This beautiful handcrafted cup is made of pure copper. Since ancient times, Ayurveda has advocated the benefits of drinking copper water. As per Ayurveda, when you store water in a copper vessel for a span of 4-12 hours (best stored overnight), the water becomes naturally alkaline, which helps balance your body’s pH levels. This happens because the copper vessel positively charges the water and energises it, making the water ‘live’ again. It also leaves it tasting silky smooth. Studies also show that copper has anti-bacterial, anti-microbial and self-sterilising properties. Modern science calls this the oligodynamic effect – the inherently toxic effect of certain metals on pathogens.
