FAQ
About the product
What is Vijaysar?
Vijaysar (Pterocarpus marsupium), also called Indian Kino, is a hardwood tree named in the classical Ayurvedic texts as a rasayana. Its heartwood has traditionally been shaped into vessels for the overnight water practice.
Is the wood treated?
No. Unpolished, untreated, nothing added.
Why does the water turn amber?
That’s the heartwood colouring the water — and the simplest proof you have genuine wood.
How long does one glass last?
[___ months] with daily use. Replace it when the water stops taking colour.
Is it safe to drink from?
Yes — it’s untreated food-safe hardwood used traditionally for exactly this. Rinse before first use.
Care
How do I clean it?
Water only. Air-dry upright. No soap, no detergent, no dishwasher.
There’s a fine line in the wood. Is it faulty?
Natural wood moves. Fine surface lines are characteristic of genuine heartwood. If a glass leaks, contact us — see our returns policy.
Can I put hot water in it?
No. Room-temperature drinking water only.
