Ayurveda recommends storing water in copper vessels. Benefits of copper according to ayurveda:
- Drinking water from copper cups prevents ageing, vaya-sthapak.
- Copper can destroy undesirable virus and bacteria. When copper dissolves in water, water becomes ionic (electrolyte) as can be ascertained by its pH measurement. That is the reason the micro-organisms get killed in such water. This is called the Oligodynamic effect, as proven by research.
- Water is energized. Taste the water from a copper cup to experience the energized quality of water!
Yogis and traditional households in India have for thousands of years (and are till today) been utilizing a simple, practical and effective method of drinking water in its most holistic way- the copper cup!

First recognized in the 1870's as a normal constituent of blood, copper is a trace mineral that plays an important role in our metabolism,
largely because it allows many critical enzymes to function properly.
Copper plays an important part in the following:
- Iron Utilization
- Elimination of Free Radicals
- Development of Bone & Connective Tissue
- Melanin Production
Oligodynamic effect: Copper has proven to kill bacteria due to what is called the 'oligodynamic' effect.
The oligodynamic effect (Greek oligos = few, dynamis = force) was discovered in 1893 by the Swiss KW Nägeli as a toxic effect of metal-ions on living cells, algae, moulds, spores, fungi, virus, prokaryotic and eukaryotic microorganisms, even in relatively low concentrations. This antimicrobial effect is shown by ions of: mercury, silver, copper, iron, lead, zinc, bismuth, gold, aluminum and other metals.
Certain metals such as copper are known to be far more poisonous to bacteria than others, e.g. stainless steel or aluminum
Contraindication: Pregnant women and people with high levels of copper should not use this product.
Note: Copper darkens naturally over a period of time. You may need to re-polish it periodically for its original appearance Holistic method for cleaning your copper cup:
-make a rudimentary paste out of flour, salt and vinegar. Stir this up, then apply it to the copper. The acid in the vinegar will begin to dissolve the tarnish immediately.
- or- use lime/lemon juice, like soap, to cleanse the copper cup..
