The principles of Ayurveda suggest that the way you drink water also affects your overall health. There are various guidelines given in Ayurvedic scriptures regarding how to drink water. These guidelines are tried and tested over centuries by Ayurveda practitioners and its followers. Today I am going to talk about ‘charging your water’ with metals (infusing qualities of the metals into the water). Traditionally Gold, Silver, Iron and Copper have been been used for water charging. You might be aware of Copper’s effects on drinking water, but you might be surprised to know the effects Gold and Silver has on your body. Read on to know the amazing Ayurvedic Therapeutic Health Benefits of water charged with Gold and Silver.
Ayurvedic Benefits Of Gold Charged Water:
Gold ( called Swarna in Sanskrit) is an important, noble metal used in Ayurvedic medicines since ancient times. References can be traced back to Charaka and Sushruta Samhita (ancient Ayurvedic scriptures) where gold has been attributed with a wide range of applications. Suvarna Bhasma (Gold Ash) along with Rajata Bhasma (Silver Ash) can be found in various well known Ayurvedic medicines and preparations like Murabbas and Chyawanprash along with other ayurvedic herbs to increase strength, stamina and brain’s efficiency.

Gold can be used as a nervine tonic (calms the nerves). It has a beneficial impact on the brain, improving memory and intelligence. It also has a relaxing effect on the body and mind.
2. Beneficial During Pregnancy:
It is very well proven that Gold charged water (called Suvarnabharit Jal in Sanskrit) when consumed during pregnancy has a very good impact on the development of the fetus. It promotes the development of the brain and nervous system of the fetus.
3. Gives You Healthy Skin:
The Gold ions present in the gold charged water help in stimulating the cells, nerves, and veins in the body. This leads to improved blood circulation. This increases the metabolism of skin cells and elimination of the waste. It leads to regeneration of new healthy skin cells.

The use of Silver (called Rajata in Sanskrit) in therapeutics dates back to the period of Charaka (one of the principal contributors to Ayurveda). Though its therapeutic applications are not as extensive as other metals like Tamra (Copper) or Loha (Iron) the ancient classics reveal that silver has also enjoyed an important place in Ayurvedic therapeutics.

How to Charge water with Gold and Silver Metals?
- This is done by boiling 1 to 10 grams of PURE Gold and Silver (Coin, Biscuit, Chip etc) in Water.
- Take four glasses of water, immerse Silver and/or Gold in its purest form in it, and start boiling the water. Boil it until the quantity of water becomes half. Or in acute cases boil until water evaporates to one fourth.
- The ions of gold and silver will enter the water, and this process charges the water.
- Wait till the water cools down. You can drink this water once it cools down to a drinkable temperature.
- Early morning is the best time to consume any Ayurvedic preparation to get most benefits out of it.
