Yogi & Yogini Copper cup hammered set 4 x 250ml 1pc

The pure copper mug with handle is handmade in India and is used in traditional Ayurveda to purify and store water. It will last you for many years, making it an ecological and sustainable product that is also kind to nature.

Copperware is used for clean still water. Simply fill it in the evening before bed and let it stand. Drink the water in the morning after waking up. The mug is not suitable for acidic drinks (juices), which could chemically react with copper. We also do not recommend using the mug for hot drinks and teas, as the copper heats up significantly and you could burn yourself. The mug should be handled with care given that it is a soft metal.

How to clean a copper mug

Copper naturally undergoes an oxidation process over time, which causes the metal to turn black. In India, to restore the beautiful colour, it was enough to use a mixture of salt and tamarind, which, however, is hard to find in our country. Here, you can restore the original appearance using lemon juice and salt, which you mix and use with a soft sponge to clean the surface of the bottle. If this is not enough, add a little vinegar and continue. Finally, rinse thoroughly and dry. Do not wash in a dishwasher and do not use ordinary dishwashing products for cleaning!

Copper vessels in Ayurveda

Ayurveda views water from a copper vessel as one of the ways to balance all three doshas - Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Storing water in a copper vessel acts as a purifying process for the water, thanks to copper's antibacterial and antimicrobial properties, which eliminate the formation of microorganisms and bacteria that may be present in the water. It also helps maintain a balanced pH of the body. Drinking water from a copper vessel in the morning on an empty stomach is a traditional way to support metabolism and improve immune system function.

Warning: Discolouration is not a defect, it is a natural process of copper. Do not wash in a dishwasher. Do not use for hot or acidic drinks. Not recommended for people with a copper metabolism disorder. The product is handmade, therefore minor imperfections such as scratches and stains are not grounds for complaint.
