Healthy Ayurvedic Cooking in Copper & Brass
In today’s fast-paced world, more people are turning to ancient wellness systems to bring balance and harmony into their lives. One such time-tested tradition is Ayurveda, India’s 5,000-year-old science of life. While Ayurveda covers everything from diet to lifestyle, one often-overlooked aspect is the use of metals like copper and brass in cooking and storage.
At Indian Art Villa, we believe in blending this ancient wisdom with modern convenience. Let’s explore how copper and brass utensils inspired by Ayurveda can transform your everyday kitchen into a space of wellness, heritage, and healing.
What Ayurveda Says About Metals in the Kitchen
According to Ayurveda, the tools and materials we use to prepare and store food have a direct impact on our health. Each metal carries unique energetic and medicinal properties that can influence the doshas (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) in our body.
Cook with Copper the Ayurvedic Way
Copper cookware has been used in Indian households and temples for centuries. At Indian Art Villa, we have reimagined these heritage tools for modern use — combining functionality, aesthetic charm, and Ayurvedic wisdom.

How to Use Copper and Brass Utensils in a Modern Kitchen

-
Store drinking water in a copper bottle or matka overnight for natural purification.
