ImmunityAyurvedic

Copper has an oligodynamic effect — naturally destroys bacteria and viruses. Water kept in a copper vessel for 8 hours becomes "pure Tamra Jal."

Copper water activates digestive enzymes. Balances all three doshas (Vata-Pitta-Kapha) — it is tridosha-nashak (remover of three faults).

The Sun "activates" copper. Washing the face with sun-charged copper water makes the skin glow and sharpens eyesight.

Copper absorbs and stores the Sun's infrared energy — which is why the copper Arghya is considered most effective.
