Abstract

One such metal is tamra, which is extremely dangerous and many times more toxic than poison itself because, whereas poisons only have one dosha (Toxic effect), unpurified and unreduced tamra has eight doshas. However, if this Tamra is properly processed through the entire pharmaceutical process, it can be turned into one of the most superior and potent medications. Tamra Bhaska is helpful in treating a variety of illnesses, including Pandu, Udar Vyadhi, and others. This work searches and analyzes all Ayurvedic and contemporary perspectives to provide a descriptive analysis of Tamra and its therapeutic potential, which are referenced in our traditional Ayurvedic texts with particular reference to its involvement in nephrotoxicity. Due to its color and flavor, copper should not be self-injected for suicidal or self-harm purposes. Poisoning happens by mistake most of the time. Eating food contaminated with verdigris, which is created by vegetable acids acting on copper cooking vessels that are not adequately tinned within, can lead to accidental poisoning. Excessive copper levels can cause a variety of harmful health effects, including liver and kidney damage, anemia, immunotoxicity, and developmental toxicity. Almost every system is impacted by copper, either directly or indirectly. Many symptoms of copper poisoning are caused by copper-mediated insufficiency, which is a lack of vitamin C, folic acid, or other minerals generated by copper toxicity.
