The answer

Zamzam water is blessed and is the best water on earth. The proof for this is the noble : "Indeed, it is blessed; it is a satisfying food and a cure for illness."

The Hadith: "Zamzam water is for what it is drunk for," means that whoever drinks it for a need will attain it. Scholars and righteous people have experienced this. It is narrated from Ibn Abbas that he said, when drinking Zamzam: "I ask You for beneficial knowledge, abundant provision, and a cure from every illness."

It is recommended, when drinking Zamzam water, to make any permissible supplications one wishes and to drink one's fill of it. However, it is not a condition for water used for (Islamic exorcism/healing) to be Zamzam water.
