Re: Epsom Salts Made Me Gag! Any ideas to make the medicine go down??
Hi Laverne,
I "practiced" taking the ES a week before it was actually time to take it for real. I tried a teaspoon of it first, and that wasn't too bad. Then, I picked up some good advice and used the juice of a freshly juiced granny smith apple with each dose of ES during my first flush. I've drunk the full dose both ways, with and without the apple juice. To me, it doesn't seem to taste drastically different, but my taste buds might not be as sensitive as other's. (Also, it didn't seem to make a difference in the quality of my flush results, either.) However, if you just concentrate on getting it down as fast as possible, in one or two swallows at most, it's easier. Even if you have to cut down on the amount of liquid, do it. Then you can wash it down with more plain water, and the plain water will taste sooooo sweet! And you can always pop a lozenge or altoid in your mouth, which I almost always do, after you get the "good stuff" down.
OR....
You could just pretend that your life depends on drinking this delicious cocktail. Perhaps the quality of your life does depend on it...
Cheers!
