Distilled water has had virtually all dissolved minerals and impurities removed by boiling and condensation, leaving essentially pure H₂O. It provides perfect hydration with no sodium, calcium, or fluoride. It is used in laboratory, medical, and appliance contexts (steam irons, humidifiers) and is safe to drink, though it tastes flat due to the absence of dissolved minerals that give tap and spring water their flavour.
Not recommended as a primary drinking water source for long-term use as it provides none of the minerals (calcium, magnesium, fluoride) present in tap or mineral water. Useful for making infant formula where tap water hardness is a concern — consult healthcare guidance.
