@naslam1603 dehydration is no joke! That’s why hydration is one of the health pillars I discuss in the Beginner’s Health Roadmap.
Thank you for sharing – it’s a good reminder to hydrate before AND after sauna use. And hydration is not only about drinking water, but also replenishing those lost electrolytes through sweat!

Hi B. <div>
</div>No problem at all.
<div> I was wondering about the best way to replenish lost electrolytes. Do you think it would be okay to add some Himalayan pink salt to the water, or should I go for actual electrolyte sachets instead? </div><div>
</div><div>If adding salt is a good option, how about just a pinch in around 250ml? Let me know what you think!</div>-
@naslam1603 both options work. If using natural sea or Himalayan salt, I often recommend using “sole” (pronounced solay) to my clients which is saturated salt water because that ensures you’re getting in the full trace mineral profile in that salt as opposed to what you may or may not get from a pinch of salt.
