Know how healthy it is to drink water from an earthen pot commonly called 'matka'

Drinking water from earthen pots or matka has been an age-old tradition in India but refrigerators have replaced them mostly in urban cities. However, there are many benefits of drinking water from them instead of chilled water from the fridge.

Prevents from heat stroke

Water from matka increases our metabolism and balances the body’s glucose level. This protects us from heat stroke.

Helps in digestion

According to experts, alkaline properties of earthen pots aid in better digestion. Drinking water from pots also reduces inflammation in digestive tract and treats problems like bloating and constipation.

Good for skin

Water stored in a matka is filled with nutritional minerals which are beneficial for skin health.

This is the reason why experts advise stocking fresh water every day in the pot for effective results.
