnout, or brain fog, sole water may help regulate energy by supporting adrenal function, especially when taken first thing in the morning.
🧠 Improved Focus & Mood
Balanced minerals = balanced brain. Sodium plays a key role in nutrient transport and cellular communication, which affects mood, cognition, and mental clarity.
🦴 Digestive and pH Support
Sole may help promote stomach acid production and overall digestive health. It can also help alkalize the body thanks to the trace mineral content.
Sole Water and HTMA: A Smart Support for Low Na/K Ratios
If you’ve done an HTMA test and your sodium-to-potassium (Na/K) ratio is low, you may experience symptoms like:
Fatigue or burnout
Cravings for salt or sugar
Trouble focusing or low motivation
Blood sugar imbalances
A low Na/K ratio can indicate chronic stress or adrenal dysfunction. Since sodium is often depleted in this state, sole water is a gentle way to support sodium intake without overloading the system—especially when used in conjunction with a tailored mineral balancing plan.
It’s not a cure-all, but it’s a smart tool in your HTMA toolkit—especially when paired with other food-based mineral support.

SERVINGS: multiple | PREP TIME: 1-3 days
You’ll Need:
1 clean glass jar with a plastic or non-metal lid
High-quality unrefined salt (Redmond Real Salt or Himalayan pink salt)
Filtered water
Directions
Fill about ¼ of the jar with salt.
Add filtered water until the jar is nearly full.
Let sit for 12–24 hours. If the salt dissolves completely, add a bit more. You’ll know it's fully saturated when a little salt remains at the bottom.
Store at room temperature.
NOTES
Add ½ to 1 tsp of the sole to a glass of water first thing in the morning on an empty stomach. Adjust to your needs and taste.
