Zamzam is a sacred water for Muslims, a Miracle when it sprang under the feet of Prophet Ismael when he was a newborn while his mother kept running between Safa and Marwah hills, searching for water. Several studies on the miracle water have been conducted by Egyptian and Saudi Arabian Universities revealing seven interesting facts.
Pathogen Free
The water is free of any contaminating particle or micro-organism like bacteria, virus, of fungi. In an experiment, different samples were taken, they were centrifuged, and placed on agar medium. The cultural plates showed no bacterial colonies.
Lowers Uric Acid
The Sacred water has also been observed to reduce the serum uric acid levels in the blood. The alkaline nature of water might be a contributing factor. University of Heidelberg performed an experiment where drinking Zamzam reduced uric acid levels in the blood (p<0.05). It can be explored as a therapeutic agent for gout.
Lowers Cholesterol level
A three-month study revealed that Aab-e-Zamzam significantly reduces body cholesterol levels and triglycerides as well.
Anti-Fungal Healing Affect
According to the research conducted by Katsina University in Nigeria, Zam zam shows anti-fungal properties as exhibited by anti-fungal drugs.
No Microbial Growth
As per the Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, there was no proof of any biological growth in Zamzam samples.
Minerals-Rich
The miracle water has plentiful minerals including Calcium, Magnesium, Potassium, Vanadium, Iron, Zinc, Cobalt, Copper, Molybdenum, and Sodium. The study was performed by King Abdul Aziz City for Science and Technology.
Anti-Tumor Properties
Zamzam also exhibits anti-tumor properties as studied by Advanced Science Letter. The water shows antioxidant, anti-tumor, anti-depressant, and anxiolytic effects, which are all hallmarks of anti-cancer therapeutic drugs.
Zamzam water holds great significance in the lives of Muslims and studies on the miracle water proves its benefits for the whole humanity.
