How Copper water is beneficial for Leucoderma Patients ?

During childhood days as we see our grand parents storing water in a copper vessel overnight.  They would have us drink it first thing in the morning, claiming that the water was extremely healthy for the mind and body. These things are really great for health especially for skin. Now when we see these ancient customs re-emerging, we look back and think, we should have taken our grandparents advice seriously.

Copper is considered an essential mineral for our body.  It has very strong antioxidant properties that helps fight off free radicals and negate their ill effects. Copper oxidizes naturally and needs to be cleaned at regular intervals. Drinking water in copper vessel is very beneficial for healthy body or skin. Do You Know? This ancient method is also used to treat skin problems like Leucoderma or Safed Daag.

Ayurveda recommends storing water overnight in a copper jug and drinking it first thing in the morning for maintaining good health.  The water stored this way is called ‘Tamra Jal’ and it helps to balance all three doshas (Kapha, Vata and Pitta). The metal copper has electromagnetic energy which is called Prana Shakti. Drinking water that is stored for 8-10 hours in a copper vessel is very beneficial.  Copper makes the water ionic which helps to maintain body’s pH (acid-alkaline) balance.

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. Apart from that 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 make a huge difference to your skin. This ancient method will also help in treating the symptoms of Safed Daag . If you are suffering from the symptoms of Safed Daag , drinking copper rich water  is very beneficial for you.
