Copper bottle flower of life-for a healthier way of life

Here we show you the copper bottle flower of life. For some time, the copper bottle is seen more and more often. However, few know what it has to do with it.
Below you will learn more about the positive properties of drinking from a copper bottle. Our copper bottle Flower of Life holds 750 ml and weighs 480 g.

The origin:

The origin of pouring water into copper vessels can be found in the history of Ayurveda. According to the World Health Organization and recent studies, it is even recommended to take 2 mg of copper per liter of water daily. However, there is no way to ingest too much copper through a copper bottle. Even if water is kept in a copper vessel for a long time, the water will absorb less than 1/20 of the above amount.
If your doctor finds you to be copper deficient, drinking from a copper bottle can definitely help to balance your copper levels. Nevertheless, you should remain under the care of a doctor and, if necessary, consider further measures in consultation.
The copper makes our normal tap water alkaline.

Generally, water has a PH value of 7 or a slightly lower PH value due to impurities.
Alkalized water should have a PH value of 8.5 - 9.5.
This is also called alkaline water. Drinking alkaline water is said to have some positive properties. More about this later. Copper bottles are therefore natural, alkaline water bottles. In order for the copper to be released to the water, a storage period of at least 6-8 h up to an optimal 16 h is recommended. This process is called the alkalization process. At room temperature, the process can be accelerated.

If you are now wondering if the water tastes like copper?

On the one hand, this is certainly relative and depends on how pronounced and sensitized your sense of taste is. On the other hand, it is also a matter of getting used to it. Strictly speaking, however, the water tastes pure, clear and fresh. You will most likely notice a difference if you store tap water in your copper bottle for several hours. Experience has shown that tap water is less alkaline and more difficult to clean. However, you can also fill filtered or purchased still water (table water).

Now let's move on to the positive features related to drinking from copper bottles:

• It is said that copper can lower blood pressure and positively influence the cardiovascular system.
• It is also said to prevent cancer.
• Furthermore, it can positively influence arthritis and relieve pain in inflamed joints.
• Digestion can be positively stimulated and thereby also the function of the thyroid gland.
• Furthermore, there is a widespread belief that drinking from copper bottles slows down the aging process. In addition, it is said to stimulate brain power and thus slow down Alzheimer's disease and, accordingly, reduce the risk of strokes.
• If you believe the lore from Ayurveda, alkaline water supports weight loss.

We exclude any liability. The properties described here are attributed to drinking from copper vessels. However, this does not constitute any guarantee of the mode of action or cure of certain diseases.

Key Facts copper bottle flower of life:

Our copper bottles are made of pure copper. Extreme caution should be taken when copper bottles have only been coated with lacquer on the inside. This can be extremely toxic. Our copper bottles are produced by the same supplier who produces our organic textiles. It is IOAS approved and is also subject to the controls of the GOTS certification body.

Tips for the care of the copper bottle Flower of Life:

From the inside:

Initially, it is recommended that you clean your copper bottle with warm water before the first use. Due to the fact that copper oxidizes through use, you should disinfect your bottle with citric acid once a week. Therefore, you fill 1 teaspoon of citric acid with hot water in the bottle and let this act for some time (about 5 min.). You will then notice that your bottle shines like new.

Exterior:

Externally, you should also clean the bottle with citric acid, take a slice of lemon, sprinkle salt over it and then rub your copper bottle with it. Alternatively, it has also proven to moisten the bottle and then rub it with baking soda and let it soak in.

Patina:

Over time, your copper bottle will tarnish inside and out. This is a natural process. This happens due to a reaction of oxygen with carbon dioxide and moisture. Your bottle will become dull and the surface will turn dark. If this process takes place over a long period of time, or if there is a high level of humidity, your copper bottle will change color accordingly. Consequently, it will be covered by a brilliant green. This is called patina or rust. You can continue to drink from it, this has no effect on the quality.

verdigris:

Unfortunately, patina is often referred to as verdigris. However, this is not correct. Because verdigris is a chemical reaction of acetic acid and copper. However, verdigris is toxic on the one hand and attacks the copper on the other. In the event that verdigris has formed - then you can only part with your bottle or use it as a vase, to collect coins or similar purposes.

Don'ts:

In this respect, refrain from pouring milk, juices or carbonated drinks. On the one hand, this does not correspond to the Ayurveda philosophy. On the other hand, all drinks can react with a hint of lemon, so that a sinking feeling in the stomach up to nausea arises. Likewise, you should also refrain from filling with essential oils. Depending on the nature of the essential oil, this could otherwise attack the copper.

Likewise, your copper bottle Flower of Life should not be put in the dishwasher. On the one hand, it would lose its luster, and on the other hand, it would invalidate the ayurvedic effect. Just like our cork mats, copper is antibacterial and self-cleaning. You can read more about this in our blog post "13 good reasons to drink from a copper bottle.”
