Some of you have been admiring my copper water bottle. It’s not just a fine looking water bottle, there is a purpose. Firstly, I would not suggest that everyone have a go at drinking copper water. It was recommended to me by my yoga master and an Ayurvedic doctor to aid with iron absorption and as an anti-inflammatory. Here is a bit of information on why we drink from a copper vessel. Remember, you should not drink copper water all day long. ✨ Copper is an essential micro-nutrient and helps with development of body organs, red blood cells, absorption of iron and anti-oxidant just to name a few. ✨ A small amount of copper ions dissolve into the water when stored in a copper vessel for several hours. ✨ Do not drink copper water all day long or all year long. Too much can be toxic. We should already be getting copper in the food we eat and obviously in vitamin supplements if you are taking them. ✨ Drink a small amount for 3 months, then take a break for about a month before another 3 month routine. ✨ Make sure you have a pure copper vessel without other metals mixed in. ✨ Fill you cup, jug or bottle with water and let it rest for 6-8 hours. ✨ Drink a little bit in the morning and again at night. Only a small amount is sufficient. I share with you this information as I find that the routine of taking a small amount of copper water, making better choices with what I eat and an holistic approach to yoga practice has had many health benefits in this season of my life. Ayurveda states that when you drink copper water, it has the ability to balance all three doshas in the body – Vata, Pitta, Kapha. You can read more about ayurveda and the doshas, a great source being a book by Dr Svoboda - Prakriti: Your Ayurvedic Constitution. To your health!
