Sun charged water: Importance and Benefits

Water is a key source of nourishment for the human body. How you consume water and the quality of water you intake affects your body’s physical and mental health. An online store for local Indian ‘super-foods’ Homegrown Platter shares information on sun-charged water’s benefits and its Ayurvedic importance.

Gone are the days when we had the availability of freshwater directly from rivers and lakes. Today, a majority of drinking water sources have been polluted. Water is stored in plastic tanks and passed through rusted pipes which as a result ends up becoming what is known as ‘dead water’ according to Ayurveda. The easy solution is Sun Charged Water. Sun is the source of life, and it is believed that sunlight contains more than 70 elements and powerful waves. When mixed with water the water is charged while also making it anti-viral, antifungal, and antibacterial.

What is sun-charged water?

Sun-charged water is natural water infused with minerals from the sun.

What are the benefits of sun-charged water?

It has a lot of Ayurvedic importance and benefits. This solarized water is also known as sun-treatment or Surya Chikitsa/ Suryang Santaptam in Ayurveda. It is considered to be the purest water, which is highly effective due to the light and heat that oxidises the water, changing its molecular structure and making it more alive by infusing it with natural benefits.
