how to make water alkaline ayurveda
Hello Life helper, I am interested in Ayurveda and I heard that alkaline water has many health benefits. I need your guidance on how to make alkaline water in the Ayurvedic way.
Certainly, I'd be glad to help! Ayurveda emphasizes the intake of natural and balanced food and beverages to maintain optimal health. To alkalise water, one method suggested by Ayurveda involves the use of a copper vessel. Fill a copper vessel with water and let it sit overnight. The copper has properties that naturally increase the alkalinity of the water.
Interesting, I have a copper pot at home. Should I boil the water first or is it safe to use direct tap water?
Most tap water is treated but you might want to boil it first to be safe, especially if water quality is an issue where you live. Let it cool down to room temperature before pouring it into the copper vessel.
Got it, use boiled and cooled down water. How long should water remain in the copper pot?
Ayurveda practitioners suggest leaving the water in the copper vessel for at least 6 to 8 hours. It is often recommended to fill the vessel at night and drink the water first thing in the morning.
Excellent! I'm going to try this method for sure. Thanks for your directions, Life helper.
You're welcome! Always glad to help. Remember, as with anything, moderation is key. Drinking too much copper-infused water can lead to a surplus of copper in your body, which can cause adverse effects. One to two cups in the morning is usually enough. Enjoy the journey to better health.
