Sulphur is one of the most important elements which are classified as uparasa (categorization according to Ayurved texts). In natural (impure) form it causes disorders like kushta (skin diseases), hyperthermia, dizziness and weakness, vitiation of pitta dosha and loss of luster of skin. It was observed that physico-chemical changes are associated with change in its medicinal properties. Many procedures for purification of sulphur are mentioned in Ayurvedic texts but there is need of procedure to identify purified sulphur. In present study sulphur purification was carried out using cow milk and ghee as media at 3 times (stage) and compared with raw sample. The comparison revealed perceptible changes in physicochemical parameters between raw and processed sulphur as well as ghee.
