Abstract

Rasasindura is created through the Kupipakva method, which is a distinctive traditional pharmaceutical technique where, the medication is processed in a glass container known as Kupi, and the temperature is gradually increased in an EMF (traditional furnace). Classical texts indicate that Shodhana) Rasasindura exhibits improved therapeutic properties. The preparation of Shodhana) Rasasindura using the Kupipakva method takes a total of 72 hours. Meanwhile, Shodhana) Rasasindura is made by using one part of Parada and six parts of Gandhaka via the Kupipakva method, requiring 48 hours to complete. Traditionally, the making of Shodhana) Rasasindura entails a laborious, repeated procedure of incorporating Gandhaka (Sulfur) into Parada (Mercury). This research examines the pharmaceutical viability of a one-step preparation process, utilizing a total ratio of 1:6 (Mercury:Sulfur) executed in a single Kupipakva cycle. The fuming and flaming phase of Shadguna Rasasindura preparation extends over a longer duration. The formation of compounds in Shadguna Rasasindura occurred more slowly. The temperature range for preparing Shadguna Rasasindura is maintained between 600°C and 650°C. The findings underscore the thermal characteristics, yield efficiency, and physicochemical stability of the final product.
