By placing a crystal stone in a bottle, it gives back its accumulated energy into the water you drink. Hydration and Healing Energy - that's the combo we like! Each crystal has a unique power: some lower the levels of stress, some improve creativity, others are good in balancing emotions, and so on.
Crystals have been used for thousands of years in various ancient civilizations and religions for their supposed health benefits, from ancient Egypt and Greece to India and Tibet.
Different crystals are said to offer different benefits. For example:
- Clear quartz. This crystal is a “master healer” used to improve immunity, memory, and focus.
- Rose Quartz. This crystal is used to help improve interpersonal relationships.
- Obsidian. This crystal is used to help improve internal clarity and give the user a greater sense of purpose.
While science is mostly mum, people still really love crystals.
So, why put crystals into your water bottle?
According to Jude Polack, gemstones are believed to transfer their energy directly into water, thereby affecting the water’s:
- structure
- oxygen levels
- pH levels
“Gemstones… absorb energy from light, heat, and pressure and convert it into electric energy, each emitting a unique frequency,” Polack says. “This is why quartz is used in watches, mobile phones, radar, and equipment.”
Polack believes these frequencies can affect the water when crystals are placed in the container.
A good way to understand the concept is to think of it like heat or light energy.
“Just as putting ice all around a glass of water rather than in the water itself will still cool it, or shining a torch through a glass will still light up the water, putting gemstones around your water will still energize it,” she says.
