Copper-charged water increases alkalinity, kills bacteria like E. coli and also increases nerve transmission which prevents diseases," Dr Manoj Kutteri, wellness director at Atmantan Wellness Resort, told a news portal. Adding, "It also helps with endocrine problems like thyroid; deals with arthritis; treats anaemia; heals wounds; helps in the production of melanin (a pigment that prevents skin damage). What's more, copper is known to regulate blood pressure, improve heart rate and keep heart diseases at bay."
