Copper Vessel Water: 10 Science-Backed Health Benefits of This Ancient Practice


Remember that old copper jar your grandfather used to drink from every morning? The one you thought was magical as a kid? It turns out that you were pretty close.

Ayurvedic practitioners have sworn by the benefits of storing water in copper vessels for centuries. But is this just another old wives’ tale, or is there something more to it?

Let’s examine the world of copper-infused water and see if we can separate fact from fiction.

The Science Behind the Shine

Copper is more than pretty to look at. It’s a powerful antimicrobial agent. When water sits in a copper vessel, it picks up tiny amounts of copper ions. These ions are like tiny superheroes, zapping harmful bacteria and viruses.

A study published in the Journal of Health, Population and Nutrition found that storing water in copper pots for up to 16 hours at room temperature significantly reduced bacterial contamination. Another study from the University of Southampton showed that copper surfaces could kill 99.9% of bacteria within two hours.

But copper’s superpowers don’t stop there.

The Copper Cascade

Drinking water from a copper vessel might

1. Boost your brain

Copper helps synthesize phospholipids, crucial for myelin sheath formation. Better myelin sheaths mean faster neural connections.

2. Balance your thyroid

 Low copper levels can mess with your thyroid. Copper-infused water might help keep things in check.

3. Ease your aches

 Copper’s anti-inflammatory properties could help with arthritis and joint pain.

4. Smooth your skin

 Antioxidants in copper fight free radicals, potentially reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

5. Calm your gut

 Copper’s antibacterial properties might help with digestive issues.

6. Melt your fat

 Some believe copper water can boost metabolism and aid in weight loss.

7. Build your blood

 Copper helps with iron absorption, potentially beneficial for anemia.

8. Heal your wounds

 Copper’s antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties could speed up healing.

9. Steady your heart

 Copper might help regulate blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

10. Guard your cells

 Some researchers suggest copper’s antioxidant properties could help prevent cancer.

The Copper Comeback

Why are people returning to this ancient practice in a world of high-tech water filters and bottled spring water?

It could be the simplicity. In a complex world, something is appealing about a solution as straightforward as putting water in a special jar.

Or perhaps it’s the connection to tradition. In an age where we’re constantly chasing the next big thing, there’s comfort in embracing a practice that’s stood the test of time.

The Copper Caution

Remember moderation before you rush out to buy a copper vessel. Too much copper can be harmful. The World Health Organization recommends no more than 2 mg of copper per litre of drinking water.

Always use pure copper vessels, not copper-plated ones. And if you have Wilson’s disease or other copper-related health issues, stick to regular water.

The Copper Renaissance

The resurgence of copper vessels is broader than water storage. Copper-based products are booming in the healthcare market.

1. Copper-infused bedsheets and pillowcases claim to reduce acne and promote smoother skin.

2. Copper compression garments for athletes are touted to improve recovery and reduce muscle soreness.

3. Copper-based wound dressings, leveraging copper’s antimicrobial properties for faster healing.

4. Copper-infused socks for diabetics, aimed at reducing the risk of foot infections.

5. Copper door handles and surface coatings in hospitals, fighting the spread of infections.

The innovation continues beyond there. Researchers are exploring copper nanoparticles for targeted drug delivery and copper-based compounds for cancer treatment.

The Copper Question

Are you considering drinking from a copper vessel? It’s not a cure-all. If you try it, be mindful and stick to a balanced lifestyle.

The Copper Conclusion

The story of copper vessels is about reconnecting with ancient wisdom in the modern world and finding simple solutions to complex problems. It may be time to give copper a chance to shine in your life.

Dear Dr. Nayak,
I have stage 3 Chronic Kidney Disease and also too high Calcium levels in my blood.
They tell me that the Calcium is leaking from my bones to the soft organs in my body which
is making the CKD worse fast and my heart is suffering as well, beating too fast.
My doctor said that is because the four glands in my throat are producing too much hormone
and that’s why the Calcium is too high.
I have appointment with a surgeron as they want to remove the glands from my throat but I really
am not happy about it and love the natural medicine instead. Always has.
Anyway this appointment is in September because they are so busy.
So I was hoping that you might give me some advice Dr. Nayak or just suggest generally what you would be doing
in my position.
I would really appreciate if you could do that.
Thank you Doctor
Grace
