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.

Soaking Walnuts: Does It Really Improve Their Health Benefits? An Ayurvedic Perspective

Many health-conscious individuals have heard about the practice of soaking nuts, particularly walnuts, to enhance their nutritional value. The common belief is that soaking removes certain anti-nutrients, improves digestibility, and boosts their health benefits. But does this claim hold true? Let’s explore both the scientific and Ayurvedic perspectives on soaking walnuts. The Modern Scientific Perspective on Soaking Walnuts One of the main arguments for soaking walnuts is their phytic acid content. Phytic acid can limit the absorption of certain minerals like iron and zinc. This is why soaking is often recommended for grains and legumes, which contain higher levels of this compound than nuts. However, studies on the effectiveness of soaking nuts are inconclusive: Minimal Reduction in Phytic Acid: Research shows that soaking leads to only a slight reduction in phytic acid levels in nuts, and the effect on mineral bioavailability is negligible. Loss of Water-Soluble Nutrients: During so...

Staying Cool and Balanced in July - Ayurvedic tips for July

In the UK, July brings long daylight hours, garden parties, and the promise of summer holidays. But beneath the sunny joy is a climatic and energetic transition. July marks the peak of Pitta season—when the elements of fire and water dominate the environment and our bodies. Understanding and aligning with this shift is key to staying balanced, calm, and radiant throughout the month. 🌤 Climate Shift: From Humid to Dry While the British summer is often unpredictable, July typically starts warm and muggy, especially in the South, and transitions into a drier heat by late month. Early July continues the damp-cleansing process initiated in spring, flushing out the last of winter’s kapha residue. However, by mid to late July, this moisture gives way to dryness, leaving many of us feeling parched, irritated, and fatigued—even if the weather stays mild compared to continental Europe. This shift stresses the body’s cooling mechanisms. Your internal fluids (rasa dhatu) are depleted, and dehydra...
