The American Heart Association recommends no more than 2,300 milligrams of sodium per day for most healthy adults, yet a viral TikTok trend promotes drinking Celtic salt daily for hydration. This has raised questions for many about the safety and efficacy of consuming Celtic salt in water on a regular basis.

This practice is not necessary for most people, but for some, adding a small amount of sea salt in water can help replenish electrolytes and aid hydration.
