Especially in India, Ayurveda always considered nature healing important. Using earthen pot water is one way of living that weaves our lives with goodness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earthen pots, or clay pots, also called matka, have been used extensively for centuries to store water. Drinking water from these pots is believed to provide numerous benefits. However, recent technological shifts in our societies have pushed us away from our healthier roots.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the past few years, attempts have been made to start using earthen pots again. But what does science say about it? Do clay pots really help?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, you\u2019ll learn the many earthen pot benefits, how to use it, when to use it, and a few other interesting facts surrounding it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_History_of_Earthen_Pots\"><\/span>The History of Earthen Pots<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before we humans started using metals like iron, we had gained expertise in using stone and other Earth\u2019s materials. This was the time when stoneware and earthenware were used as cooking utensils, water-storing vessels, etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The current evidence of pit-fired earthenware dates back to 29,000 to 25,000 BCE. As far as the question of earthenware pottery goes, the story goes back to some millennia.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to legends and scriptures, the tale tells that the first earthen pot was made when gods and demons churned the ocean (Sheersagar) for Mahamrita (godly nectar). <sup>[<a href=\"https:\/\/gaatha.com\/matka-the-earthen-pot\/#:~:text=May%208%2C%202013,keeps%20the%20water%20temperature%20low.\">1<\/a>]<\/sup><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from the facts and stories about clay pots, numerous earthen pot benefits must be known.

But how do clay or earthen pots cool the water?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earthen pots are porous in nature. This allows for slow evaporation that brings down the water temperature and cools it down naturally. However, this effect might not be noticeable in glazed ceramic earthen pots because they are non-porous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>Unlike refrigerated water, earthen pot water can even be consumed easily by those suffering from cough and cold <sup>[<\/sup><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/ayushdhara.in\/index.php\/ayushdhara\/article\/download\/707\/620\/1605\"><sup><em>4<\/em><\/sup><\/a><em><sup>]<\/sup><\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_The_Mud_Pot_Soil_Adds_a_Healing_Touch_Of_Vitamins_and_Minerals\"><\/span>2.

But what\u2019s the hype about alkaline water?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The basic nature of the human body is acidic. Although it is natural, too much acidity in the body can lead to numerous health issues. Ayurveda states an imbalance of pitta to be the reason behind the body becoming more acidic. When this goes beyond the bar, health issues peak.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is what one might face with a body wading through hyper-acidity:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The stomach acid rises, the chest burns, and so does the heart<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Nausea and vomiting creep in due to upset stomach and irritated stomach<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>General discomfort or cramping in the belly area takes place<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Excess gas stuffs up the <a href=\"https:\/\/happytummy.aashirvaad.com\/en\/healthy-eating\/what-is-digestion-digestive-system-digestion-problems-and-solution\/\">digestive system<\/a>.

When left uncontrolled, it may lead to ulcers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alkaline water has been presented as an effective solution to counter this. It neutralizes the excess stomach and blesses us with health and healing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few things that science has proven so far about alkaline water:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Alkaline water enhances the acid-base balance and improves hydration levels in the human body <sup>[<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/20836884\/\">7<\/a>]<\/sup><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drinking alkaline water enhanced overall athletic performance <sup>[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC8120973\/\">9<\/a>]<\/sup><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When minerals come in contact with the water stored in the clay or mud pot, they make it alkaline.

Made from natural clay, these pots are biodegradable and have a minimal environmental footprint. Unlike plastic, which often contains harmful chemicals and takes centuries to decompose, earthen pots break down naturally and do not release toxins into the environment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, producing earthen pots does not involve using electricity, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), or other pollutants commonly associated with the manufacture of synthetic materials. By choosing earthen pots, you avoid contributing to plastic pollution and reduce your reliance on electricity and toxic materials, promoting a more sustainable and eco-conscious lifestyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Correctly_Store_Water_in_Earthen_Pots\"><\/span>How to Correctly Store Water in Earthen Pots<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although earthen pot water benefits us to the core, it has been found to be contaminated too in several areas.
