Direct Link:Exploring Shivambhu and Salts - A short (er) conversation!
Our second short conversation! Joanne and I decided to do a series of short discussions focused on one topic at a time. We love our long rambling chats, but also want to hone in some good info that is easy to listen to and integrate.
Salt(s) is a topic that gets asked about all the time. There is no one answer, but here are some of our experiences and research after years of Shivambhu practice. Thanks for listening!
Notes:
Exploring Salt and Shivambhu Practice
• Not all salts are the same: The conversation distinguished between sodium chloride (rock/table salt) and the wide range of salts needed in the body, such as sodium, potassium and magnesium.
• Changing tolerance: Some practitioners noticed a declining tolerance for rock-salt over time, especially after consistent use of Shivambhu. This was not something they aimed for—it appeared gradually.
• Physical responses: Practitioners have shared their experiences with swelling, water retention, or irritability easing when rock-salt intake was reduced or paused. Others described salt cravings diminishing or palate sensitivity shifting.
• Food tastes different: Without sodium chloride, some reported that food began to taste more vibrant—particularly the subtleties of spices and herbs.
• Body intelligence: Shivambhu use appears to sharpen the body’s ability to signal what it wants or doesn’t want—including responses to salt, sugar, or processed ingredients.
• No universal rule: This was framed as an exploration, not a prescription. Different bodies respond differently, and what’s true for one person may not be for another.
• Cosmic and emotional links: Salt release and shifts in plasma were also noted to correspond with emotional releases and lunar cycles—suggesting a multidimensional relationship with what the body holds and lets go of over time.

About - Megan Macdonald, PhD, is the founder of the Urine Therapy Research Initiative (UTRI) and facilitator of the Shivambhu Community of Practice. Her work brings together research, history, lived experience, and community wisdom to explore the ancient practice of Shivambhu (Urine Therapy). With a PhD in the Performance of Belief from Queen Mary, University of London, Megan combines academic inquiry with years of personal practice and facilitation. Rather than telling people what to believe, she invites them to observe more carefully, shift the lens of their questions, and discover what is true through their own experience.
Megan's work explores two complementary paths of self-healing that have profoundly transformed her own life. Shivambhu cultivates a daily relationship with the body's innate intelligence through direct experience and observation. The Self-Healing Dalian Method, created by Mada Eliza Dalian, enables the transformation of unconscious beliefs, conditioning and patterns, allowing for conscious awareness to expand. Together, these practices have shaped her approach to healing, research, and the power of community for growth.
