Indians are known to practice ‘Tamara Jal Chikitsa' (Copper Water Therapy). According to ancient Ayurveda, water stored in a copper vessel has the ability to balance all the three 'Doshas' in your body ('Vata', 'Pitta', and 'Kapha'), and it does so by positively charging the water. The water stored in a copper vessel is known as ‘Tamara Jal’ in Sanskrit. The current medical studies also support this ancient Ayurvedic practice.
What exactly happens when water is stored in a copper vessel?
When water is stored in a copper vessel overnight or for over eight hours, a very small amount of positively charged copper ions gets dissolved into the water. This process is called Oligodynamic Effect which has the ability to destroy a wide range of harmful microbes, moulds, fungi etc. The best part about this water is that it never becomes stale and can be stored this way for long periods of time.
Benefits of Drinking Tamra Jal:
1.
Kills the Bacteria
Copper is known to be Oligodynamic in nature (the sterilizing effect of metals on bacteria), and can destroy bacteria very effectively. It is especially effective against E.coli and S.aureus – two bacteria that are commonly found in our environment and are known to cause severe illnesses in the human body.
2.
Prevents Water-Borne Diseases
Known to help prevent common water borne diseases like diarrhoea, dysentery and jaundice, copper has been touted as the cheapest solution to cleaning water in countries that do not have a good sanitation system.
3.
Stimulates Brain and Prevents Seizures
Our brain works by transmitting impulses (or orders) from one neuron to another through an area known as the synapses. These neurons are covered by a sheath called the myelin sheath that acts like a sort of conductive agent – helping the flow of impulses. Copper helps in the synthesis of phospholipids that are essential for the formation of these myelin sheaths. Thereby, making your brain work much faster and more efficiently. Apart from that copper is known to have brain stimulant and anti convulsive properties (prevents seizures), that do a world of good for your brain.
4.
Regulates the Working of the Thyroid Gland
Copper is one of the most important trace minerals the thyroid gland needs to function optimally. A lack in copper can send the functioning of the gland out of sync. So when you drink water from a copper vessel it makes up for this possible deficiency and regulates the functioning of the thyroid gland.
5.
Beats Arthritis and Inflamed Joints
Copper has very potent anti-inflammatory properties. This asset is especially great to relieve aches and pains caused due to inflamed joints – like in the case of arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Apart from that, copper also has bone and immune system strengthening properties, making it the perfect remedy for arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. This is where drinking water infused with copper is a great way to find relief from the aches and pains of these diseases.
6.
Makes Skin Smooth, Blemish Free and Clear
Copper is the main component in the production of melanin (a pigment that mitigates the colour of your eyes, hair and skin) in our bodies. Copper also aids in the production of new cells that help replenish the top most layers of your skin. While melanin helps the body stay safe from sun damage, speeds up wound healing and covers up scars, the production of new cells is a boon for smooth, blemish free and clear skin. Ayurveda experts say that drinking this water on a regular basis, especially early in the morning can be the difference between acne and clear skin.
7.
Fights Free Radicals and Slows down Ageing:
Packed with very strong anti-oxidant and cell forming properties, copper fights off free radicals - one of the main reasons for the ageing – and helps in the production of new and healthy cells, that replace old dying ones. Both these properties make copper a sure-fire way to beat ageing.
8.
Helps the Digestive System to Perform Well
Copper has properties that stimulates peristalsis (the rhythmic contraction and relaxation of the stomach that helps food get digested and move along the digestive tract), kills harmful bacteria and reduces inflammation within the stomach– making it a great remedy for ulcers, indigestion and infections. Apart from that copper also helps cleanse and detox your stomach, regulates the working of your liver and kidneys, aids in the proper elimination of waste and ensures the absorption of nutrients from food.
9.
Aids in Weight Loss
Copper helps your body break down fat and eliminate it more efficiently. Thereby helping your body keep only what it will use and throw out the rest. This keeps a check on your weight, i.e., you loose weight.
10.
Beats Anaemia and Improves Haemoglobin
Copper is an essential component in the entire process of absorbing and using iron present in the body. It helps keep the levels of Haem (iron) up and regulates its flow in your blood vessels. This is one of the reasons that it also helps in keeping anaemia at bay.
11.
Heals Wounds Faster
Known for its immense anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties, copper is a great way to heal wounds quickly. Copper is also known to strengthen your immune system and aid in the production on new cells. Apart from healing the body externally copper is also know to heal the wounds within the body, especially the stomach. All this put together makes copper a very effective healing agent.
12.
Maintains Cardiovascular or Heart Health
Copper helps minimize your risk of developing heart disease. Copper has been found to help regulate blood pressure, heart rate and lowers cholesterol and triglyceride levels. It also helps to prevent the accumulation of plaque and has the documented effect of dilating blood vessels to allow for the better flow of blood to the heart. It also helps lower the triglyceride levels.
13.
Can Fight off Cancer
Copper has very strong antioxidant properties that helps fight off free radicals and negate their ill effects – one of the main reasons for the development of cancer. Studies have shown that copper complexes have a considerable anti cancer effect.
Consumption of water stored in a copper vessel can cure a host of problems. Drink 'Tamra Jal' on an empty stomach every day in the morning to experience these benefits.
