How to Make Your Own Ormus
Making Ormus at home is possible using a process called the wet method or precipitation method. It has been practiced by Ormus enthusiasts for decades. This guide covers how the process works, what you need, and important things to know before you start.
Understanding the Wet Method
The wet method works by adjusting the pH of a mineral-rich liquid to approximately 10.78. At this precise pH level, m-state elements drop out of solution and form a precipitate โ a fine white or grey material that settles at the bottom of the container. This precipitate is then washed to remove sodium and other unwanted compounds, leaving behind a concentrated Ormus material that is resuspended in clean water.
What You Will Need
- Mineral-rich source material โ Dead Sea salt dissolved in water, or a high-quality sea salt (avoid table salt with additives). Dead Sea salt is the preferred starting material for home production due to its naturally high m-state mineral content.
- Food-grade lye (sodium hydroxide) โ used to raise the pH. This is a caustic substance and must be handled with care.
- pH meter or pH strips โ accurate pH measurement is essential. A digital pH meter gives the precision needed to hit the 10.78 target.
- Distilled water โ for both the initial solution and the washing stages. Tap water introduces contaminants and chlorine that can interfere with the process.
- Glass containers โ several large glass jars or vessels. Avoid plastic and metal where possible.
- Safety equipment โ rubber gloves, eye protection, and adequate ventilation. Lye is caustic.
- Pipette or turkey baster โ for carefully drawing off liquid during settling phases.
The Basic Process
Step 1 โ Prepare the salt solution: Dissolve your Dead Sea salt or sea salt in distilled water. A common starting ratio is approximately 1 cup of salt per gallon of distilled water. Stir until fully dissolved.
Step 2 โ Prepare your lye solution: Carefully dissolve food-grade lye in distilled water to make a diluted solution (approximately 1 tablespoon lye per cup of water). Always add lye to water โ never water to lye. Do this in a well-ventilated area wearing gloves and eye protection.
Step 3 โ Raise the pH slowly: Add your lye solution to the salt water drop by drop, stirring constantly and monitoring the pH after each addition. You are aiming for exactly 10.78. Do not overshoot โ going above this level can begin dissolving the precipitate back into solution. This step requires patience and close attention.
Step 4 โ Allow to settle: Once you reach the target pH, cover the container and leave it undisturbed for 4 to 8 hours (or overnight). The precipitate will settle to the bottom as a white or grey layer.
Step 5 โ Draw off the liquid: Carefully use a pipette or turkey baster to remove the clear liquid above the precipitate without disturbing the settled material at the bottom. Discard this liquid.
Step 6 โ Wash the precipitate: Add fresh distilled water to the precipitate, stir gently, and allow it to settle again. Repeat this washing process 3 to 5 times to remove residual sodium. Each wash makes the final product cleaner.
Step 7 โ Resuspend: After the final wash, add a small amount of distilled water to the precipitate and stir to create your finished liquid Ormus. Store in a dark glass bottle in a cool location away from direct light and electromagnetic sources.
Important Safety Notes
- Lye (sodium hydroxide) is highly caustic and can cause serious burns. Always wear protective gloves and eye protection when handling it.
- Work in a well-ventilated area and keep lye away from children.
- Never use aluminum containers or utensils โ lye reacts with aluminum and produces hydrogen gas.
- If lye contacts skin or eyes, rinse immediately with large amounts of water.
Home-Made vs. Professionally Produced Ormus
Home production is a valuable learning experience and can produce genuine Ormus material. However, professionally produced Ormus has several advantages: controlled source material quality, precise pH management with calibrated equipment, multiple wash cycles, and consistent concentration.
Many people who make their own Ormus also maintain a supply of a high-quality commercial product to ensure they have a consistently potent, clean formula available.
The Bottom Line
You can make your own Ormus at home using Dead Sea salt, lye, distilled water, and a pH meter. The wet method is straightforward but requires patience, precision, and respect for the caustic materials involved. It is a rewarding process for those who want to understand Ormus from the ground up.
