Dowsing is also known as divining or, in the USA, doodle bugging. When referring specifically to the search for water it is known as water witching or water dowsing. Although many cultures and individuals set great store in dowsing there is no scientific evidence that it is effective. The method typically used by the diviner is a dowsing rod, often a rod in a Y or L shape. Metal rods are also used, or no equipment at all.

Dowsing may have originated in 15th century Germany, when it was used to find metals. In 1518 Martin Luther listed dowsing for metals as an act that broke the first commandment about occultism. In 1662 dowsing was declared “superstitious, or rather Satanic” by a Jesuit, Gaspar Schott.  In the South of France in the 17th century dowsing was used to track down criminals and heretics. But, this tactic was sometimes abused, leading to a decree of the inquisition in 1701, forbidding its employment for purposes of justice.

During the Vietnam War, some United States marines dowsed to locate weapons and tunnels. Whether you believe all this or not, rest assured at least that Bottled Spring Water is good for you – and that’s a scientific fact.

Researchers have found that children with high levels of pesticides in their urine were almost twice as likely to develop attention deficit disorder as those with undetectable levels. That’s just one symptom of chemical toxicity. Others sensitivities to chemicals include skin rashes, sinusitis, headaches, asthma, digestive problems, urinary infections, boils, and even emotional instability and an inability to focus or exhibit uncontrollable behaviours.

Water can used to flush the system and re-hydrate the cells. But this flushing is only effective with chemical free water. Once a chemical, flavour or bubbles are added to water. Then it needs to be filtered or digested, which means it can no longer flush your system.

So, if you think you may be experiencing some side effects from chemicals in some of the products you handle every day, Spring Water is the ideal choice to help your system flush them through.

Not too long ago, Sarah Palin insisted on two bottles of ‘unopened still water” with “bendable straws” on top of her demand for a specific model of private jet. This, mind you, on top of her $75,000 plus speaker fee. Former US Vice President, Dick Cheney, insisted on four to six bottles of water in his room, along with two bottles of “Sparkling water (Calistoga or Perrier)” if his wife accompanied him. The heavy metal band AC/DC once asked for spring water in their dressing room — as well as three oxygen tanks and three masks! Mariah Carey wanted mineral water so that she and her dog could bathe in it. Singer Sheryl Crow tries to be green and insists that everything be recyclable, biodegradable and organic. It’s known that backstage she asked for “watering stations,” with water that “must be sourced from a local spring water vendor”.

So there you have it, Bottled Spring Water is the premiere choice of the stars; only you don’t have to be a celebrity to insist on drinking it.

Leave the water and flowers in the sunshine for three hours. Fill your bottles halfway with brandy. Again with tweezers, remove the flowers and any debris from the water. Add this water to the bottles containing the brandy, filling them to the neck, then seal and label them (be sure to include the date). If you’re making more than one essence, wash your hands before proceeding to the next flower. You now have a tincture. Make your essences potent by shaking the bottle or by hitting its bottom against the heel of your hand eight shakes or firm taps at a time.

For everyday use, add two drops of the tincture to another dropper bottle filled with equal amounts of water and a small amount of brandy. A good rule of thumb is to mix one ounce of Bottled Spring Water, two drops flower essence, and one teaspoon of brandy; or substitute one teaspoon vegetable glycerine for the brandy, if you want to avoid alcohol.

It is also used to help with stress and pain relief. Hot springs are used in health spas and baths. Such hot springs can help increase circulation and pain relief that comes with immersing yourself and letting the temperature relax your body. Because it is so pure it can be used to help wash pores clean of harmful chemicals and bacteria.  You can find many resorts around the world that have hot springs locally. They use them for swimming pools, baths, spas, and even for fun activities like water slides.

So whether you simply like the taste, or you want to avoid the man made processes that bring you your domestic water supply, or you plan to discover the health benefits of a spa, Natural Spring Water will always be your best choice.

You may have heard the terms “sacred spring” or holy well”. In general this is a small body of water emerging from underground that is revered either in a pagan or a Christian context, often both. Ancient Greek lore and mythology teems with sacred springs and the stories about them. Some of the most well known are those about the Corycian nymphs (or Naiads), the Pierian spring (metaphorical source of knowledge, science and art) and the Castalian spring, where Roman poets came for inspiration and people who were coming to consult the Delphic Oracle would stop to wash their hair.

In medieval Europe, holy wells were frequently pagan sacred sites that later became Christianised. “Holy” wells were often attributed with  healing qualities through the numinous presence of its guardian spirit or Christian saint, or a ceremony or ritual centred on the well site. In Christian legend, spring waters were often said to have been made to flow by the action of a saint.

In these contexts people say spring water itself is “good”, as well as being good for you.

We have come upon a family of wine producers, which has shared with us their overwhelming joy of having a local natural spring water well. This family lives in California and has been in the wine business since 1998. Mitch Hawkins, his wife Tracy and her stepfather are overjoyed with everything they have accomplished. They share that what they love most about their product is that it is organic. The fact that they live in a region that has the cleanest air in the whole country and the amazing spring water well nearby, makes the quality of the soil supreme and so the wine turns out to be amazing. They knew that they won’t be the biggest producers of wine, but what they strove for was for the product to be organic and they have achieved it. The spring water they have nearby is also great for their animals – this family is crazy about horses. All the women take part in horse rodeos, the guys go to tend on the grape vines on their mares. Mitch and Tracy consider themselves to be very happy people, because they have found their passion in life, have the unique opportunity to do what they love and are blessed with a great piece of land.

Bottled Spring Water is a great way to stay healthy and fit throughout the day, and reusing the bottles is just as important!

If you have plants, whether in your garden or houseplants, watering them may be a pain as you are always fighting with the hose or running back and forth with a glass of water to water them. By using a large plastic bottle you can both save time and energy. There isn’t much to do to achieve this, simply take the cap of and fill up. You can however, get creative and decorate your watering jug to suit your taste and garden better.

Again, for the gardeners out there, when replanting plants surely you find yourself with problems keeping them well hydrated as the water immediately evaporates. By cutting a smaller plastic bottle in half and sticking the lip side of it in the soil near the roots of the plant you can water it more efficiently and have less wasted water and a thriving plant.

Lastly, for those that enjoy crafts, or simply have a lot of small things lying around the house, whether in the workshop or kids rooms, bottles can help you get organized. Keep anything from coins, nails, small Lego pieces, beads, or other small craft stuff safe inside plastic bottles. These can also be beautifully decorated to better match their surroundings.

Spring Water is not only healthy for you, but the bottles can be useful, recycle and reuse!
