Tamba natural substance has great significance in Ayurveda and it is used to cure many diseases. Tamba is also popular with name Tamra. In English, Tamba is known as Copper (Cu ) and this chemical element with atomic number 29 in periodic table with chemical properties. Tamba has great uses to make many electronic products.

Tamba is soft, malleable and ductile metal with very high thermal and electrical conductivity. A freshly exposed surface of pure copper has a reddish-orange color. It is used as a conductor of heat and electricity, as a building material, and as a constituent of various metal alloys.

Copper is essential to all living organisms as a trace dietary mineral because it is a key constituent of the respiratory enzyme complex cytochrome c oxidase. The main areas where copper is found in humans are liver, muscle and bone. Copper compounds are used as bacteriostatic substances, fungicides, and wood preservatives. The adult body contains between 1.4 and 2.1 mg of copper per kilogram of body weight. Hence a healthy human weighing 60 kilogram contains approximately 0.1g of copper. However, this small amount is essential to the overall human well-being.

In Vedas, the Tamba has great importance and explained in brief. You can see Tamba Dhatu (Copper metal) things in MahaBharat and ShriMadBhagvat on many places. In Ayurvedic scripture, mainly in Charak Samhita demonstrate the health benefits of Tamba/Tamra. In medication, the Tamba has been used from over 3000 years.
