i collected some rainwater recently to make turkey tail tea with and that got me thinking about brewing aya with it. it sounds like a great idea; and i would like to see how it might affect the trip knowing how much better water it was. i guess this is mainly for people in countries such as the UNITED STATES that fluoridates its water. i suppose rainwater could have it's benefits compared to water from the "grid" most anywhere else. but has anyone tried this? i know i need to see if the water is good or not and i'm at a loss i guess b/c i have no means of doing so; i hope boiling would fix any problems b/c it tastes fine

i originally posted this in health and safety b/c the aya was a side thought. but then i thought about it and put it here. also, does anyone else harvest and use rainwater for it's superiority to municipal sources for any number of uses including, but not limited to, aya?

I dunno where you are but I would be checking the jetstream before you do that man..or get a zeolite filter..there is direct nuclear fallout in the rain in many places all over the planet from fukashima when the jetstream lines up.

This is another reason in support of spring water..its been in the earth for thousands of year locked up inside aquafers..never even seeing pollution. It is the cleanest thing your body will probly ever see.

It is sad that it has come to this but I would just never be drinking rain water like that man unless I filtered it first through zeolite to remove all the pollutants in our world.

Boiling will not remove hot particles or many other pollutants. A zeolite filter is what you want.

damn, that sounds so beautiful. except for the pollution. i need to get it and the water from this spring i came across in the woods tested, my friend is a water treatment specialist i need to get him to test it.

and i'm in mississippi
