Ayurveda has advocated the benefits of drinking water from copper vessels since ancient times. Ayurveda states that when you store water in a copper bottle or mug for 8-10 hours, it has a balancing effect on the three bio-energies (doshas) that circulate through the human body (Vata: air element, Pitta: fire element, and Kapha: water element). Additionally, water in copper vessels turns into natural alkaline water, which helps to balance your body's pH level.

Copper discolors over time due to natural oxidation. This is called patina. The material may also show some stains. These are natural properties of copper and do not negatively affect drinking from a copper object. Pure copper reacts with oxygen, water, and the residues in water, such as sulfur. It actually means that the object has a high copper content and works well to purify the water. The discoloration of the interior is not harmful. If the discolorations become too severe, you can clean the bottle, jug, water tank, or mug.

Do not wash in the dishwasher. Clean with natural soap, a soft sponge, and water at room temperature. Do not expose to direct sunlight.

Our unique copper drinking bottles, jugs, water tanks, and mugs have been handmade in India for centuries. Precisely because it is handmade, each item is unique and may differ slightly from the photo. There may also be irregularities in the material: this is part of the natural properties of copper.
