Copper Water = Tamra Jal

Copper water, traditionally known as Tamra Jal, has its roots in Ayurveda. It refers to drinking water that has been stored in a copper vessel, a practice that has been part of Ayurvedic tradition for centuries.

Tamra = Copper (Sanskrit)
Jal = Water (Sanskrit)

In Ayurvedic tradition, Tamra Jal is associated with the concept of balancing the three doshas — Vata, Pitta and Kapha — and has long been part of traditional daily rituals.

Prepare Tamra Jal at home:

1. Clean Your Copper Vessel
Before use, rinse your copper vessel thoroughly with lukewarm water. Follow the care instructions provided with your Forrest & Love product and avoid harsh or abrasive cleaning products.

2. Add Fresh Water
Fill the vessel with fresh, still drinking water. Tap water is suitable if it is safe to drink in your area.

3. Let It Rest
Traditionally, water is left to rest in a copper vessel for several hours or overnight. This simple practice has been part of Ayurvedic tradition for centuries.

4. Enjoy Your Tamra Jal
Pour the water into a glass and enjoy it as part of your everyday routine. Tamra Jal is simply still drinking water that has been stored in a copper vessel — bringing an age-old Ayurvedic tradition into modern daily life.

Tips & Precautions:

  • Use your copper vessel only for still drinking water.
  • Do not use it for carbonated drinks, juices, lemon water, tea, coffee, milk or other beverages.
  • Avoid pouring boiling or hot water directly into the vessel.
  • Follow the recommended cleaning and care instructions regularly.
  • Natural changes to the untreated copper interior, such as darkening or patina, may occur over time.
  • If the water develops an unusual taste or smell, empty the vessel and clean it thoroughly before using it again.

Make Tamra Jal part of your daily ritual and bring a timeless Ayurvedic tradition into your everyday life.
