Structured water10 Health Benefits of Structured Water for Your FamilyAlso known as hexagonal water, structured water contains molecules that form a hexagonal cluster. Structured water shares similarities with water that hasn't been contaminated by human processes. In its original form, it comes from natural and unpolluted sources like mountain springs and glacier melts. However, it's believed that water molecules can be altered to form EZ water, which essentially returns it to the natural structured water frequency. Below, we'll discuss the benefits of this type of water for the health of your family.
What Makes Structured Water Unique?
The water that flows out of our taps undergoes treatment that destroys its natural structure—both vibrationally and chemically. The chemical formula for normal water is H2O, which means each water molecule contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom. On the other hand, the chemical formula for structured water is H3O2, which means three hydrogen atoms combine with two oxygen atoms to form one molecule.
This results in more energized water, with properties of viscosity, alkalinity, and denseness. One of the benefits of structured water that makes it stand out from different types of water is that its molecules have a higher level of electrical charge vital for cell functioning. To enjoy all these benefits and more, you can make your own structured water with the help of Mayu Swirl.

This amazing water can also be used for more than just human consumption, as some of its advantages also include the following:
When used in spas, it lessens the chlorine requirements for pools and jacuzzisHelps gardens, lawns, and house plants bloom and thriveImproves the development of crops with expanded biomassLowers the freezing point so crops and plants can be sustained at lower temperaturesHealthier fish and livestockLowers the water surface tension for better penetration.
10 Health Benefits of Structured Water
Below, you can read about some of the specific benefits structured water can bring you and your family.
1. Fresh and Invigorating Taste
Structured water has a better taste than tap or filtered water. Hexagonal water is often described as smooth, sweet, clean, and soft water. This is because the surface tension of structured water is lower than that of regular filtered water, which prevents bitter-tasting water.

2. Optimal Hydration
Because of the hexagonal structure of EZ water, it's more efficiently absorbed by the body's cells. This results in optimal hydration, which reduces fatigue and provides the body with more energy while also giving you hydrated, restored skin and making dry hair cleaner, smoother, and glossier.
3. Improved Weight Management
Proper hydration is essential for all bodily functions, including those that affect weight loss. Structured water helps improve digestion, eliminate constipation, and strengthen the microbiology in the gut. A healthy digestive system helps maintain weight and promote weight loss.
4. Increased Detoxification
Drinking enough water is essential for detoxifying the body. Structured water enhances this process because the water molecules are able to move more efficiently across cell membranes as well as in and out of cells. This helps “rinse out” any toxins within the cells so that the body can flush them out. Structured water also helps dissipate and change the form of many toxins, making them less absorbable.

5. Increased Immune System Function
Drinking structured water supports and boosts immune system functioning and longevity in several ways. Hexagonal water promotes optimal bioavailability of nutrients and makes it easier for the cells to absorb oxygen, resulting in the optimal functioning of your system.
6. Better for Your Pets
Structured water has the same benefit for your pets and other animals as it does for humans. Giving your pet structured water will increase their immune support and detox their bodies.
7. Improved Absorption of Minerals, Vitamins, and Nutrients
Drinking EZ water enables enhanced reception and absorption of minerals and nutrients on a cellular level. The increased vitamins and minerals from the water bolster the body's metabolism and residue excretion. Structured water also provides deep intracellular hydration and optimized mineral uptake.
8. Cartilage and Disc Regeneration
The pressure of daily activities takes water from the stores in the discs, which contributes to cartilage degeneration and results in complex and painful movement. Cartilage doesn't function well in an acidic environment, which is why more alkaline water like structured water improves cartilage and disc regeneration. Increasing the water's pH levels will help rehydrate the discs, allowing them to regain their cushioning quality, size, and shape. Proper hydration also washes away toxins in the joints.

9. Cell Recovery
Drinking structured water helps the cells recover faster, as water is a vital building block in every cell of the body. Structured water is able to hold an energy charge, so it saves energy in the body on a cellular level when you drink it. As a result, the cells are able to use this energy without having to process it, helping the cells recover faster.
10. Increased Energy Levels
The human body requires sustainable, balanced, long-lasting energy. EZ water increases the mitochondrial energy output in the body, which helps cells across your body function more efficiently. In addition to aiding the absorption of minerals to increase energy, drinking structured water increases your overall energy naturally, working better than caffeine.
Reap the Health Benefits of Structured Water
Structured water is beneficial for our overall well-being. Drinking hexagonal water makes it easier for our bodies to absorb optimum levels of minerals and vitamins to stay hydrated. Structured water provides our bodies with the energy required to live a quality life in a safe and fresh-tasting way. The best way to access structured water and reap these benefits with your family is to make it at home with ease using the Mayu Swirl Carafe.
Structured waterHow to Make Structured WaterStructured water, also known as hexagonal water, is water where the molecules form a hexagonal cluster. Structured water is said to have very close similarities to pure and uncontaminated water found in natural springs and glacier melts.

Structured Water vs. Unstructured Water
Unstructured water has a chemical formula of H2O, meaning two hydrogen atoms combine with one oxygen atom to make up a water molecule. Structured water, on the other hand, has a chemical formula of H3O2, which means that three hydrogen atoms combine with two oxygen atoms to form something chemically different from “normal” water.
Structured waterFormula: H302Denser, heavier, more viscous, and has higher alkalinity levelsWater molecules have a higher electrical charge vital for proper cell functioningWater molecules are more easily absorbed in the cells due to their shapeUnstructured waterFormula: H2OHas a balanced pH of 7Water molecules form irregular angles making it more difficult for the cells to absorbThe size of water molecules may not be as effective for cell absorption and may cause dehydration

Making Your Own Structured Water
The Crystal Method
Crystal water and structured water are believed to be the same thing. Many people suggest that you can create structured water by charging it with crystals such as rose quartz, clear quartz, and amethyst, as they are water-safe. Other than that, you will need a glass jar and some clean water.
Begin by filling your jar with high-quality water and place it where it will get some sunlight—this way, the water will be charged through the crystals and heat energy.Place your crystals in your glass jar and put the lid on if you have one.Leave the crystals and the jar for a couple of hours.You can remove the crystals from the water or leave them in—the choice is yours.
The Funnel Method
This method makes use of a vortex technique—which we will cover in more detail in the section below. You will need a funnel, a smooth stone or crystal that is not a perfect sphere, clean water, and marbles.
Take your funnel and place it over the opening of a glass bottle. Take the smooth crystal or stone and place it into the funnel—but make sure that the hole is not completely blocked. Fill the funnel up to halfway with marbles.Pour your clean water over the marbles, which will create a vortex effect as it runs over them, structuring the water.You should do this a few times for the best effect.
The Copper Method
It is believed that adding a copper plate to your water vessel not only removes impurities from the water but also restores it to its natural, structured state. You will need one clay or steel pot, clean water, a copper plate or sheet that is at least 1 mm thick (just over 1/32 inch), lemon, and salt.
Clean your pot and fill it with high-quality water.Thoroughly scrub both sides of the copper plate with a lemon and salt mixture until any oxidation marks are removed.Rinse the copper plate and wipe it dry.Place the plate into the pot and cover the pot with a lid.Let the water sit for 6-8 hours—or overnight—for best results.Remove the copper plate and use your structured water for drinking and cooking purposes.
Infrared or UV Light Method
It is believed that structured water can be made using ultraviolet or infrared light. You will need a glass jar, clean water, and either a UV or infrared light.
Fill your glass jar with clean water.Plug in your chosen light source and place it so that it’s shining on the glass jar or from above.Leave it on for 3-4 hours.
Can You Make Structured Water in a Blender?
One of the ideas behind making structured water is to vortex it, which charges it and allows it to hold more energy. In nature, vortices are energy accumulators and energy transformers.
A vortex has the ability to restore natural energy patterns to something that has been disturbed or contaminated. Vortices provide the ability to remove all forms of contaminants in water by transforming the electromagnetic frequencies of the water back to their original, healthy state. When water flows through a vortex, de-structured, contaminated, and corrupted water molecules are returned to a structured state.
With that being said, if your blender creates a vortex effect, blending your water may restore it to a structured state. However, water structuring devices are a better choice to guarantee you receive the vortex water benefits.
Water at Its Finest
Structured water is found naturally occurring in untouched and uncontaminated water sources. As there are many benefits to structured water, but it's not always easy to access it in nature, many people turn to making their own H3O2 water.
While there are various methods for making structured water at home, one of the easiest and most effective ways is to purchase a water structuring device. The Mayu Swirl is one such device that transforms any water into structured water quickly and effortlessly—giving you peace of mind that your water is truly in its finest state.

Structured waterEverything There Is to Know About Structured WaterWater is at the top of the list when it comes to human survival—the life-giving substance that we need every single day. There are so many different kinds of water in this day and age, so it can be tricky to know which is the most beneficial. We have put together all the important information you need to know about structured water and its benefits in this article.
What Does "Structured Water" Mean?
Structured water, also known as hexagonal water, refers to water molecules that form a hexagonal cluster. It is believed that structured water is very similar, if not the same, as pure, untouched, and uncontaminated water found in glacier melts and natural springs.
Structured water has a chemical formula of H3O2, which means it has three hydrogen molecules combined with two oxygen molecules—different from the normal H2O formula.
Structured water is thicker, denser, and more viscous than normal water and can store and release energy. The molecules of structured water are believed to have a higher vibrational charge, which is more beneficial for the human body and results in increased hydration.

Is Structured Water Safe to Drink?
Structured water is safe to drink and is considered more beneficial than processed water. The processes involved in restoring water to its structured state are also harmless. The benefits of structured water are more effective for our health.
Health Benefits of Structured Water
The most popular benefits of structured water include the following:
Helps the cells of the body recover quickerDetoxifies the body of toxic chemicals and harmful frequenciesManages stress by increasing organ activity and enhancing resilienceBoosts energy by encouraging immune system functioning and longevityEasier absorption by the body, which improves hydrationSupports the immune system by promoting optimal bioavailability of nutrients
How Is Water Structured in Nature
When water molecules bond in a hexagonal pattern, they create H3O2, allowing for more efficient hydration and faster energy movement. Natural springs, tumbling streams, rain, exposure to sunlight, and balanced minerals are natural ways water is structured to create a hexagonal pattern. Here is a list of everything that reinforces H3O2:
Healthy plants, soil, and microbesOrganic fruit and vegetables with a high water contentSunlight and moonlightThunder and lightningGemstones that resonate with waterBalanced minerals in the correct equilibriumCopper vesselsVortexes
While structured water will remain structured until it is disturbed by something that breaks the H3O2 bonds, it is most energized and hydrating when it comes straight out of your structuring device, so it is best to drink it as soon as possible to reap all the benefits.
How Long Does Water Stay Structured For?
When entering the world of structured water, people often wonder how long the water stays structured—the answer depends entirely on the environment the water is exposed to.
Put simply, structured water stays structured until something de-structures it.
When water is exposed to unnatural energies, toxins, contaminants, and chemicals, it loses its structure, and the energized bonds created when forming H3O2 are broken. Basically, the H3O2 compounds will stay intact until they touch something that is strong enough to disorganize the molecules, including the following:
ChemicalsProlonged stagnation (more than seven days)Filtration or water-softening systemsReverse osmosisMicrowaving water to heat itPlastic storage containers such as bottled waterExposure to artificial electromagnetic waves or fieldsExposure to high electromagnetic fieldsForcing it through long straight pipes
Can You Make Your Own Structured Water?
It is possible to make structured water from the comfort of your own home—check out our blog on making structured water for a more in-depth guide. In short—water can be returned to its structured form using several different methods, including:
Magnetizing it through a process called vortexingExposing the water to natural heat and energy like sunlightExposing the water to ultraviolet or infrared lightStoring the water in a gemstone water bottle
Should You Drink Structured Water?
Structured water does the body no harm and actually comes with a long list of health benefits, including increased energy and hydration levels. Making your own structured water is simple and easy, however, it might be an even easier option to purchase a structuring device so you can enjoy all the benefits of this amazing H3O2 at all times.

Structured waterElevate Your Wine Experience With the SwirlIt's true.
The MAYU Swirl was initially designed to aerate water and water alone. However, we recently started receiving unexpected positive feedback from wine experts claiming that it does great things for wine too.
Aging Wine With Aeration
Incorporating oxygen ages the wine by breaking down tannins for a smoother drinking experience. Jay Kam, the owner of Vintage Wine Cellar and Vintage Wine Vault, says the MAYU Swirl "incorporates oxygen into the wine dramatically faster than any other device I've seen."
He explains, "For older wines, it is generally an issue of waking them up from their slumber, which is usually a shorter time. For young wines, you can get a good approximation of the wine's whole life span in an hour or two in the MAYU."
» Interested to learn more about aeration? Check out this post for all the details.
What Sets the Swirl Apart
There are a few distinct differences between the Swirl and other aerators and wine decanters on the market.
Several of the aerators you'll find online are single-pour aerators that can only be used for a single glass of wine at a time. While they do aerate the wine, it is limited. You have no control over the length of aeration or the outcome. With the MAYU Swirl, however, you can aerate as much or as little as you want.
No More Waiting
A fine aged wine that just needs to be awakened may take five minutes, or your palate may prefer 15 minutes or more. With a young wine, you can take an adventure through time, appreciating the wine at different stages of its life.
Jay explains, "You don't have to wait 20 years to try that bottle on your shelf." A collector can unlock their cellar and enjoy the bottles that they usually have to walk past.
The Swirl: Functional and Stylish
The MAYU Wine Swirl has a rechargeable battery, so you can put it at the center of the table or take it with you for a candlelit dinner at the park. Not only does it do amazing things to the taste of your wine, but it's also beautiful and mesmerizing to look at. It makes for an original and memorable centerpiece to wow any guest.
Control Your Wine Experience
Although all wine aerators fulfill the same purpose, the Swirl gives you control over your wine experience. In Master Sommelier Roberto Viernes's words, "It's like having a time machine. You get to experience the evolution of the wine without the wait."
Cheers to your next fine wine experience.

Structured water5 Reasons Yoga Practitioners Need a Structured Water DeviceDrinking water before, after, and while working out is essential for staying properly hydrated and getting the full benefits of your workout. As with other forms of exercise, such as preparing for a triathlon, drinking water after yoga and hydrating before and during your yoga session is of great importance, as water replenishes the fluids lost during the process of working out. It also regulates body temperature, lubricates the joints, and helps transport the essential nutrients your body needs to stay energized and healthy and keep performing tasks.
However, the form of water known as "structured water" does all this and more, as it's believed to be better suited to a healthier lifestyle. Structured water has a chemical formula of H3O2, which means it has three hydrogen molecules combined with two oxygen molecules—different from the normal H2O formula found in plain water. The added molecules are believed to energize the water with a greater vibrational frequency, which is more beneficial for the body. Here, we'll discuss some of the reasons why a structured water device may be necessary for any dedicated yoga practitioner.

1. Structured Water Units Provide a More Balanced Water Supply
As already mentioned, structured water's chemical composition makes this type of water thicker, denser, and more viscous than normal water, in addition to enabling it to better store and release energy. However, this also means that structured water tastes a lot softer and crisper, which aids in increasing water intake for a more balanced water supply. What's more, the increased vibrational frequency of structured water alone can lead to increased hydration.
2. Drinking Structured Water Benefits Our Bodies
Dehydration can be quite detrimental to a human's overall health. In particular, dehydration can lead to a loss of strength and stamina, which can lead to further damage to your body when paired with the strain of working out. Therefore, it's important to stay hydrated throughout any form of exercise, including yoga. Even though this is a low-impact form of sport, a bottle of water after your practice is a great way to replenish the water you've lost during the session. A glass or two of structured water after the class should be enough to help you recover and keep your muscles from tightening or cramping.

3. Structured Water Device Serves as a Visual Reminder
Most mature adults lose about 2.5 to 3 liters of water per day, especially when the weather is on the warmer side or you decide to do an extra lap run around the block. And, because life as we know it gets beyond busy, we often forget to keep up with hydration. So, having visual reminders to drink water can assist in increasing your water intake—apart from using a hydration intake app, water bottles that are visually striking and in constant view can remind you to drink water every time you see it.

4. Water Movement Has a Calming Effect
Have you ever had a lovely therapeutic massage or a similar treatment such as Reiki, and you heard calming water and nature sounds all around while you were being pampered? Didn't it help you feel more at peace? Well, yoga also connects us to our inner nature, helping us create this connection within ourselves by focusing on the body, breath, and mind. The aim is to develop an awareness of our own energy—our prana, or life force. This is why most yoga studios have water features or a natural atmosphere achieved either by plants or wall prints that evoke nature. Similarly, vortexing your water to make structured water will produce a calming effect through water movement.
5. Structured Water Devices Encourage After-Practice Care
After some yoga sessions, muscles that haven't "worked" before and then went for a hectic workout session can feel sore. Jumping into a nice warm shower can aid in muscle relaxation, sweat out the last bit of toxins sitting just underneath the skin's surface, increase blood circulation, and so much more. While this will help your muscles feel better, you must remember to properly hydrate with structured water for a full recovery after your workout. With a structured water device, you can vortex your water anywhere, making it easier to stay hydrated before, during, and after your yoga session.
Enhance Your Yoga Practice With a Structured Water Device
Like other forms of exercise, yoga can exert a fair amount of strain on the body, causing you to lose fluids through sweat. This is why you need to hydrate and be reminded to do so constantly. As structured water holds more benefits for our health than regular water, having a structured water device will help you take proper care at all stages of your workout and create a relaxing environment for enjoying the full benefits of yoga.

Structured waterAeration - On a Chemical LevelIn order to explore the science behind Mayu Water, we will refer to two key premises.
Biomimicry is the concept that the earth's natural mechanisms provide the most efficient and elegant methods for life to thrive. In other words, emulating nature's intelligence will provide optimal results.
The Human Angle - Body and Soul
Life cannot exist without water, that is a universal and basic law of nature. The importance of hydration cannot be overstated.
Aeration - On a Chemical Level
Atmospheric Oxygen - In; CO2 - Out.
What Is Aeration?
Aeration is the process of bringing water and air into close contact. Aeration influences the water’s physical and chemical characteristics as well as taste, odor, texture, and overall quality.
A flowing motion rejuvenates the water, allows it to absorb atmospheric oxygen, and gives the water its native living structure.
How Does It Work?
The swirling motion introduces atmospheric air into the water, allowing fresh oxygen to dissolve within it. The interface of water and air, expanded by the vortex motion, allows for increased gas exchange and air circulation, causing volatile compounds to release from the water and fresh oxygen to diffuse in.
Fresh Oxygen Is Vital to the Quality of Water
The benefits of aeration have been verified by the World Health Organization and other prominent institutions.
The swirling motion – a transfer between gas and water takes place as we affect the surface and bring in oxygen. Simultaneously, undesirable compounds are released and evaporate. CO2 embedded in the water, for example, evaporates — and through this process, pH levels in the water are elevated.
How Exactly Does This Happen?
the swirling motion causes the aqueous CO2 (carbon dioxide) to become gas CO2 and leaves the water: CO2 (aq)->CO2 (gas).Carbonic acid (H2CO3) in the water then creates CO2 according to this reaction: H2CO3 ->CO2 + H2O.Bicarbonate (HCO3–) in the water creates carbonic acid (H2CO3) according to this: HCO3– + H+->H2CO3.
The net result: H+ (an acid) is consumed, and pH levels go up.
The swirling aeration process helps evaporate and remove dissolved toxic gases and volatile organic compounds (VOC) such as radon, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, nitrogen trichloride, trihalomethanes, trichloroethylene, dichloroethylene, chlorine, ammonia, methane, volatile organics (MTBE, PCE, TCE, toluene, and other industrial solvents). These substances are all considered hazardous materials and potentially dangerous when consumed in excess.
It’s important to emphasize that the Mayu Swirl does NOT filter or purify drinking water. We highly recommend using a good filter to make sure you start with pure H2O.
Taste - Aerated Water Tastes and Feels Better
The chemical and natural processes described above bring the water to its optimized neutral state — that is, pH balanced, rejuvenated, and revitalized. In a double-blind taste test, 87% of subjects in our experiment perceived a clear, unmistakably improved, and almost sweet taste when compared to non-aerated water (interestingly, child samplers were particularly perceptive to the differences in water quality).
Other studies have confirmed that swirled water is indeed sweeter and more delicious. Aeration balances the water’s pH level, quantifiably improving its taste, odor, and overall quality.
