Discover the Health Benefits of Drinking Water from Clay Pots, Earthen Pots, and Matkas
In today's fast-paced world, embracing traditional practices can lead to better health and sustainability. One such practice is storing and drinking water from clay pots, also known as earthen pots or matkas. At Anand’s Pottery, we craft high-quality clay water bottles and terracotta dispensers that naturally cool, purify, and alkalize your drinking water—perfect for health-conscious families.
Embrace Tradition for Modern Wellness
Since 1996, Anand’s Pottery, a family-run studio in Bengaluru, has been dedicated to creating handcrafted terracotta water dispensers and clay bottles. These products blend age-old Indian traditions with contemporary health needs, offering both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits for natural hydration.
Why Choose Clay Pots for Storing Water?
Storing water in clay pots offers numerous advantages:
-
Natural Cooling: The porous nature of clay allows water to evaporate, cooling it naturally without the need for refrigeration.
-
Natural Filtration: Clay acts as a natural filter, removing impurities and improving water quality.
-
Mineral Enrichment: Clay pots can enrich water with essential minerals like calcium, magnesium, and iron, promoting better health.
-
Alkaline Water: Water stored in clay pots tends to be more alkaline, helping to balance the body's pH levels.
-
Eco-Friendly: Using clay pots reduces reliance on plastic bottles, contributing to environmental sustainability.
Real-Life Family Rituals
Families across India are rediscovering the benefits of using clay pots for water storage. For instance, the Sharma family from Pune shares, "My kids actually drink more water now. They love the mild, natural taste, and I love knowing it's healthy." In the evenings, the family gathers around their 8L terracotta water dispenser, enjoying the naturally cooled water together.
Styling Your Space with Terracotta
Terracotta products are not only functional but also add a rustic charm to your home:
-

-

-

Caring for Your Clay Water Pot
Maintaining your clay water pot is simple:
-
Regular Cleaning: Rinse with warm water weekly and scrub gently with a soft brush to remove any sediment.

Avoid Soap: Refrain from using soap, as it can leave residues in the pores.
-
Removing Deposits: If you notice white mineral deposits, soak the pot in a solution of water and vinegar for 30 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
