Drinking Water according to Ayurveda

Drinking approx. 750 ml of water in the early hours of the day keeps the 3 bio-energies i.e., Vata, Pitta and Kapha on track.

According to Ayurveda, drinking 8 prasriti (approximately 768 ml) of water in the early hours of the day during sunrise and before attending nature calls helps channelizing the 3 doshas, viz., Vaata, Pitta and Kapha. It ensures healthy metabolic fire and assures the followers of this regime a lengthy life with a perfect libido.

The water can be stored in metallic vessels like copper, silver etc or even wooden or clay. Water derives healing properties from the containers it is stored in.
- Drinking water from the gold vessel/glass pacifies all the bio-energies and improves vision.
- Water stored in Silver is useful for eyes, sight and pacifies pitta, but increases Vata and Kapha. Therefore, it is not recommended for people of cold temperament.
