Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Manasheela (realgar, arsenic disulphide) has been used in ayurvedic medicine since ancient times for the treatment of conditions such as skin diseases, cough, asthma, certain eye diseases and psychological disorders. Shodhana (purification) is an integral part of ayurvedic processing especially for poisonous substances before they can be used for therapeutic purposes. In the case of Manasheela, which contain the heavy metal arsenic, it can be purified by two ways. One by carrying out seven levigations (Bhavana) of Zinziber officinalis Roscoe (Ardraka) juice and other by keeping it for three days in lime water (Churnodaka).Ashodhita Manasheela (unpurified realgar), Ardraka Shodhita Manasheela (realgar purified with ginger juice) and Churnodaka Shodhita Manasheela (realgar purified with lime water) were investigated by examination of the relevant physico – chemical parameters, quantitative elemental analysis, including the percentage of arsenic using atomic absorption spectrometry. As analytical parameter shows very minimal difference in both type of Shodhana, so both type of ManasheeladiVati are analytically equal
