These copper water bottles are not only very stylish and more environmentally friendly than plastic, but are also an important part of an Ayurvedic health routine. Ayurveda recommends drinking from a copper bottle, and modern science supports many of the health benefits.
Copper is an essential mineral for the body and is difficult to supplement in the diet because foods containing copper contain only small amounts. When drinking water from a copper water bottle, the water absorbs the copper and nutrients. Benefits that have been researched include: improved immunity and digestion, increased metabolism and balanced pH levels. Furthermore, scientific studies have shown that copper removes bacteria and impurities from water through its anti-microbial properties.

Cleaning and maintenance
It is best to clean a copper bottle with lemon juice. Squeeze half a lemon into a bottle and mix it with a tablespoon of salt and 1 to 2 cups of warm water. Shake the bottle well, pour out the liquid and rinse with water.
Real copper can develop a natural tarnish, especially when exposed to moisture. This deposit is not rust and it is completely removable. To remove this you can use copper polish or a natural cleaning agent and a soft cloth. Wash the bottle with soap and water before using it again. Lemon juice also works well, and is completely natural!
