Benefits Of Drinking Water from Earthen Pot

1. Natural cooling properties 

Storing water in an earthen pot aids the natural cooling of water. The earthen pot has tiny pores on the surface when water reaches tiny pores water evaporates quickly through pores. When water evaporates the heat of the water inside the pot is lost, which lowers the temperature of the water. 

2. Alkaline in nature 

Most of what we eat becomes acidic in the body which creates toxins. Clay is alkaline in nature which interacts with acidic foods and provides an adequate pH balance. Thereby keeping the acidity and gastric-related problem at bay.

3. Boosts metabolism

Water stored in a clay pot is free of any kinds of chemicals. Earthern pot has lots of minerals which keep getting dissolved in water slowly which can help in improving our digestion. Thus it can boost our metabolism.

Earthern pots are environment friendly as compared to drinking water in plastics as we all know that plastic does not decompose and causes more pollution. In contrast, earthen pots are created from mud and when these earthen pots break or we want to replace them then they are easily recycled by breaking them and again mixing those particles in the 7-8 types of clay, and again a new clay pot can be created out of it.

8. Cheaper than plastic bottles

Clay pots can be used for many years if they are cleaned and maintained properly from time to time.  When handled in the right manner these pots are quite durable.
