- Abstract
During medieval period Rasa Shastra as a branch of Pharmaco therapeutics bloomed with the use of metals in the medicine. It brought a great ease to the patients as the drugs were more potent, fast acting with markedly reduced doses. Various specialized processing techniques like Shodhana Samskara, Marana, Jarana etc are carried out for manufacturing Rasa Aushadhis which are tedious yet essential. Shodhana is done to remove the toxicity of metals and make it adaptable for body. It includes processes like swedana, nirvapa, mardrna, bhavana etc. Rasa Dravyas are highly potent and have wide range of therapeutic action. The procedure adopted and the herbs used in shodhana are selected accordingly. The present study is an attempt to throw light upon various shodhana procedures of Rasa Dravyas.
