It’s a nourishing experience that helps support your body, inside and out.

In this section, we’ll explore how people are incorporating mineral water into their wellness routines, and share some fun and delicious recipes for herbal infusions using local herbs—many of which grow right here in beautiful Burrawang!

Why Health-Conscious People Are Choosing Mineral Water

You’ve probably heard that staying hydrated is important, but did you know that mineral water can offer a host of additional health benefits? Many health experts are now recommending mineral water for its rich mineral content, which is naturally absorbed as the water filters through underground aquifers. This natural process creates water that is packed with vital minerals like calcium, magnesium, and silica, which are essential for your body’s daily functions.

From supporting bone health and promoting skin elasticity to improving digestion and boosting energy levels, mineral water is quickly becoming a staple in the wellness world. And, when combined with herbal infusions, it can be a refreshing and healing drink that nourishes both body and mind.

Herbal Infusion Recipes with a Local Twist

Herbs have been used for centuries to promote health, and when combined with Boombi Mineral Water, they create a refreshing and beneficial drink. Some of these herbs even grow right here in Burrawang! So, why not bring a touch of nature from your backyard into your water bottle?

Here are some fun and delicious herbal infusion recipes using herbs that thrive in the Burrawang region:

1. Thistle & Citrus Infusion

Thistle is a fantastic herb that grows all over our farm here in Burrawang. It’s known for its detoxifying properties and can support liver health and digestion. Combined with the refreshing zest of citrus, this infusion is perfect for a revitalizing drink.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon dried thistle (you can also use fresh leaves)
• 1-2 slices of lemon or orange
• 1-2 sprigs of fresh mint (optional)
• Boombi Mineral Water (chilled)

1. Add the thistle to a glass of chilled Boombi Mineral Water.
2. Squeeze in the juice of the citrus slices and drop them in as well.
3. Add a sprig of fresh mint for an extra burst of freshness.
4. Let it infuse in the fridge for about 2-3 hours before enjoying.

Why it’s great: Thistle is a powerhouse herb with a long history of use in traditional medicine, particularly for its support of liver function and detoxification. It’s best known for its active compound, silymarin, which has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that help protect the liver from toxins and promote its regeneration. By supporting liver health, thistle can aid in the body’s natural detoxification processes, flushing out harmful substances and improving digestion.

In addition to liver health, thistle has been shown to support healthy cholesterol levels by improving liver function, which can positively affect the balance of fats in the blood. It may also aid in digestion by stimulating bile production, which is essential for the breakdown and absorption of fats. Thistle’s detoxifying properties can also contribute to clearer skin, as it helps remove impurities that can lead to skin issues. Moreover, this herb is believed to boost energy levels by improving overall body functions, including enhancing liver efficiency, which in turn supports better metabolism and digestion. Combined with citrus fruits, which provide a burst of vitamin C, this infusion becomes an excellent choice for improving digestive health, detoxifying the body, and giving you a natural energy boost throughout the day.

2. Lemon Balm & Lavender Relaxation Water

Lemon balm is known for its calming effects on the nervous system, while lavender promotes relaxation and better sleep. This soothing infusion is perfect for winding down in the evening or taking a quiet moment during a busy day. Lightly floral and subtly citrusy, it’s a natural way to support mental clarity and emotional balance.

Ingredients:

• 1 handful of fresh lemon balm leaves (or 1 tbsp dried)
• 2-3 slices of fresh ginger
• 1 liter filtered mineral water
• 1-2 tsp honey (optional, for a hint of sweetness)
• ½ lemon, thinly sliced (optional, for added freshness)

Instructions:

1. Lightly bruise the lemon balm leaves to release their natural oils.
2. Add the lemon balm, lavender flowers, and lemon slices to a large jug.
3. Pour the filtered mineral water over the herbs and let it infuse in the refrigerator for at least 2-3 hours (or overnight for a stronger flavor).
4. Strain the water before serving and add honey if desired.
5. Serve chilled and enjoy a refreshing, stress-relieving herbal drink.

Why it’s great: Lemon balm and lavender are both well-known for their powerful calming and soothing properties, making them the perfect combination to help you relax and unwind after a busy day. Lemon balm, a member of the mint family, is renowned for its ability to reduce stress and anxiety. It works by helping to regulate the nervous system and promoting the production of certain neurotransmitters that help reduce feelings of tension and restlessness. This herb has been traditionally used to ease insomnia and promote restful sleep by calming the mind and body, making it an excellent choice for evening relaxation.

Lavender, on the other hand, has long been celebrated for its ability to calm the mind and soothe the senses. It is widely known for its anti-anxiety and antidepressant effects, making it an ideal herb for reducing stress and promoting a sense of calm. Studies have shown that lavender can help improve sleep quality and duration by reducing anxiety and enhancing relaxation. Together, lemon balm and lavender work synergistically to promote deep relaxation, reduce mental and physical tension, and support better sleep.

When combined with the cool, refreshing taste of cucumber and the hydrating properties of Boombi Mineral Water, this infusion becomes a delightful and calming beverage to sip on before bed. The added benefits of cucumber, with its hydrating and anti-inflammatory properties, further enhance the calming effects of this drink, making it a soothing choice for your evening wind-down routine. This infusion not only helps relax the body and mind but also contributes to overall wellness by improving sleep quality and reducing daily stress.

3. Rosemary & Ginger Reviver

Rosemary is not only a fantastic herb for cooking, but it also has great antioxidant properties. Paired with the zesty kick of fresh ginger, this infusion is perfect for a midday pick-me-up.

Ingredients:

• 1-2 sprigs of fresh rosemary
• 2-3 slices of fresh ginger
• Boombi Mineral Water (chilled)
• 1 tablespoon honey (optional)

Instructions:

1. Add the fresh rosemary and ginger slices to a jug of chilled Boombi Mineral Water.
2. Let it steep in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
3. Sweeten with honey if desired.
4. Serve chilled and enjoy a revitalizing drink!

Why it’s great: Rosemary is more than just a flavorful herb for cooking—it’s packed with powerful antioxidants and has numerous health benefits. Rich in compounds like rosmarinic acid and carnosic acid, rosemary helps to combat oxidative stress in the body by neutralizing free radicals, which can damage cells and contribute to aging and disease. Its anti-inflammatory properties also make it beneficial for reducing inflammation, particularly in the joints and muscles. Additionally, rosemary is known for improving circulation, which can boost energy levels and help reduce fatigue, making it the perfect herb to help rejuvenate the body during midday slumps.

Ginger, meanwhile, is a highly regarded root for its digestive benefits and natural warming properties. It’s widely known for promoting healthy digestion by stimulating the production of digestive enzymes and increasing the movement of food through the digestive tract. Ginger also has anti-nausea properties, making it an excellent remedy for soothing an upset stomach or alleviating morning sickness. Its spicy and invigorating nature provides a natural boost to metabolism, helping to increase energy levels and support overall vitality.

Together, rosemary and ginger create a dynamic, stimulating infusion that offers more than just hydration. The antioxidant-rich rosemary works synergistically with the digestive-boosting and anti-inflammatory properties of ginger to leave you feeling refreshed, energized, and ready to take on the day. When combined with the refreshing and hydrating properties of Boombi Mineral Water, this infusion is the perfect way to rejuvenate your body and mind. Sweetened with a touch of honey, it becomes a naturally energizing, deliciously aromatic beverage that will help you power through your day.
