History and function
For centuries, copper has been used to make drinking utensils because of its unique properties and health benefits. The history of copper drinking utensils dates back to ancient civilizations, where it was valued for its ability to purify water and promote health.
In ancient cultures such as that of Indian Ayurveda, copper was considered a sacred metal that had a balancing effect on the three bio-energies (doshas) of the body: Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Keeping water in copper cups or bottles was seen as a way to balance these doshas and support overall health.
The effect of copper drinking utensils relies on several factors. First, copper has natural antibacterial properties, purifying water and protecting it from harmful microorganisms. In addition, copper has the ability to ionize water, making it alkaline and helping to maintain the body’s pH balance.
By storing water in copper drinking utensils, such as cups or bottles, users can take advantage of these health benefits and enjoy pure, alkaline water that contributes to their well-being. The combination of ancient knowledge and modern science makes copper drinking utensils a valuable addition to a healthy lifestyle.
