Hello friends, and Happy World Health Day!
It’s The Waterlady here, and today’s newsletter is extra special. Every April 7th, the world comes together to spotlight health and wellness—and as you might guess, I think water deserves a starring role.
Now, I’m not just talking about staying hydrated (although that’s huge). I’m talking about what kind of water you drink and how it can actually support your body in powerful, restorative ways. So today, we’re traveling to the heart of Italy to explore one of the most legendary healing waters in the world: Fiuggi.
🌿 A Spring of Healing: The Story of Fiuggi
Fiuggi is a small medieval town tucked into the hills of Lazio, just an hour or so southeast of Rome. And while the town is charming, it’s the water flowing beneath it that has brought pilgrims, popes, and politicians here for centuries.
The Fiuggi spring has been known since ancient Roman times—Emperor Augustus is said to have experienced its benefits—and the water officially gained recognition in the early 20th century when it was declared a "health water" by Italian medical authorities. Even Michelangelo reportedly drank Fiuggi water to treat kidney stones.
But what makes it so special?
💧 The Science of Fiuggi: What’s In This Water?
Fiuggi is classified as an oligomineral water, meaning it’s low in minerals and has a particularly light and delicate taste. But the real magic? Its natural ability to help the body eliminate uric acid and support kidney function.
Doctors across Europe still recommend Fiuggi as part of treatment for kidney stones, chronic cystitis, and even gout. It works not by overwhelming the body with minerals, but by gently stimulating metabolic balance.
Here’s a snapshot of what’s inside Fiuggi water (per liter):
-
Calcium – ~25 mg
-
Magnesium – ~6 mg
-
Bicarbonates – ~200 mg
-
Low sodium – only ~5 mg
This composition gives it a soft, smooth profile—very easy to drink throughout the day, and especially ideal during times of detox, dietary reset, or wellness-focused living (ahem, like World Health Day).
🫖 A Daily Ritual of Wellness
I love to pour a bottle of Fiuggi into a glass carafe and sip it slowly, especially during times when I feel bloated, sluggish, or just want to treat my body kindly. Whether it’s first thing in the morning with a lemon slice or after a hearty meal, this water works with you.
And if you're someone who struggles with inflammation, water retention, or has a family history of kidney issues—Fiuggi might just become your new best friend.
