Tamra Jal... The Ancient Ayurvedic Practice of Drinking Copper Water

Water has always fascinated me, it is obviously not only perhaps number one health in natural health, it's number one in life. We must drink pure, clean water to exist. However after 25 years and counting of research into natural health and the consumption of water, I can say there is no conclusion. Whoever you speak to there will never be an agreement on exactly which water to drink, you can see all the different filters and methods. At the moment I drink Gravity Filtered Water, that I put in a Sacred Geometry Carafe to structure, it's really easy doesn't take more than a couple of minutes out of my day.

There is another method that I have decided to add in. I choose this because I trust the ancient world. There was nothing to sell and function and results came first. I heard of it years ago but went back into the health rabbit hole to learn more about it. I was so amazed I decided to source some vessels to be able to do it for myself and for all of you to do it too. So read on as I tell you all about "Tamra Jal" (Copper Water) what it does, how to create it and my experience.

Ancient cultures around the world have revered copper for its extraordinary healing properties. From the grand temples of Ancient India to the regal courts of the Roman Empire, this precious metal has been used in medicine, tools, and, most importantly, for purifying drinking water. Ayurveda, the 5,000-year-old science of life, refers to copper-infused water as Tamra Jal—a natural elixir believed to bring balance, detoxify the body, and strengthen overall health. Today, modern science is catching up with this ancient wisdom, revealing that drinking water stored in copper is not just a tradition but a scientifically backed practice. If you're looking for a natural, holistic way to enhance your well-being, this could be the simplest and most effective step to take.

The tradition of drinking water from copper vessels dates back thousands of years. In Ancient India, Ayurvedic practitioners recommended storing water in copper pots overnight before consumption. The belief was that this process purified the water and enriched it with essential minerals beneficial for the body. The Egyptians also recognised copper’s antimicrobial properties, using it to sterilise wounds and purify drinking water. Similarly, Greek and Roman civilisations used copper vessels to keep water fresh and to prevent illness. Even in more recent history, copper has been employed to sterilise medical instruments and prevent bacterial growth in hospitals. The revival of Tamra Jal is gaining momentum. With a growing awareness of the contaminants in modern tap water, the use of a copper drinking vessel presents itself as a simple and effective method to enhance one’s health naturally.

The Incredible Benefits of Copper Water (Tamra Jal)

Natural Detoxification for a Cleaner Body: Your body is exposed to toxins daily—from pollution to processed foods and even the plastics in water bottles. Copper water acts as a natural detoxifier, flushing out harmful substances while supporting the liver and kidneys in their essential cleansing functions. Drinking Tamra Jal first thing in the morning stimulates digestion, encourages the elimination of waste, and helps your body operate at its best. Many who regularly drink copper water report feeling lighter, more energetic, and free from bloating or sluggishness.

Powerful Antibacterial & Antimicrobial Properties: Modern research has confirmed what Ayurveda has known for centuries—copper has potent antibacterial and antimicrobial properties. Scientific studies, including research from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), show that copper can effectively eliminate harmful bacteria such as E. coli and Salmonella, making it a natural purifierfor drinking water. By simply storing water in a 99.9% pure copper jug for 6–8 hours, you can eliminate bacteria and reduce the risk of waterborne illnesses. Unlike plastic water filters that can accumulate bacteria over time, copper is self-sterilising, requiring minimal maintenance.

Enhances Digestion & Supports Weight Loss: If you struggle with indigestion, bloating, or acidity, Tamra Jal can be a game-changer. Copper helps stimulate peristalsis (the rhythmic contraction of the digestive tract), aiding in smoother digestion and better nutrient absorption. Additionally, copper can enhance metabolism, encouraging the body to burn fat more efficiently. If you're looking for a natural way to support weight loss, simply switching your daily water intake to copper water could make a noticeable difference.

Supports Joint Health & Reduces Inflammation: One of the lesser-known but incredibly powerful benefits of copper is its ability to reduce inflammation, making it especially beneficial for those suffering from arthritis and joint pain. Copper is essential for the regeneration of cartilage, the tissue that cushions joints. By drinking water from a pure copper jug, you naturally increase your body's copper levels, helping to maintain strong, flexible joints while reducing pain and stiffness.

Strengthens the Immune System: Copper has strong antioxidant properties, helping to combat free radicals, which are responsible for premature ageing and a weakened immune system. By drinking copper-infused water daily, you can enhance your body’s natural defences, making you more resilient against infections, colds, and flu.

Regulates Blood Pressure & Heart Health: Studies suggest that copper helps maintain healthy blood pressure levels and can reduce cholesterol. By supporting proper blood circulation and preventing plaque buildup in the arteries, copper water plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy heart.

How to Make Tamra Jal (Copper Water)

To enjoy the full benefits of copper-infused water, follow these simple steps:

Choose your Vessel: Not all copper vessels are created equal. It’s essential it's made from 99.9% pure copper, free from harmful coatings or impurities.

Fill with Water: Pour clean, filtered water into the jug.

Store Overnight: Let the water sit for at least 6 to 8 hours to allow the copper ions to infuse into the water.

Drink First thing in the Morning: For maximum benefits, consume a glass of Tamra Jal on an empty stomach.

The Correct Dose: Drink only 2-3 glasses a day, I would say keep it under a litre a day. I used 2-3 Glasses with a 300ml capacity. To be exact I used this sacred geometry glass The Golden Jasmina which is on the site, it also structures water, but any decent glass will do.

So not all copper vessels are made to the highest standards. You can find one yourself, maybe smaller, but the fact this is 1.2 litres means you can leave it for a few days worth, just don't put it in the fridge.

A Simple Change for a Healthier Life

I got a Copper Jug for me first, I was curious but sceptical. It seemed like one of those ancient wellness practices that sounded good in theory but might not make much difference in reality. At worst it would have cost me £50 to try out. It's good to try things that are both natural and simple, especially if they have been used for centuries. I got copper jug, filled it with water, and let it sit overnight as recommended. The next morning, I took my first sip, expecting a strong metallic taste. Instead, it was smooth and refreshing. Over the next few days, I started noticing small but significant changes—my digestion felt more balanced, my skin looked a touch clearer, and I had an overall sense of well-being that I can say was a little upgraded. I think I'm probably the worst person to try these things as I'm such a health nut. Really I should have found the sickliest friend I could think of and bought it for them to try out. But the field tested logo I put in pages is real, it's there because I try this stuff out.

Anyway after a few weeks, I realised that drinking Tamra Jal had become a natural part of my daily routine. The detoxifying properties left me feeling lighter, it was a small change with a meaningful impact.I think the water that was already awesome quality got even more cleaned up. Overall if you’re considering trying Tamra Jal, I highly recommend it. It’s a simple, time-tested practice that offers real benefits, and using a pure copper jug ensures you’re getting the full effect. In a world filled with synthetic health solutions, the ancient wisdom of drinking copper water offers a natural, effective, and time-tested approach to well-being.
