Storing drinking water in a copper vessel, a traditional Indian practice

Why Tradition Values Storing Water in Copper

September 24, 2021

Water is the most essential element to sustain life. In ancient times, our ancestors and grandmothers followed the practice of storing drinking water in copper vessels overnight before drinking it in the morning.

This is an age-old practice referenced in Ayurveda. In tradition, water kept in copper is valued as fresh, clean and wholesome — a time-honoured ritual passed down through generations.

Copper is a trace mineral the body needs in small amounts, found in everyday foods like whole grains, lentils, nuts and leafy greens. Keeping water in a copper vessel is simply one more part of a traditional Indian kitchen.
