The Yin Yang Waters of Ionization

Alkaline And Acid Ionized Waters
Both the alkaline and the acid waters produced from ionization have enormous benefits, but of an entirely opposite nature. The Alkaline Ionized Water is a healthy drinking water. The Acid Ionized Water should never be used for drinking. So the ionized water serves many purposes, but needs to be used correctly. When the ordinary tap water is going through an ionization process, there is an ionic separation that takes place, and the result is that the water emerges from two different hoses. Through one is the alkaline water for drinking and the other is the acid water. Lets look at the characteristics of these polar opposites.
The Benefits Of The Alkalized, Ionized Water For Drinking
Antioxidant: First, let us look at some of the remarkable characteristics of the Ionized water which is alkaline. This water provides extraordinary antioxidant properties, giving us energy through active oxygen. It provides a negative charge, or ORP (Oxygen Reduction Potential). This, too, is an antioxidant.
Since water has a low atomic weight, it becomes the most absorbable known antioxidant when it is ionized.
All liquids have an Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP). This is the millivoltage (mV) or vibration which it possesses. With the use of a frequency meter the ORP can be quantified. Normal tap water has an ORP of +300 to +400 mV and therefore because its ORP is above zero, it has no power as an antioxidant. A negative ORP can reduce or eliminate oxidation. Depending upon the source water and its mineral content, Alkaline Ionized water has an ORP of about -40 mV to -450 mV.
PH Balance: Disease thrives in an acidic environment, but does not thrive in an alkaline environment. Through raising the pH, the body is better able to use its defenses to challenge viruses, bacteria and diseases. When the body is balanced near 7.0, then all the various body functions, including the immune system, can work at their optimum. With fresh ionized water, the body is provided with large amounts of negative hydroxyl ions, which negate the hydrogen ions. We are overly acidic if the body is dominated by positive hydrogen ions and overly alkaline if the body has an abundance of negative hydroxyl ions. We are ideally looking for a balanced pH close to 7.0.
Detoxification: When a person starts to drink the Kangen alkaline water, it begins to flush out the digestive track, and this is the best place for detoxification to begin. Without a clean digestive track it would be much more difficult to remove the toxins from bodily tissue.
Since water ionizers have more than one level of strength, it is important for most people, particularly if they have a toxic buildup in their bodies, to start drinking the alkaline water at the lower level, at pH 8.5. Starting to drink the water at this level allows people to gradually build up and adjust to the higher level of pH. Then they can gradually increase the pH level up to 9.0 and 9.5.
Hydration: Ionized water moves through the body at up to 30% faster than conventional water. Ionized water has up to six times more power in terms of hydration than ordinary water. In mountain streams, where water bounces off the rocks, the result is a mild ionization effect through the creation of hydroxyl ions. This also occurs in waterfalls or waves crashing on the beach.
Water molecules group in clusters of 10 or more, but ionized water groups in clusters of 6. This smaller ionized cluster has been altered from the irregular shape into a hexagonal structure which penetrates the body tissue more efficiently and is easier to absorb than regular water. This is often referred to as micro-clustered. The body is able to perform to its capacity because of the superior hydration properties. Every aspect of bodily healing and repair can be augmented through sufficient hydration and people have enhanced energy.
The Benefits Of Ionized Water (Not For Drinking)
Skin, Hair and Scalp Conditioner: Because both the skin and hair are somewhat acidic, the Acid, Ionized Water is a great conditioner. When Acid Ionized Water is applied to skin, it acts as an astringent and therefore tightens the skin and helps to remove wrinkles. As opposed to other astringents, there is no chemical residue left on the skin. This water also assists with conditions like acne and blemishes. Softer skin can be a welcome outcome if you add a gallon or more of Acid Ionized Water to your bath water. After a shower you can pour the water over your head. This topical treatment can be used in many situations. Improvement may also be seen for other conditions such as Athletes Foot and other fungus. There is no limit as to the frequency of application and the more Acid Ionized Water that is used, the better the response will be. Rashes, wounds, scrapes, etc. can all be treated with this water. It is best to soak dry skin for 20-30 minutes. The water may also remove the sting of insect bites and itch of mosquito bites.
Enhances Plant Growth: Plant health and growth can be assisted in a major way through watering with the Acid Ionized Water. The low pH works very well for plants that thrive best if the soil is slightly acidic. Because of the smaller water molecular clusters the acid water is absorbed much better than from conventional water. An abundance of hydrogen ions is present as is the case in many fertilizers, and therefore, it has a similar effect. Plants will look healthier, their flowers will be brighter, with more colorful leaves.
Retards Bacterial Growth: Acid Ionized water can kill bacteria on contact. It’s efficiency will be dependent on how high the ORP (mV) is and how low the pH is.
An anti-microbial reading would be a pH of 2.5 and an ORP of 1100 mV, and this would indicate that bacteria would be killed on contact.
Also, there are several variables which will affect the water. The strength of the Acid Ionized water is dependent on the mineral content, the flow rate, and the temperature of the water as it is processed through the water ionizer.
These are some of the divergent benefits from these two polar opposite types of waters. Both types of water, the alkaline Kangen Water® and the acid water are made simultaneously with the Kangen Water Machine, manufactured by Enagic. The Kangen Water System, then offers the delicious Kangen Water® for drinking, which contributes to balancing the body, and the acid water provides many other positive aspects for our daily life.
