When buying a copper vessel, you need to ensure that it is 100% pure copper if you want to reap the full benefits and avoid exposure to chemicals and other harmful substances.
Copper vessels are one of the
earliest types of vessels ever made after clay vessels. Due to the
positive antibacterial properties of copper, it is still widely used
nowadays in many medical tools, utensils, and water-storing vessels.
Copper Water Bottles are excellent if you are constantly on the move. While they do not store as much water as a pitcher can, they are ideal if you want to switch completely to using a copper vessel for storing drinking water
Ayurveda practitioners refer water stored in copper vessels as 'Tamra Jal' and this copperized liquid serves as a natural oxidant. In addition, copper comes with significant amounts of antimicrobial properties making it ideal for eliminating disease causing bacteria, fungi and viruses.
Nowadays, copper vessels are mainly used for drinking water, as they can sterilize it, alkalize it, and release beneficial copper ions into it. When used for storing acidic drinks (such as cocktails), these copper vessels can be lined with a non-reactive metal to prevent the formation of toxic copper salts.
