Sea salt water has a long history of medicinal applications, including use as one of the best topical antibiotics found in nature. Sea salt water is also used internally by some to cleanse, or flush, the system. Natural sea salt contains none of the additives, including iodine, of regular table salt. When purchasing sea salt to make sea salt water, look for words such as "all natural" and "organic" in addition to "sea salt" to indicate real thing.
Fill a sauce pan with distilled water and place it on the stove top on medium to high heat.
Heat the water until it is very hot, but not necessarily boiling, and then turn the stove off.
Add salt to the hot water one spoonful at a time while stirring the salt and water solution in the pot with a wooden spoon.
Watch as the salt dissolves, and then add more salt until the salt crystals stop dissolving.
Wait a few minutes to see if the undissolved salt eventually does dissolve. If it does, add a little more until the salt is absolutely not dissolving any further.
Let the salt water solution cool and allow any further salt settle out of the solution.
Pour the salt water into a mason jar, being careful not to include any of the undissolved crystals at the bottom of the pot. Seal the jar and store.
