In ancient times, processed minerals, metals including Parada, Swarna, Rajata, etc were used very frequently by Acharyas in different diseases conditions with great authority. It is generally claimed that these metals are purified and detoxified by the various procedures used for formulations which are described especially in the classical texts of Rasa Shastra and Bhaishajya kalpana. Rajata in itself is comparatively less explored but best advocated for Medha, Smritikara, Matikaranam, Unmaadhar, Apasmarhara, Naadi Dorbalyakara (Nervous system disorders) and Rasayana (wellbeing) according to our Rasavaidyas. Along with the classical formulations, in Rasa Shastra & Bhaishajya Kalpana, there is need to study and develop existing & new modern pharmaceutical products out of different raw material of Ayurveda formulations, those are more acceptable, palatable, stable & keeping therapeutic potency intact. So Shankhpushpi Syrup for the study has been selected. The mental health of the individual plays a significant role in the well-being of a person.

Keeping these views in mind, A complete & combined therapy; Rajata Bhasma and Shankhpushpi syrup as Medhya was given and result was significant.
