Sun-charged water is regular water that’s placed in the sun’s rays to improve the water quality.
The concept comes from Ayurveda, a traditional health system with historical roots in India, where it is also known as Surya Jal Chikitsa. In Ayurveda, regular tap water is seen as ‘dead water’ since it is not tumbling down rivers and basking in sunlight as nature intended. It can then be restored to ‘living water’ after sunlight falls on it.
Instead, it is stored in tanks for prolonged periods, flows through metal pipes that taint the water supply, and has little contact with sunlight. All of which drastically change the water quality.
Sun-charged water reverses this process by utilizing the light spectrum to bring back its vitality and balance, changing it into structured water, or living water.
The sun’s rays scientifically alter the energy, composition, and solubility of drinking water. Along with the chemical and physical properties that influence our biological activity. 1
In this article, we are going to explore all this and more!
How to Make Sun-Charged Water
To make sun-charged water, place drinking water in the sun’s rays for a minimum of three hours, and up to four days hours. This age-old healing technique has some amazing benefits!
Do’s
- Start with filtered, high-quality water
- Use strong and direct sunlight
- Use a high-quality glass bottle
Dont’s
- Use a plastic bottle container
- Block the sunlight with a window or glass
- Cover with cellophane
- Store where airborne contaminants can get in the water.
The best glass to use is a Flaska drink bottle since the glass has been programmed to structure the water.
Alternatively, a structured water wand makes a similar form of high-quality structured water in a matter of minutes. A structured water wand requires a few minutes of sunlight every two or three days but goes beyond sun-charged water by producing highly coherent, structured water.
Drinking Sun-Charged Water
Once made, sun-charged water should be consumed within 20 minutes. You can consume it as plain water, or make a cold beverage.
Similar studies of structured water show that it’s negatively affected by:
- heating above 150°F (60°C)
- boiling
- microwave radiation
- storing for a prolonged time, especially in plastic.
The water will keep its integrity if placed in a blender while also benefiting from vortexing water, which has the added benefit of adding dissolved oxygen!
The Benefits of Sun-Charged Water
Beyond the standard structured water benefits, sun-charged water improves water quality in many ways!
Sunlight has antibacterial properties. Notably, pure water (H₂O) does not have any other elements or minerals but it’s very hard to ensure in this day and age. When water is in strong sunlight, the sun’s solar rays are a reliable disinfecting technique that inactivates bacteria. 2
Sunlight purifies water by releasing commonly found gaseous chemicals. This includes chlorine, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide which have a long list of side effects including skin issues, blocking water bioavailability, slowing down hydration, and accelerating the aging process.
The sun’s rays turn the regular water into hexagonal water, a liquid-crystalline state that benefits from the water molecules collectively working together. Hexagonal water has abundant energy that easily supercharges our cells to perform their basic biological processes and boosts our immune system.
Sun exposure influences water’s pH balance. Carbon dioxide commonly bonds with water molecules to form carbonic acid (H2CO3). Carbonic acid’s molecular structure is not digestible by our bodies and makes water more acidic. Luckily, the sun’s rays unlock this molecular bond and allow carbon dioxide (CO2) to be released as a gas, leaving plain water (H2O) behind. Once removed, this improves the pH balance and the alkalinity, similar to vortexing water.
Sunlight Improves the Taste of Regular Drinking Water. Lastly, allowing the release of gaseous chemicals, such as chlorine, in a completely natural way making a notable difference in the taste of drinking water.
Other Uses for Sun-Charged Water
Treating Skin Issues. For skin health problems: take an outside bath, fill it with water, let it sit in the sunlight for three days, and then bathe for 20+ minutes. Keep in mind, do not heat the water beyond what the sunlight provides. This special water heals common skin problems including rashes, minor burns, and eczema while helping to neutralize skin allergies to naturally keep your skin radiant.

Reasons for Creating Sunlight-Charged Water:
- Helps with purification
- Supports with anti-fungal and anti-bacterial practices
- Improves the taste
- Positively impact skin allergies
Sun Charged Water Side Effects
Sun-charged water is regular drinking water with the infusion of sunlight so it does not have any negative side effects. The water molecules work more collectively and have abundant energy for supporting biological processes.
How to Check the Water Structure
Take your sun-charged water and freeze it in an unsealed vessel (this is important since a sealed jar can explode!). Once frozen, observe the lines, shapes, and bubbles inside the frozen water. You will witness symmetry, order, and coherence in the frozen water!
Is Solarized Water the Same as Sun-Charged Water?
Solarized water is similar, but not the same as sun-charged water, by using chromotherapy to modify the light spectrum. 3
To create solarized water you place a color barrier in-between the sun and the water you are improving.
Red-light therapy, often used in saunas and day spas, shows the potential of chromotherapy. It has been shown to accelerate the healing of wounds, reduce inflammation, improve hair growth, and improve pain. 4 5 6
To solarize your sun-charged water you should use natural light spectrums. We recommend harnessing colored quartz crystals.
