Abstract

Introduction: Preparation of herbo-mineral compounds in Ayurveda revolves around mercury, considered as the prime among all minerals. Sulphur is again an important element used in many disorders and applied substance in different Ayurvedic formulations, considered as the antidote for the harmful mercurials. Kajjali is prepared by grinding mercury and sulphur. The prepared Kajjali used as a raw material for Rasasindura preparation with Kupipakva method. Kupipakva method is developed by ancient Rasaacharya for the preparation of heat treated mercurial. Dviguna gandhak jarita parada is considered more potent compare to Samaguna bali jarita.
