Ayurveda – An Ancient Indian Science

Ayurveda is a traditional Indian medical system that was developed on the tenet that mental, physical, and spiritual harmony is necessary for optimal health and well-being. Earth, water, fire, air, and space are the five components that make up the universe, according to Ayurveda. Each person's constitution is made up of a particular arrangement of these components. Ayurveda recommends using Kansa metal utensils because it believes that this natural metal can balance the three doshas in the human body (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha).

The mystery of Kansa metal has been unfolding since the Bronze Age, which began around 3000 years ago. Below is the text of the 5th chapter and 46th verse of the "Rasratna Samucchaya", an Indian Sanskrit treatise on alchemy:

कांस्य तु ताम्र लोहानि शुद्धानि भवन्ति हि ।

अग्निना पालेय मासात्सर्वा रोगान् प्रशमन् तथा ॥

This verse is an Ayurvedic belief that using kitchenware made of pure metals like Kansa (bronze), Tamra (copper), and Loha (iron) can have health benefits for humans. It is believed that when these metals are heated and used to cook and serve food and drinks, they are valued in tradition as wholesome to cook and serve with.

Furthermore, in tradition these metals are valued for the wholesome way they hold food and drink. This is why Kansa kitchenware is often referred to as the "hands of grace" in Ayurveda.
