Copper is a favorite material among Indian artisans. Its beautiful reddish hue lends exceptional beauty to the items, and copper is also known for its healing properties and durability. One of the main benefits of copper cookware is its antibacterial action. Copper kills a range of fungi and bacteria. Traditionally, water was stored in copper containers for disinfection.

Ayurvedic doctors recommend drinking water infused in copper vessels every morning on an empty stomach. Water infused in copper, called "tamra jal," balances all three doshas, contributing to natural health maintenance. The water becomes structured, purified, and acquires healing properties:

• Improves brain function
• Strengthens the heart muscle
• Boosts immunity
• Promotes wound healing and improves skin condition
• Repairs joints
• Slows down aging processes

Care Recommendations:

• Wash copper cookware by hand only
• Do not use chlorine-containing cleaners
• Do not pour boiling water into dry copper cookware
• Salt or flour are preferable cleaning agents

Dark spots may appear on the cookware due to the natural oxidation process of copper. Special anti-oxidation agents can be used to remove these spots.

Precautions:

Do not store acidic foods or milk in copper vessels. The interaction of acids with copper creates substances that can cause digestive upset.

Note: Do not add lemon to water stored in copper vessels.
