I am on day 12 and never done the SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) and never will. I WILL gag & throw up. I cannot tollerate the massive salt dose. I lived in Florida all my life and always gagged and pseudo threw up if I swallowed the ocean water.

The book mentions the SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) IF your tea (morn & eve) is NOT helping you eliminate enough!

I don't think the senna has anything to do with the flush... but I am a newbie... and so far the only one answering you.

I believe the important thing is to be ELIMINATING as frequently as possible. The book says... I believe it says... at least 3-4 times a day. I have done a tea mid afternoon!

The deiters tea is very tricky BUT IT WORKS! The steeping for 1 or 2 minutes WILL NOT move me. Steeping 3 to 4 min moves me, but I get a tad crampy and 4 hours later- if I am lucky.. I go.

Are you steeping the dieters tea too long??? If you steep it as long as I do... that could be too much and you need to go to the 1 or 2 mnute steep.

If you do the one minute steep and still have an unpleasant experience as you so delicately put it... I'd stick with what works for me... your Triphala.

DH chickened out so I tried the "Smooth Move." It was easier than the dieter's tea. In comparison, the triphala tea was just slightly less purgative than using senna, never had cramping on triphala at all, and SWF (Salt-Water-Flush) is the great equalizer between the two. I'm sticking with my triphala.
