Japan's Magnetic Mountain Spring A short history . . . The history of this uniquely remarkable water explains why it has the potential to have such positive health effects. According to geological records obtained in Japan, a sea volcano erupted millions of years ago and rose to the surface, becoming a mountain. This occurred within a geological period when a huge meteorite shower poured down in this region of Japan. As a result, the magnetite from the meteorites bonded with the limestone and granite in the mountain, and created a continuous magnetic environment for the water in this particular mountain. This water has been in the same location, undisturbed and unaffected by time, and many legends have become popular throughout history for those living in this area. One of the earliest dates back to around the 10th century A.D. After a drought that lasted many years, the people prayed for their gods to send rain. Even though their prayers had always been ignored in the past, water began to flow from this mountain and created a natural spring. In the 13th century, the Emperor, who was terminally ill, sought out a place to die. After being brought to the Magnetic Mountain, he was served its "magical waters" daily by the people and was healed. The Emperor then brought this water back to his palace in Kyoto and distributed it to his Court, where health improvement was documented. This water became known as the Emperor's Water. Nothing was ever written about this specific water by the Japanese people, and it remained a secret for centuries. Home | FAQ | History | Research | About Privacy | Disclaimer | Contact
