In mud pot there is water leakage for the cooling of water The leaking water helps the inner water in mud pot to cooled

[@abatra006]

Some of the claims with clay pot are just BS, but drinking room temp water is better than ice cold water, you just need to get used to it. Also from clay pot you get some minerals and vitamins like b12. Clay pot will get a little wet, that's how it keeps it cool, think of it as sweat for clay pot but it should not leak.

My grandma always says that drinking cold water from a fridge, when you are feeling hot can give you sore throat but mud pot doesn't. And SERIOUSLY keep some glucon-D at home... It can save your life someday. Also by tender coconut we mean real green coconut... We don't go for the bottled stuff. Real Coconut water will immediately cool you down.

[@PriyaPatel-lx6mj]

You have to fill water and change it every day for 2 to 3 day in mud pot when its new this will help you get rid of the muddy taste and smell and when you start using it daily you have to wast interior properly befor filling if and if you want to make it little extra cold just warp a piece of cotton cloth on outside of the pot so water will be bit more chilled Nice video your doing pretty much the indian way in summers

[@jayendrang]

1. Dude you have to buy mud pot that used for storing water, the pot you bought used to prepare food. Tell them next time (Thaneer Mun Paanai) when you buy next time you gonna use for store drinking water.. You have buy some sack or something fill it with river sand and keep the pot on top of it. Also keep the river sand wet so the pot stays cool all the time, please dont drink that water not more than 2 days. 2. Watermelon, fresh tender coconut mixed with palmyra fruit/aloe vera homemade butter milk seasoned with (asafetida, greenchilli, cumin and mustard seeds ) , castor oil bath once in 2 weeks, wet towel on window works but it stinks after sometime :P.

[@pramedhindra5560]

you asked about cow dung bath as far as i know no one takes cow dung bath but in villages when huts have mud floors mixture of cow dung with water is used to smear floors with it when dried it works as antiseptic in that way it reduces the numbers of flies insects etc sitting on the floor and inside the house

[@karthiknunna4309]

You have to set the mud pot on sand so that sand will observe the water percolating out side the pot.

[@madhan8512]

The new mud pot must be seasoned at least 2 to 3 days with first cleaning it and keeping water inside for 1 day, removing the water and adding new water the 2nd day and changing the 3rd day also. after this only you can use the water from the mud pot. i.e. after 4 days.

so apparently pots are made in a way that they kinda leak water to wet themselves to cool the water inside them through evaporation and wrapping it in wet cloth make water more chilled because of it and you could expect a glass full of water dripping out over a period of 24 hours

pots have very tiny pores on them from where the water seeps through out and slowly evaporates. This evaporation causes cooling effect in the surface....since u covered the bottom with a stainless steel vessel the water vapour is trapped and is condensed back to liquid...that's what u see water without hole in the pot.....clay pot cooling is very scientific (we studied it in Heat and Mass transfer at my engineering level study)

Try the castor oil for hair. Cover your windows with thick cover rather black. Ice cold water can get your temp low but i feel it's just feeds your thirst and body temperature temporarily.

[@kenshinhimura8133]

Hey, Ben. The body regulates temperature around a certain range. So, I wouldn't suggest using a thermometer as a tool to measure cooling foods as that is not scientific in the least(to be clear I'm saying its not the scientific way of using a thermometer because temperatures are going to be same unless you have hypothermia or a fever). The best way to check the cooling effect of food is how you are feeling, less tired or less perspiration things like that. Thermometers will only show you a temperature around 37 degrees even if you are in a really hot environment or you ate something you really hot. If thermometer shows a higher temperature its not because of those factors but because you have a fever. I got worried when the thermometer showed 39.8 degrees as that shows extreme fever, I'm sure that must have been an error.

[@anathapadmanabhaswamyshank1465]

Well for the mud pot I must spread a mud from from the river bank and place the pot on top of the spreader mud

[@sumitron2k]

So about chillies ... redchilles are used in extremely hot places ... it acts as a blood thinner as you can get dehydrated in extreme heat ... keeps clots etc .. nothing to do with pain and shit.... ice cold water is okay but can shock your body with extreme temp difference... pot gives a soothing slight colder water. Also test another thing .. a glass of water satiates ur thirst better than ice cold and see if that’s is your personal experience as well.

Coconut water reduces your internal temp. You have to have it early morning, though. Also ask for ONLY water, even if it's slightly salty, that's the most cooling. Unless you ask for it, most vendors might just give the sweeter version! Since you're in a small town, you can get "vettiver" & drop it in the water pot. It's very cooling, & healthy! Also get Sarasaparilla syrup, we have it regularly in summers. Add juice of half lemon, add sugar & sarasaparilla syrup, " nannari surbath" in Tamil. Go for an authentic ayurvedic brand, else you might get the artificially flavored ones. Amazingly cooling. As an alternate to using the a/c, tie a clothesline connecting your windows, drape wet bed sheets on them on 2 sides, sleep in the middle with the ceiling fan on... will act like an air cooler. Also apply a DROP of castor oil to both big toes , let it get absorbed... wonderful cooling agent. Apply gingerly/ sesame oil, wait for 15 minutes & then have bath, very cooling. Be careful, might lead to a summer cold if you're not used to it. Many more simple cooling aids. Here's a little secret no one will tell you - place a spoonful of cooked rice in a small vessel or mud pot. Before going to bed, fill it up with water. Next day morning, drink that water. Wonderfully cooling & probiotic !

[@suryakiranpothuraju8714]

Why is water leaking from your mud pot? Yes, it must leak in order to cool water inside. Evaporative cooling works by removing the high-velocity tail of the kinetic energy distribution. That is, only the fastest molecules escape the liquid, leaving the rest to thermalize at a lower temperature. If there is capillary action taking water to the outside of the pot and that is evaporating, then the pot cools down as it is losing heat to the leaving molecules' kinetic energy. This then cools down the water inside by conduction. Mud or clay pot is usually recommended to place on sand, so that sand observes leaking water.
