Product detailed description

Ayurveda has advocated the benefits of drinking water from copper vessels since ancient times. Ayurveda states that keeping water in a copper bottle or glass for 8 – 10 hours has a balancing effect on the three bioenergies (doshas) that circulate through the human body (Vata: the air element, Pitta: the fire element, and Kapha: the water element). In addition, water in copper vessels turns into naturally alkaline water, which helps keep the body's pH in balance. 

Due to natural oxidation, copper changes colour over time. This is called patina. The material may also start to show spots. These are natural properties of copper and have no negative effect on drinking from a copper item. Pure copper reacts with oxygen, water and residues in the water, such as sulphur. In practice, this means that the item has a high copper content and purifies water well. Discolouration of the interior is not harmful. If the discolouration becomes too pronounced, you can clean the bottle, jug, water container or cup.

How to wash it?

Do not use harsh cleaning agents or brushes to clean copper items. To clean them, you should use lemon or baking soda. Copper items should be washed by hand, not in a dishwasher.

How much water can I drink per day?

It is recommended to drink 2-3 glasses of water (200ml) daily. The recommended daily copper intake for a healthy person is 12 milligrams per day. Drinking water from a copper vessel at the recommended daily amount of 400ml - 600ml fully meets the body's needs.

How to use copper vessels correctly?

That's exactly what water needs to purify itself and become enriched with the copper element.

How to clean copper vessels

Copper naturally undergoes an oxidation process over time, which makes the metal turn black. In India, a mixture of salt and tamarind was enough to restore its beautiful colour, though tamarind is harder to find here. Here, you can restore the original appearance using lemon juice and salt, which you mix together and use with a soft sponge to clean the surface of the bottle. If that's not enough, add a little vinegar and continue. Finally, rinse thoroughly and dry. Do not wash in a dishwasher and do not use ordinary washing-up liquid to clean it!
Copper vessels in Ayurveda

Ayurveda views water from a copper vessel as one way to balance all three doshas – Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Storing water in a copper vessel acts as a purifying process for the water, thanks to copper's antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, which eliminate the formation of microorganisms and bacteria that could be present in the water. It also helps maintain the body's balanced pH. Drinking water from a copper vessel on an empty stomach in the morning is a traditional way to support metabolism and improve immune system function.

Warning: A change in colour is not a defect; it is a natural process of copper. Do not wash in a dishwasher. Do not use for hot or acidic drinks. Not recommended for people with a copper metabolism disorder. This product is the result of handcrafted work, so minor imperfections such as scratches and marks are not grounds for a complaint.
