What is “wrong water” and how do you find wellness water? Read on to learn simple steps to know the difference. How many times have you heard recommendations to drink more liquids and water to stay healthy and hydrated? We have probably all heard it thousands of times. Unfortunately, many of the articles, companies, and people promoting their beverages have an ulterior agenda and money-making motive with hidden health hazards to steer you in the direction of buying their beverage even if it hurts your health. Many times this blog shares the words of wisdom regarding Caveat Emptor (Buyer Beware) because there is a major move in motion to rob you of your health and wealth by selling you the wrong waters for being happy, healthy, and wealthy.

This blog is dedicated to pulling back the curtain of deception from the billion-dollar beverage industry. By sharing DIY healthy habits you can enhance your quality of life as you stop drinking the wrong water sources and start drinking wellness water with honest health benefits. Previously we have written posts about the benefits of DIY approaches to healthy beverages like Terrific Teas, Tinctures, and Tonics (definitely worth reading because it dives deep into specific strategies). This blog is a brief update and upgrade to those proven principles with several new super strategies. Rather than being a guinea pig and consuming unhealthy beverages and water, our goal is to give you dozens of simple strategies to heal and hydrate your body and brain by consuming the best wellness water options available.

Fresh Water

If being more happy, healthy, and wealthy is important to you and your family it is vital you understand proper health and hydration so you can make better choices and decisions. My goal is to educate, empower and excite people around the planet about the many benefits of finding clean and pure water and then using herbal plants to enhance our beverages to become wellness water. People spend so much money on commercial beverages that are chemically altered, nutrient deficient, heated and treated, and made with synthetic compounds. This blog and others we have written on medicinal plants and trees will offer simple steps to help you develop the basic DIY skills to make your own herbal teas and wellness water.

Many people are so addicted to certain beverages that have been brewed and concocted with addictive components and compounds they avoid or reduce drinking even plain water. Therefore now is a great time to learn some techniques and tips to make great-tasting herbal beverages and teas that actually have medicinal properties. Additional benefits of wellness water include alkalizing beverages, eco-friendly, endurance energy, family-friendly, great taste, longevity benefits, lower medical expenses, renewable and sustainable, organic options, saving money, self-sufficiency, and super vitality.

Stop Drinking Wrong Water

By wrong water we mean adulterated, fake, junk unhealthy water that has been chemically enhanced, heat altered, highly refined, pasteurized, processed and preserved, and maybe even microwaved. We all know or need to know the wrong waters to avoid as much as possible including bottled water in plastic, boxed beverages, carbonated drinks, caffeinated drinks, caffeine energy drinks, fruit juices, milk, orange juice, sodas, soft drinks, sports drinks, sugary drinks, synthetic sweetener beverages, tea products, and most tap water. Yes, several of these go against the mega marketing mania aimed at manipulating your mindset.

Most plastic bottles leach chemicals and compounds into the water. We are not good Samaritans and stewards of our planet when you consider the overall cost to consumers for packaged products with the wrong water based on the cost of the product, economic impact, environmental impact, plastic pollution problem, and sustainability issues. Most tap water is contaminated with health hazards like chemicals, fluoride, glyphosate, heavy metals, hormones, mold, pathogens, petroleum products, and pharmaceuticals.

Our ancestors for thousands of years had access to clean water and used herbal plants from Mother Nature to enhance their water into medicinal wellness water. They simply used the bark, flowers, fruits, herbs, leaves, mushrooms, roots, seeds, spices, stalks, stems, and wood of medicinal plants and trees to make herbal teas and wellness water.  Over time they found certain plant parts offered certain benefits to enhance their health and well being allowing them to survive and thrive longer.

“Anyone can make DIY plant-powered wellness water since there is a wealth of wisdom documented in books and websites that share the abundance of herbal history and information going back thousands of years.” — Michael Morningstar

Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) are a great place to start since they have proven track records going back thousands of years focused on health, medicine, and nutrition. Soon the drugstore of the future will be designed to avoid and treat disease with herbal healing from the Green Farmacy and Green Pharmacy using organic plants for our health, immunity, and nutrition. Plant-based teas, tinctures, and tonics provide beneficial compounds to help deal with damage from free radicals and pathogens. The key is to consume a wide variety of natural teas that are non-irradiated, properly prepared, and organic. Drinking herbal beverages is also a great way to avoid dehydration. Remember “Let Food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food” are words of wisdom from Hippocrates, the father of holistic medicine.

Herbal beverages have helped humans around the world with amazing benefits and health properties. Medicinal drinks can provide a wide range of helpful benefits to include antioxidants, disease prevention, first aid, enhanced sleep, enzymes, health enhancement, immune system support, medicinal properties, minerals, phytonutrients, polyphenols, vitamins, and wellness. Always use good rainwater, spring water, well water, or filtered water so you have the best base to start with. Remember to use a water filter or you will become a water filter and absorb some chemical contaminants and health hazards.
