Easy Hack for Controlling Thyroid While Travelling
If you have hypothyroidism and plan to travel during the winter, then this is a must-try hack: always carry a copper bottle of cumin-infused water to help keep your thyroid levels in check.
Why Copper Bottles While Travelling?
- Improves the Agni (digestive fire) composition in your body.
- Prevents constipation during travel.
- Helps avoid motion sickness, especially during long-distance journeys.
How to Use a Copper Bottle Correctly
- Do not use hot water in a copper bottle.
- Use only room temperature or lukewarm water.
- Let the water remain in the copper bottle for at least 8 hours.
- Do not drink water that has been stored for more than 24 hours in a copper bottle—it may cause excess copper leaching.
Health Benefits of Copper Water
- Copper is the only metal with proven antibacterial properties, as seen in copper mine workers who were resistant to cholera in the 1800s.
- The oligodynamic effect allows copper ions to purify water when stored for 8+ hours.
- Copper has antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer, and antioxidant benefits.
- It is vital for hemoglobin formation and cell regeneration, which is why external copper sources are recommended.
Caution!
Do not drink copper-infused water if you are suffering from:
- Acidity
- Frequent loose motion
- Any Pitta-related imbalance
