Drinking Copper water - An Ayurveda perspective

Ayurveda recommends a simple, practical and effective method of drinking water in its

most holistic way – drinking water from a copper cup.

Copper Water

Copper is known to be far more poisonous to bacteria than others, e.g. stainless steel or aluminum.

Storing water only for about three hours in a copper jug can kill harmful bacteria.

Drinking a glass of room temperature water washes the gastrointestinal tract, flushes the kidneys,

and stimulates peristalsis (Peristalsis is a series of wave-like muscle contractions that moves food to

different processing stations in the digestive tract).

Copper is a good tonic for the liver, spleen, and lymphatic system and helps in curing anemia.

The health benefits of copper include proper growth, utilization of iron, enzymatic reactions,

connective tissues, hair, eyes, aging and energy production.

Copper melts away the excess fat. Copper water helps in maintaining digestive health, reduces fat

and alleviates excess obesity.

How to make copper water:

To make copper water, pour water in the copper cup and leave it overnight. When water

is kept for a specific time period in the copper glass, it kills the undesirable bacteria and

viruses and the resultant water gets charged with the health benefitting qualities of the copper.

Drink it as soon as you get up in the morning. You can also use your copper cup to drink

water from it at all times. It’s recommended to drink the water at room temperature.

The copper cups should not be stored in fridge.

How to keep your copper utensils clean:

Copper darkens naturally over a period of time.

The copper cup oxidizes with water and requires cleaning from time to time.

Use lemon juice or tamarind to rub the utensils. Leave it for few minutes and wash with water.
