Infused water, also known as fruit‑herb water, has roots in many traditional cultures where adding herbs or citrus to water was believed to aid digestion, detoxify the body, and provide subtle flavor without added sugars. Modern wellness trends have popularized it as a low‑calorie alternative to sugary drinks.
