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.

Symptoms and Causes of Leucoderma

Leucoderma also known as Vitiligo is a rare Skin Disease characterized by white spots and patches.The white patch or spot is called as Leucoderma and when it occurs without any preceding disease,it is called Vitiligo.

What causes Leucoderma?

The actual cause of this condition is still unknown, but surely, beliefs like eating unhealthy or wrong food combination like fish and milk, pumpkin and milk, onion and milk, or any citrus or acid foods after milk are not the reasons although toxicity affects somewhere but there are not the prime cause. This problem mainly occurs when the skin stops producing melanin, a skin pigment that protects the skin from harsh sun radiations. This can occur because of following reasons:




a) Pityrosporum orbiculare, the yeast that causes Tinea versicolor which is present on skin in normal  condition and regular maintenance of hygiene rids this skin from this.

b) Excessive Mental Worry.

c) Heredity- Heredity is also a well-recognized causative factor. Vitiligo sometimes has hereditary reasons also. On the other hand hereditary factor is responsible only 10 to 20% of the reason.

d) Weak immune system due to:
      •    Chronic gastric disorders
      •    Insecticide and pesticides in green vegetables can harm immunity and cause Vitiligo.
      •    Jaundice
      •    Presence of parasites in the alimentary canal.
      •    Performance of physical exercise in excessive heat and after taking very heavy meals                                      
      •    Regular stress or sudden trauma
      •    Improper hygiene is considered to be the most acceptable known reason for autoimmunity according to Ayurveda .

e) Lifestyle- Prolonged hours of swimming in chlorinated swimming pools can react over skin and form white spots.
      •    Skin trauma
      •    Sunburn
      •    Burn injuries
      •    Suppression of natural urges
      •    Other illnesses like diabetes, hyperthyroidism and addison's disease.


What are the symptoms of leucoderma?

a) Small White Patch Appear in Beginning - The problem usually starts with a small white spot which later develops into patches. These patches are pale in the beginning, but become whiter and whiter as time passes by due to loss of pigment. As the spots enlarge, they merge into each other and, in course of time, form a very broad patch. In some cases, most of the skin of the body may be covered with white patches.

b) Flat spots that range in color from white to pink to tan and brown appear over the upper arms, chest,back,neck and face.They vary greatly in size,from as small as four to five millimeters in diameter to large areas of confluence.

c) Apart from these signs, some others are given below:

       • Alopecia or loss of hair 
       • Premature graying of hair
       • Along with skin, the hair growing on the affected skin also turns white,
       • Sensitivity towards cold,
       • Weakness and fatigue
       • Skin irritation when exposed to sun's rays or chemicals.
