ABSTRACT

Rasashastra deals with Rasa Aushadhis, drugs of metallic and mineral origin. Mercury is mainly used in the Rasaaushadhis. Mineral and metal formulations toxicity is minimized to such a degree by specific Shodhana, Marana, etc. techniques that Mercury turns its intrinsic toxicity property into therapeutic property. Rasa Aushadhis acts easily on the body because, owing to their low particle size, they are consumed by the oral mucosa itself. Drugs are mostly based on the Anupana, i.e. the drug vessel Rasacharayas listed numerous Rasa preparations, such as Bhasmas, Parpati, Pottali, Manduras, Karpooras, etc., along with their doses, dosing plan and Anupana / Sahapana, etc. The concepts of Rasaaushadhi, although applied in modern times, are considered to be scientifically valid. It can be claimed that Rasacharyas has already mastered the science of nanotechnology, purification, function of microbial catalysts, biotransformation and the protection of medicinal goods. Ayurvedic medications can be toxic to our body if they are not delivered in the correct dose as shown in classical literature.
