Q: What is Tamra Jal?
A: Tamra Jal is water that has been stored in a pure copper vessel for several hours, typically overnight. This process allows the water to absorb beneficial properties from the copper, which is believed to support digestion, immunity, and overall well-being.
Q: How long should I store water in a copper jug?
A: It is recommended to store water in a copper jug for at least 6 to 8 hours, ideally overnight. This allows the copper ions to infuse into the water effectively.
Q: Can I store any liquid in a copper jug?
A: No, it is best to store only plain water in a copper jug. Acidic liquids such as lemon water, vinegar, or fruit juices can react with copper and may be harmful.
Q: How much copper water should I drink daily?
A: According to Ayurvedic guidelines, drinking one to two glasses of copper-infused water in the morning on an empty stomach is beneficial. However, excessive intake should be avoided to prevent copper toxicity.
Q: How do I clean my copper jug?
A: To clean your copper jug, mix lemon juice or vinegar with salt and rub the surface gently. Rinse thoroughly with warm water. Avoid using soap frequently, as it may strip away the beneficial copper ions.
Q: Why does my copper jug change colour over time?
A: Copper naturally oxidises when exposed to air and water, leading to a greenish or dark patina. This is a natural process and does not indicate damage. Regular cleaning will help maintain its shine.
Q: Can I refrigerate copper water?
A: No, storing copper-infused water in the refrigerator is not recommended. Ayurveda suggests drinking it at room temperature for the best benefits.
Q: Is drinking water from a copper jug safe for everyone?
A: While most people can benefit from drinking copper water in moderation, individuals with Wilson’s disease (a condition causing excessive copper accumulation in the body) should avoid it. If you have any health concerns, consult a doctor before use.
Q: Can I drink copper water throughout the day?
A: Yes, but it is advised to drink it in moderation. Two to three glasses a day is usually sufficient. The rest of your daily water intake can come from regular sources.
Q: How do I know if my copper jug is pure?
A: A pure copper jug will have a reddish-brown colour and may naturally tarnish over time. If the inside is coated or does not develop a patina, it may not be 100% copper.
