Have you ever heard of Sun charged water, and its Ayurvedic importance and benefits?

Water is a key source of nourishment for the human body, right? So every day how you take it and what quality of water you intake affects your body’s physical and mental health.

Gone are the days when we had availability of fresh water directly from lakes & rivers. Nowadays major sources of drinking water have been polluted. Water remains caught in plastic tanks & rustic pipes and as a result it turns out to what Ayurveda calls “dead water.”

On the other hand, the sun is the source of life and it is believed that sunlight contains more than 70 elements and has powerful energetic waves that get mixed in water and renders it properties of being anti-viral, antifungal and antibacterial.

What is sun-charged water? How to make sun-charged water?

Sun-charged water is natural water infused with minerals from the sun. To make it:

• Pour clean drinking water in a shallow earthen pot or a clear glass container. Place it outside in direct sunlight (do not place it on grass)
• Cover it using thin muslin cloth or cork (in case of glass bottles). Allow it to charge for a good 5-7 hours. Prefer keeping it in the morning around 7-9am
• Later, collect it in your water dispenser and drink within 24 hours (do not refrigerate)

Uses:
