Benefits of Pure Metals
The Science of Metal
The Power of Pure Metals
For millennia, Indian tradition has recognized copper, brass, and bronze as instruments of wellness.
Tamra, Pital, and Kansa are not merely metals, they are carriers of prana, purifiers of anna, and instruments of wellbeing.Charaka Samhita, Ancient Ayurvedic Text
In the Ayurvedic tradition, the vessel in which food is prepared and served is considered just as important as the food itself. Different metals interact with food and water at a molecular level, imparting trace minerals and creating subtle chemical changes that benefit the body.
