There are 6 food nutrients that we require for our body - Carbohydrates, Fat, Protein, Vitamins, Water and Minerals. Vitamins & Mineral are micro nutrients. This means that they are required in tiny amounts but they are essential and cannot be ignored. Copper is among one of the minerals that is essential for our body as trace elements and this mineral assists with metabolizing fuel, making red blood cells, regulating neurotransmitters, and mopping up free radicals. So, water dissolved in any copper utensil is sufficient and that's the reason, this association with the neti has been fixed to ensure that there should not be deficiency of this element in our body. But if copper neti pot cannot be made possible, that's o.k. We have this deficiency of copper fulfilled by our foods like nuts and seeds and green vegetables like spinach. Or you can purchase copper jug and use the water of the copper container.
