Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Rasa Shastra is a special branch in Ayurveda under which the pharmaceutics of metals/minerals is studied. The preparations which are prepared in the form of thin flakes are termed as Parpati and the entire process is termed Parpati Kalpana. The Rasa Parpati is a special and commonly prepared preparation of mercury, unique in the field of RasaShastra. Rasa Parpati preparation is first mentioned in Nagarjuna for Kushta Rogas in 8th century and then Chakradutta described Rasa Parpati for Grahani Roga. It is prepared using different ratios of Parada and Gandhak using mild heat with the necessary precautions. Parpati Kalpa is one of the Rasa Bandha (process of binding mercury) which helps to remove the Chanchalatvam (unable to be stable) and Durgrahatvam (difficult to bind) of Parada (mercury). Parpati Rasayanas are cost effective medicines that have high therapeutic value and less toxicity. In this article, we have prepared the 3 samples of Rasa Parpati with different ratios of Gandhak and study of its organoleptic properties is done.
