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
In such cases, consult an Ayurvedic physician before using copper water therapy.
