About Copper Healer
Copper Healer is a small online shop that sells pure copper drinkware and a handful of other copper pieces, sent from India. Most of our buyers are in the United States. Shipping is free worldwide. I am Akshat Goel. I started the shop and I still run it.
Who runs Copper Healer
I live in Kanpur, India, and the shop is run from here. I have no formal degree in this; most of what I know I taught myself, through a long personal practice of classical yoga, meditation and the Agnihotra fire ritual.
That practice made me look hard at the metal my water sat in, and at the copper pot the fire needs. The shop grew out of looking for pieces I was happy to use myself. I still use our copper at home every day.
My own page has the longer story and what I look at on each kind of piece: Akshat Goel, founder of Copper Healer.

How our pieces are made and checked
The bottles, pitchers, carafes, glasses, neti pot and Agnihotra pot are made by traditional coppersmiths in Uttar Pradesh, India. They start from a flat sheet of pure copper and shape it by hand. On the hammered pieces the dimples are struck by hand too, so two bottles from the same day never carry quite the same pattern. Our drinkware is unlined, with no lacquer or coating inside.
I deal with the workshops myself, with no agent in between. I go there, look over the copper sheets before they are cut, and inspect finished pieces before orders are packed.
Some differences are part of handwork and stay: hammer marks vary, and the weights on the product pages are approximate. Copper also darkens with use. Lemon and salt, or diluted vinegar, followed by a rinse and a dry, bring the colour back.
The bracelets, coasters, dog bowl and sling bag each have their materials and measurements listed on their own product page.
