Why & how I use my copper water bottle
Did you know that copper water bottles are a beautiful alternative to plastic reusable bottles? I have been using them on and off for years, as I never found a good one until now. I found them hard to clean, or started to react if I drank them on an empty stomach, because of the metals used. Now I use my copper bottle like a queen, and I want to share it with you, too. Here’s the clean, safe, Ayurvedic way 👇🏽
How to use a copper water bottle (tamra jal)
- Use pure copper only.Good weight, no plastic lining, no weird coating inside.
- Charge the water, don’t overdo it.
- What NOT to put in it
- Rotate intelligently
How to clean it (so it stays medicine, not murky)
Think gentle, regular, natural. Copper tarnishes; that’s normal. We clean it, we don’t battle it.
After each day of use
- Rinse with warm water.
- Let it air dry with the lid off.
Every 2–3 days (regular clean)
Choose one of these:
Option 1 (classic):
- ½ lemon juice + 1–2 tsp fine salt (or baking soda).
- Add a little warm water, swirl well for 20–30 sec.
- Rinse thoroughly.
Option 2 (if no lemon):
- 1–2 tsp baking soda + warm water, shake, rinse.
Once a week (deep clean)
- 1–2 tbsp vinegar or lemon juice
- Soak 5–10 minutes (not hours).
- Use a soft bottle brush if needed.
- Rinse very well.
- Dry completely, lid off.
Never do this
- ❌ No dishwasher.
- ❌ No bleach or harsh chemicals.
- ❌ No steel wool / harsh scrubbers inside (they scratch, increase corrosion).
- ❌ Don’t leave water sitting in it for days forgotten in a corner.
When to replace / pause
- If you see green/blue corrosion inside, pitting, flaking → deep clean once; if it doesn’t shift, retire it.
- If the water tastes intensely metallic or makes you nauseous → stop, clean, reduce exposure, reassess.
