IT is true that minerals are essential for the human body, no one can dispute this. They assist in controlling bone growth, regulating fluids, normalizing nerve and muscle functions, metabolic functions, growth of connective tissues, and much more. 
Nevertheless, a misconception that we obtain minerals from drinking water is just that a misconception. First of all what is water in its purest form? It is H2O. Two molecules of hydrogen and one molecule of oxygen. There are no minerals included in this molecular make-up of water. The main source of minerals is always from our food and diets, and supplements, not from drinking water. For a human to receive enough minerals from water (should the water be mineralized) you would need to drink a bathtub full everyday! Not likely and not feasible. I have never heard of any doctor prescribing a bathtub full of water if you are deficient in minerals….have you?
Which means you should probably watch out for water products that claim that they contain only the good (healthy minerals) in the water. Like some of the vitamin waters on the market today. There is no water purification method selective enough to leave you only the “good stuff.” “Most of the good the stuff” meaning besides calcium and magnesium, they also leave fluorides, arsenic, hard metals, radioactive materials, bacteria, viruses, chemicals, and pharmaceutical drugs. Let us not forget the fact that many natural minerals found in water are actually toxic and radioactive in nature and are known to cause cancer. In this era of pollution where water contains much more disease-causing contaminants than beneficial minerals, it makes sense that the water we drink should be pure and as clean as possible.
Water has a number of distinctive properties that make it one of the most useful substances in healing. Yet the very familiarity of this most common and abundant of substances often blinds the untrained eye to its distinctive healing virtues.
In Greek Medicine, the element Water has an Expulsive Virtue that washes wastes and impurities from the body. Water, the Universal Solvent, dissolves and softens all plethoras, thickenings, hardenings and accretions if given enough time. The cleansing
action of Water is enhanced by its surface tension, which further enables it to penetrate, grab onto, and draw out toxins and impurities.
Water, being the most receptive element and the greatest receiver of energy, also has a number of distinctive thermodynamic properties. Hot Water stores a tremendous amount of caloric energy, which it powerfully transfers to the bodies it comes in contact with. Conversely, cold Water is a powerful coolant, refrigerant and absorber of excess heat, inflammation and fever. Water's powerful influence on the heat distribution patterns of the body can profoundly affect circulation patterns as well. And so, Water's impact on the Vital Faculty and its functions is powerful and direct. Water's impact is all the more powerful when one considers the fact that it can also be delivered to the whole body simultaneously through total immersion.

::Natural mineral water has 3 main features:
- It is a naturally protected underground water
- It is naturally pure
- Its composition in minerals always remains stable
Natural mineral water is different from tap water, since tap water has been chemically treated to be drinking water and its taste is prone to change, from one place to another.
