Why Tamra Jal?
Drinking water stored overnight in a copper vessel is one of the oldest wellness rituals in Indian homes.
Copper stimulates peristalsis and eliminates harmful bacteria — supporting a healthy gut.
Copper helps produce white blood cells and fight infections naturally.
Copper produces melanin and collagen — keeping skin firm and radiant.
Helps regulate blood pressure, cholesterol, and heart rate.
Supports the liver and kidneys in flushing toxins and neutralising acidity.
Ayurveda links Tamra Jal with improved brain function and focus.
The Tamra Jal Morning Ritual
Fill with clean, filtered water each evening. Fill to the brim and close the lid securely.
Leave undisturbed for 6–8 hours minimum. Copper ions infuse gradually — max 12 hours.
Drink 1–2 glasses on an empty stomach. Wait 30 minutes before eating or eating anything else.
Rinse with plain water and dry immediately. Clean weekly with lemon and salt. Never air-dry.
Cleaning & Care
🍋 Lemon & Salt
Rub a lemon half dipped in salt on the surface. Leave 2–3 min. Rinse and dry immediately.
🌿 Tamarind Paste
Apply tamarind paste, rub gently, rinse, dry. Excellent for heavy tarnish.
🥶 Vinegar & Salt
Mix equal parts, apply with soft cloth, leave 5 min, rinse well, dry.
🍼 Daily Rinse
Rinse with warm water after each use. Dry immediately — never air-dry or leave water inside.
❌ Never use: dishwasher, bleach, steel wool, or harsh chemicals.
🎨 Lacquer / Meena (Resin) Coated Vessels
Special CareLacquer or Meena (enamel resin) coating gives your copper vessel its beautiful colour and design. With the right care, this coating stays vibrant for years — but it needs gentler handling than plain copper.
🧹 How to Clean
Wipe gently — Use a soft, damp microfibre cloth. Wipe the outer surface lightly in circular motions. Never scrub.
Mild soap if needed — Add a drop of mild dish soap to lukewarm water. Dip a soft sponge and gently clean the outside. Avoid the coated areas with pressure.
Rinse carefully — Rinse with slow-running lukewarm water. Do not submerge or soak.
Pat dry immediately — Use a soft dry cloth. Pat gently — do not rub or wring. Never air-dry as moisture weakens the bond between coating and copper.
✨ Care Tips to Make the Coating Last
Prolonged UV exposure fades Meena colours and can crack resin coatings. Store in shade or a cupboard.
Do not place near stoves or in hot environments. Extreme heat softens and peels the lacquer.
Coating chips on impact. Place on soft surfaces and avoid dropping. Never stack without padding between vessels.
Store in a cool, dry place. Humidity trapped inside causes coating to lift from edges over time.
Light, regular wiping prevents buildup. Heavy scrubbing to remove old grime causes more damage than the grime itself.
If the vessel has uncoated copper parts, polish only those areas with lemon & salt. Keep polishing agents away from the coated design.
⚠️ Never Do This With Coated Vessels
- Use the dishwasher — heat and detergent strip the coating completely
- Use lemon, tamarind, or vinegar on coated surfaces — acids dissolve the lacquer
- Scrub with steel wool, abrasive sponge, or rough cloth
- Soak in water — prolonged exposure lifts the coating from edges
- Use bleach, chemical cleaners, or polishing powders on the coated area
- Microwave or heat the vessel — coating releases fumes when overheated
