Abstract	Traditional medicated waters derived from medicinal plants have been used across diverse cultures to support vitality, digestion, immunity, and systemic balance. This narrative review examines four botanicals—Nasturtium officinale, Podophyllum peltatum, Pulsatilla vulgaris, and Aloe capensis—with emphasis on their nutritional profiles, bioactive constituents, and traditionally reported health benefits. Key thematic areas include digestive health, immune modulation, metabolic regulation, hormonal balance, and skin health. Additionally, traditional claims related to energy restoration, blood purification, and glycemic control are summarized. The findings are drawn from ethnobotanical literature and experimental observations and are presented for academic and educational discussion only.
