While inhibiting superbug infections was probably not within the Ayurvedic purvey, modern research has once again proven that the ancient science of Ayurveda – dating back over five thousand years – maintains a level of efficacy not well understood by conventional medicine. There is a growing trend of copper usage in healthcare setup[0]. Earlier, it used to be Aluminium[1].
It is welcome sign. However, we need this education to reach to common Indians who have forgotten the tradition!!
While our generation is busy in mocking and laughing on every minute ritual our forefathers were following for centuries (under the influence of movies released recently), world is inventing utility of our practices.
Isn’t it foolishness to wait for lab to prove things when personal experience gives more better results of following our culture?
Digest this another example and next time, do not make fun of your grand mother when she shower her Gods in copper utensils.
Things to take care while embracing copper
Blue Vitriol of copper Sulfate is known as ‘तुथ्यम’ in संस्कृत. Green Vitriol is known as मयूरतुथ्यम. From तुथ्यम, Persian word ‘tutia’. तुथ्यम is prescribed by Charaka and Sushruta as an ingredient for prepating medicines to treat ulcers & leprosy. It is antiseptic and germicide against fungus infections. The health benefits of copper include proper growth, utilization of iron, enzymatic reactions, connective tissues, hair, eyes, ageing and energy production.
Apart from these, heart rhythm, thyroid glands, arthritis, wound healing. RBC formation and cholesterol are other health benefits of copper.Copper enables normal metabolic process in association with amino acids and vitamins.
Therefore the health benefits of copper are crucial for healthy existence. Copper is the 3rd most prevalent mineral in the body and is mostly carried by the blood plasma protein – Ceruloplasmin. Copper cannot be produced within the body and hence to be sourced from external food sources.
Impure copper is not good. Ayurveda has WARNED that consumption of impure copper leads to disorders. Purification process for medicinal purpose.
Tuthya pieces are transferred in a muslin cloth and tied to form a poultice. This poultice is cooked in a combined mixture of Go-Mutra (cow’s fresh urine), Mahish-Mutra (buffalo’s fresh urine) and Aja-Mutra(goat’s fresh urine) with help of a Dolayantra for 1 Prahar. After the process is completed, Shudh (purified) Tuthya is obtained.
Along with this, we should also make sure to discard Aluminium from common home usage.
Discard Aluminum
It has become norm for teens to eat wraps. It comes with wrap. Burger, samosa. Everything is packaged in either paper or aluminum. There is indirect slow poison in wrap material. Save your children by changing their habits. Avoid food parcels and wraps.
Aluminum Impact
Changes in cholesterol developmental effects to fetuses during pregnancy or to breastfed infants (e.g., low birth weight) liver effects (e.g., tissue damage) immune effects (e.g., depressed antibody production in response to vaccination) thyroid effects.
Extreme immobility of Aluminium is pre-condition for organism’s well-being on the Earth. On top of it, due to non-exposure to mobile Aluminium so far, our planet’s living beings, including humans, did not develop natural way to tolerate exposure to chemically mobile aluminum.
Globally, for the past decade or more, with dramatically increasing intensity, our planet is being deliberately and clandestinely exposed to a non-natural substance which releases toxic mobile aluminum into the environment.
Ageing accelerated, infertility, damaged brain, neuron degeneration, memory loss, laziness, inability to act in dire situations.
I still remember how we started using aluminum cooker in 80s. 🙁 (Which we stopped using in 90s). Dementia and Alzheimer are tip of the iceberg. Read this extremely disappointing research. Geoengieering, aluminum and Gomti River pollution.[2][3]

Sir, thanks for great information. I would like to know about stainless steel cookware. Are they good to use or is any side effects involved?
