Drinking rainwater
Question
According to a Hadith, rainwater is shifa for all diseases. Does this also apply to drinking rainwater which has been taken out from the ground? Because when it rains, the rainwater passes through rocks and is stored underground and taken out through machines for drinking. So is it necessary to collect and drink the rainwater before it falls to the ground or will the underground water also have the same benefits for Shifa?
Answer
Yes. Insha-Allah. What we understand is that shifa is largely and mainly in rain water that touches you directly and taken directly.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Q: What if that same rainwater is filtered and ozonized, will it still have the same benefits of shifa or will it be less beneficial?
A: Insha-Allah it will also be beneficial.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
