Ahhh! There’s nothing quite as refreshing as drinking a tall glass of water. But there’s much more to water than meets the eye—or dry mouth. For instance, did you know that your body contains more water than any other substance? Or that every system in your body needs it to function properly?
Water gets rid of waste, regulates body temperature, provides cushioning for joints, and can protect sensitive tissue—along with a sea of other benefits. But are you a fish out of water when it comes to hydration?
Whether you’re looking for a creative way to increase your daily water intake, cutting down on sodas or sugary drinks, or wanting to reap the internal benefits of a particular essential oil, adding essential oils to your water is one of the most effective ways to meet your goals, while enjoying a tasty drink
