Copper bottle, made in India, with copper handle and anti-drip system. When water is stored in a copper container overnight or for more than eight hours, a very small amount of copper ions dissolve in the water. This process, known as the oligodynamic effect. It is recommended to fill using only natural or filtered water. Do not fill it with smoothies, infusions or any other drink. Keep the water in for at least 6 hours or overnight to get the most benefits. Drink a glass of water first thing in the morning and the rest during the day. Remember that as a therapy you should not drink water from this copper bottle throughout the year. Once you start using the bottle you can continue this practice for 3 months and then take a break for 1 month. After the break, you can continue drinking water again for the next 3 months. This gives your body time to remove any excess copper deposited on it. Pure copper possesses the natural characteristic of permanent oxidation over time that results in natural dark patterns and a rustic look. These are not stains and it is only a sample of purity. It is natural and an inherent property of pure copper. Soak the bottle with a solution of lemon juice or vinegar, salt and water and let it take effect for a while, you will see how the natural stains of the copper are cleaned and the orange tone of the copper begins to shine. You can then wash the bottle with dish soap and rinse it. Never use scourer or anything that could scratch the copper
