Cellular Hydration Products: My Favorite Ways to Support Electrolytes, Fascia, and Cellular Hydration in Portland
Living in Portland, we’re lucky to be in a culture that values wellness. And yet, many of the people I see in my practice are still chronically dehydrated at a cellular level — even if they’re drinking plenty of water.
Hydration isn’t just about how much water you drink. It’s about electrolytes, minerals, and how well your tissues — especially your fascia — can absorb and hold that fluid. This is especially important for folks dealing with headaches, chronic pain, or nervous system stress.
Below are my favorite, simple ways to support cellular hydration using electrolytes and mineral-rich drinks, followed by why Portland fascial bodywork plays such an important role in truly hydrating the body.
Why Electrolytes Matter for Cellular Hydration
Water alone doesn’t fully hydrate your cells. Electrolytes — minerals like sodium, potassium, magnesium, and trace minerals — help move water into your cells where it can actually be used.
Without adequate minerals:
Water passes through you without being absorbed
Muscles and fascia stay tight and stiff
The nervous system stays more activated
This is why adding intentional electrolytes can make such a noticeable difference in how your body feels.
My Favorite Cellular Hydration Products & Ways to Get Electrolytes
Bumbleroot Hydration Drink
Use code becky_higginson for 15% off
A clean, well-balanced electrolyte drink that supports hydration without added junk — great for daily use or after movement.
Aussie Mineral Drops
Concentrated trace minerals you can add to water to support deep cellular hydration and mineral replenishment.
Coconut Water
A naturally occurring source of potassium and electrolytes — best when unsweetened and paired with a pinch of sea salt for balance. Add a sprinkle of high quality sea salt to make it truly hydrating.
Jigsaw Adrenal Cocktail
A mineral-rich blend designed to support adrenal health, stress resilience, and steady hydration throughout the day.
Herbal Infusions
One of my favorite (and most underrated) hydration tools. Herbal infusions are mineral-dense teas steeped for hours, allowing the plants to release electrolytes your body can easily absorb.

Hydration, Fascia, and Why Water Isn’t Enough
Fascia is the connective tissue that wraps around your muscles, organs, nerves, and joints — including the jaw. Think of it like a three-dimensional web that relies on fluid movement to stay healthy.
When fascia is dehydrated or restricted:
It becomes stiff and less elastic
Movement feels harder
Pain signals travel more easily
Hydrating your fascia with minerals, slow movement, and intentional hydration is a powerful step — and for many people, hands-on bodywork takes that support even further.
How Portland Fascial Bodywork Supports Cellular Hydration
Here’s the magic: once the minerals are in, slow, fluid movement pumps hydration into your fascia. Think gliding, twisting, yawning stretches, gentle walks—like wringing and re-soaking a sponge.
Gentle, hands-on therapies help restore movement between layers of fascia, allowing fluids to circulate more freely. When fascia can glide again, cells can absorb hydration more effectively.
In my Portland practice, I often combine hydration education with fascial-focused bodywork to support deeper, longer-lasting change.
One especially supportive option is Craniosacral Therapy. This gentle approach works directly with the nervous system and fascial system, helping the body soften, unwind, and rehydrate from the inside out.

Bringing It All Together
True hydration happens when you support:
Electrolytes & minerals
Slow, intentional movement
Healthy, mobile fascia
If you’re drinking water but still feel tight, tired, or tense — and are peeing non-stop— your body may be asking for deeper support.
Combining mineral-rich hydration with fascial bodywork in Portland can be a powerful way to support cellular hydration, nervous system regulation, and overall well-being.
