For the past few decades, our society has been brainwashed in thinking that traditional cookware is harmful to health. Many families even traded their traditional brass/bronze(vengala வெங்கலம்) and eeya ஈய (tin) vessels for shiny stainless steel vessels which were traded under the name "ever silver". Any attention drawn to the iron content in stainless steel was dismissed by the statement that the ancient people did not have any knowledge about iron alloys and that they did not have manufacturing processes in place to produce stainless steel. I request those who think that our Vedic ancestors did not know about iron alloys to take a good look at the iron pillar at Delhi. For centuries this pillar has withstood weathering effects without rusting. The corrosion-resistant pillar installed during the reign of King Chandrahupta II between 375 and 415 CE is a testament to the high level of metallurgical skills possessed by ancient ironsmiths. The chemical composition of this pillar still remains a mystery to modern-day metallurgist. So, it was not the lack of iron alloys that made our ancestors choose brass, copper, tin and silver kitchenware. They carefully selected the material for cookware to promote good health.

        The ancient Vedic surgical medical text Shushrutha Samhita specifies the material of choice for surgical instruments based on the oligodynamic effect of certain metals. Oligo means a few and dynamic means force. Certain metals like copper, silver and tin release metal ions in minute quantities. This minute release of metal ions exerts a force that keeps pathogens at bay.
