Many procedures for purification of sulphur are mentioned in Ayurvedic texts but there is need of procedure to identify purified sulphur. In present study sulphur purification was carried out using cow milk and ghee as media at 3 times (stage) and compared with raw sample. The comparison revealed perceptible changes in physicochemical parameters between raw and processed sulphur as well as ghee.
