More and more people have been talking about moon water lately. They share how it’s had a positive impact on their lives and the experiences they’ve had. Just like with anything, though, there are always two sides to every story. Here are a few potential downsides to moon water that don’t often get mentioned.
What’s Moon Water, And Why Do People Drink It?
Moon water is basically “just water” that was collected or stored during a full moon. A lot of people think that the moon has some subtle influence over water and that letting water “charge” or sit under the moonlight enhances that connection. In astrology, the Moon actually rules over the element of water, so water and the moon have always had some sort of bond.
Typically, believers say that moon water is more hydrating for your body, helps detoxify you, and may provide some healing or magical benefits. Now, there isn’t any real scientific evidence to back up these more mystical claims. But many people who are really into holistic wellness and natural remedies swear by the effects of moon water. If you want to give it a try for yourself, here are some of the alleged perks people say you can get:
- Improved hydration. Some say moonlight gives water a silky, soft quality that makes it extra hydrating and refreshing.
- Detoxification. There is a belief that the moon’s cycles influence fluids in the body, including blood and lymph. Drinking moon water may help flush toxins and support your body’s natural detox processes.
- Stress and sleep support. The moon is linked to our circadian rhythms and hormonal changes. Moon water could help relax the mind and body, reducing stress and promoting better sleep.
- Feminine health. The moon’s cycle is connected to the female menstrual cycle. Moon water may provide support for menstrual health and fertility.
The Overlooked Side Effects of Drinking Moon Water
Drinking moon water may seem like the latest health craze. But there are some risks you should be aware of before trying it. Moon water itself won’t hurt you – it’s just regular water left outside overnight with the intention of absorbing moon energy. There’s nothing actually added to the water.
What you need to be more careful of is how your beliefs around moon water could affect you mentally. Just because moon water is physically harmless, that doesn’t mean the beliefs surrounding it can’t potentially cause more harm than good. If you put too much stock in something like this, it could distort your perspective or well-being.
The point of moon water isn’t to have big expectations or look for quick results. Some people may drink moon water expecting their ex to come back the next day, only to end up disappointed. While this isn’t really dangerous, having expectations that don’t come true can leave you feeling let down and ruin your whole day. If you want to try moon water, go into it with an open mind instead of high hopes.
Emotional Sensitivity
The moon has a lot of influence on Earth, like the tides, how we sleep, and our moods. In astrology, the Moon controls water. So when you combine water with the moon, it’s a powerful mix.
One of the main side effects of drinking moon water is that it can make you feel very emotional. When you leave water outside under the moonlight, it absorbs the moon’s energy. Since the moon is connected to emotions and feelings, the water takes on that energy too. Then, when you drink moon water, you may experience strong emotions, especially on the day you drank it. If you want to try moon water, know that feeling extra emotional is normal as your body adjusts to the lunar energy.
Feeling Let Down
Don’t feel too bad if moon water doesn’t work out how you hoped. It’s normal to feel let down when things don’t go as planned. But remember, moon water alone won’t do much. You need to have clear goals and intentions for what you want it to help with.
A lot of people get disappointed because the water itself didn’t magically change anything. If that was your experience, don’t give up on it yet. The key is having specific things you want to achieve using the moon water.
Overthinking The Process
When it comes to collecting moon water, there are lots of beliefs out there about the best way to do it. But worrying too much about doing it perfectly can ruin the fun. Focus more on what moon water means to you personally, and don’t stress out about getting it just right.
Things like what type of glass you use, how clean the glass is, or how full of the moon’s energy the water is – none of that really matters. Just go with the flow as you collect and store the moon water. If you overthink it too much, you may end up with nothing to show for your efforts.
Does Lunar Water React With Blood?
Some people worry that drinking lunar water could cause issues with your blood. They think the radiation on the moon might give the water a higher electrical charge. And that charged water touching your blood cells and proteins could mess with them at a tiny, molecular level. But really, there’s no evidence that would happen. I don’t think lunar water would react badly, or at all, with someone’s blood if they drank it.
Final Verdict & My Advice
As someone who’s been into spirituality for over 20 years now, I truly believe moon water has some power. I believe water charged by the moon can bring positive results, especially for magic, spirituality, or emotional health. Well, even love – it worked for me because I manifested my ex back using moon water.
That said, like with anything, be aware of potential downsides too. My advice is only drink moon water if you’re sure your emotions can handle the moon’s energy. You have to remember moon water can make you emotional and super sensitive. And most important, don’t go in with too many expectations. Whether drinking to feel better or manifest something, go in with an open mind. Drink while thinking of your intention or dream, then let it go and let the universe take over from there.
