How to wash yourself with spring water for healthy skin and hair
-
Using spring water for washing your skin and hair provides gentle, mineral-rich hydration without the harsh additives found in heavily treated tap water
Minerals
Spring water contains vital minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and silica, which have been shown to nourish the scalp and strengthen hair strands. These minerals promote overall hair health and can improve lustre and manageability.
pH
Spring water usually has a neutral pH, similar to the pH of the scalp and hair. Using spring water for hair rinses helps to preserve the scalp's natural pH balance, reducing dryness, irritation, and excessive oily scalp.
Chemicals
Spring water is free of harsh chemicals like chlorine, which can deplete the hair's natural oils and hydration. Rinsing with spring water keeps hair moisturized, soft, and supple without weighing it down.
Scalp health
The purity of spring water can help soothe and refresh the scalp, reducing inflammation, itching, and dryness. It also removes buildup from hair products and environmental pollutants, promoting a clean and healthy scalp environment.
Protective barrier
Spring water acts as a protective barrier against environmental pollutants, such as chlorine in tap water and pollutants in the air. Using spring water for hair care helps shield hair from damage caused by exposure to these elements.
Hair health
The mineral-rich composition of spring water helps smooth the hair cuticle, reducing frizz and enhancing natural shine. Regular use of spring water can leave hair feeling soft, smooth, and lustrous.Tap water is toxic
Spring water is naturally filtered through layers of rock and soil, which can remove impurities and add minerals to the water. Tap water is treated with various chemicals and undergoes filtration and disinfection processes to meet safety standards.
If you don't put it in your mouth, don't put it on your skin
We kind of apply this to other things like toxic skin creams and stuff but many people here don't want to drink tap water but they still put it on their skin.
How to do it
Since you probably don't have a spring or clean river next to your house. You would need to get the water from the spring in big glass jugs and bring them home. I'm lucky to live close to one but I understand for most people it's not that easy to get.
Glass jar
You don't want to use too much precious pure water. You could just pour it in a glass and just pour the water over you. But you won't be able to control the water flow and you'll use up too much water. You want something like a shower head that lets water flow more controlled and distributed.
That is why I use a regular glass jar with a metal screw cap like this. And I made small holes in the metal cap evently distributed like a shower head. And you just fill it with your spring water.
Flow control
The nice thing is that water won't flow out unless you kind of move the jar up and down. That's because there's no air hole on the top. So you can just like shake it a few times on your hair and use your other hand to rinse your hair or to wash your body and face. Sometimes the negative pressure gets too big so it won't flow anymore. Then you just open the jar and release the pressure.
Sunlight
Sometimes you want to wash your hair with slightly warm water to melt the hair oils on your scalp so you can more easily distribute it along the whole length of your hair. Especially if you have long hair I suggest you to do this.
So you can let the jar filled with spring water sit in the sun to heat up. It also shines beneficial uv rays on the water. You need another fitting cap that doesn't have holes so the water doesn't evaporate.

@Liverlover do you still do hot baths with acv too?
@integrity No I have not tried hot baths yet. My mom wants to save money on water and baths use a lot of water. With this method I am washed with about 1L water and I got it for free from nature.
