The Many Uses of Kangen Water.
Kangen water is more than just drinking water. The varying pH levels of Kangen water allow you to use it for a multitude of purposes, including replacing some household cleaning products, beauty products, and other household materials that you purchase regularly or semi-regularly. This is why when we discuss Kangen water ionizers we also discuss their positive economic AND environmental impacts on your household and our planet; you’re systematically able to reduce your single-use plastic consumption when you purchase something like a K8 from Enagic.

8.5-9.5 Kangen Drinking Water
It is recommended to start by drinking pH 8.5 water for 1-2 weeks. If you do not experience any "discomfort" (bloating, slight headache) you can increase the water to 9.0 and drink Kangen Water pH 9.0 for 1-2 weeks before stepping it up to Kangen Water pH 9.5. If you do not experience any "discomfort," you can increase the water to pH 9.5.
*Note frequency of urination should not be considered as "discomfort."
Your body is detoxing; it is important to keep drinking to flush out toxins and waste!
Aids in weight loss
Reduces appearance of spider veins
Use for aroma therapy
My experience with some of these uses:
I’ve used the 11.5 water MANY times to treat burns in the kitchen more effectively than any ice treatment I have ever tried. The pain and discomfort of the burn disappears almost immediately. I’ve used the 2.5 as a gargle to reduce sore throat symptoms when I’m sick to avoid taking over the counter medications that might otherwise make me feel worse than I already do, or make me too groggy and fatigued to get anything done all day. I use the 6.0 water to water all of my plants, which is great because I am not the best plant mom, and I am sure that this water has gone a long way in helping me keep many of my babies alive longer than tap water would have!
I drink the 9.5 water daily and I can feel a difference in my digestion when I don’t. I had a couple weeks of adjustment when I first purchased my machine, but that adjustment period was WELL worth it for me in the end. I feel more energized, more hydrated, and overall, I feel as though I am doing more to improve my health every day, especially in regard to reaching my weight loss goals.
