Abstract
Sodhana (Purification) is an important and principal pharmaceutical
procedure for removing the impurities before the conversion of metals and
minerals into Bhasma. There are different procedures like Svedana
(vapouring), Mardana (grinding), Prakshalana (performing frequent
ablutions), Galana (straining fluids), Avapa (substances are added into the
liquefiedmetals),Nirvapa(metalsareburnttoredhotanddippedinliquids),
Bhavana (maceration), Bharjana (frying in pan) etc. specific process are
describedfortheSodhanaofdifferentmetalsandminerals.
SodhanaofParada(Mercury)wasdoneinthespecificmediumsi.e.

Yava, Tankana). Atomic Absorption Spectrometry study reveals that the
higherlevelsofvariouselementsandheavymetalsarefoundintheParada
after the purification when compared with the Sodhana process. The raw
Parada contains of Iron (4.7800), Copper (4.5840), Zinc (1.2280), Silver
(0.304), Tin (3.7560), Cadmium (2.0534), Lead (2.3400), Arsenic (2.6500)

Introduction:
Ayurveda, the immortal science of life is practiced in the Asian
subcontinentsinceVedicperiodhavegivenvitalimportancetothepracticeof
metal and mineral based therapies, includes use of drugs originated mainly
frommetalsandmineralsaftergoingthroughsystemicprocedureofSodhana
(purification) and Marana (incineration/calcification). Altered politico
socioeconomic compulsions made the development in Rasasastra consistent
for centuries and thousands of formulations were formulated for the
demandingsociety.
DrugsusedinAyurvedabroadlyclassified intothree categories,viz.,
(a)Vegetableproducts,(b)Animalproducts,and(c)MetalsandMinerals.In
the Vedic literature and in Ayurvedic classics mostly vegetable drugs were
prescribed for the treatment of different categories of ailments. Very few
animalproductsandstillfewermetalsandmineralsweredescribedinthose
texts.MetalsdescribedintheseworksincludeIron,Copper,Gold,Lead,Tin,
Silver and Copper pyrite. Metals for internal use were processed by

Purposeofprocessing:
Duringtheclassicalage,metalsandmineralswereimpregnatedwith

make them easily digestible and absorbable, to make them suitable for

forseveraltimes.
ConceptofSodhana(Purification):
Theprocessofeliminatingtheimpuritiesofthemetallicsubstancesby
means of Svedana (vapouring), Mardana (grinding), Prakshalana
(performingfrequentablutions),Galana(strainingfluids),Avapa(substances
areaddedintotheliquefiedmetals),Nirvapa(metalsareburnttoredhotand
dipped in liquids), Bhavana (maceration), Bharjana (frying in pan) etc.
specific process and techniques with the help of specifically mentioned
Aushadhadravya(plantjuicesoranimalproducts),isknownasSodhana(3).
Typesofsodhana:
Sodhanaprocessissubdividedintotwomajorcategories:(4)
(1)Samanyasodhana(Generalpurification)(5):
It is used as universal procedure for sodhana of all drugs of a
particular group, in other words these drugs should be purified individually
throughthesameprocedure.e.g.,samanyasodhanaofmetalsandminerals.
(2)Viseshasodhana(Specificpurification):
It is used as specific procedure for particular drug material
individually.ThisprocessshouldbeusefulafterSamanyasodhana.e.g.,Loha
(iron)SodhanaprocessedwithTriphaladecoction.(6)
ChangesduringSodhanaprocess:
Physicalchanges:
(a)Eliminationofphysicalimpurities:
The contamination is often natural and it takes place in the mines or
some material is available in combination with other ones. e.g., kampilla
(mallotus philippensis LAM.) is separated from brick powder (7) Guggulu
(Commiphora mukul Engl.), Silajatu is separated from insoluble physical
impurities.(8)
(b)Reductioninhardness:
By repeated heating and quenching, hardness of the metals and
mineralsbecomebrittleandmakesthemsuitableforMaranaprocedure.(9)
(c)Increasebrittleness:
Byrepeatedheatingandquenchinginliquidmedia,cracksareseenon
the surface of metals and minerals and become brittle. e.g., Abhraka (mica)
flakesandLohaareburntonfireanddippedinTriphaladecoctionforseven
times,bythistheflakesofAbhrakaandLohabecomesoft,brittleandminute
andcanbemadeintoBhasmaeasily.(10)
Chemicalchange:
(a)Eliminationofchemicalimpurities:
In the mines, metals are available in combination with other metals
and found as metallic ores or compounds. During Sodhana of Makshika
(Copper pyrites CuFeS2) impurities like arsenic get eliminated by the
heating.
(b)Formationofchemicalcompounds:
Loha(iron)whenheateduptoredhot,reactswithatmosphericoxygen
to form ferric oxide (Fe2O3), which possesses therapeutic potentials.
SimilarlywhenMakshikaisfried,Sulphuriseliminated(11),ironandcopper
convertsintooxide.
(c)Changeintodesiredcompound:

DuringBharjanaofTankana(BoraxNa2B4O7 10H2O)thechemical
compound of borax changes into Na2B4O7 5H2O (12) and Kamkshi (alum
k2Al3 (SiO3) 24H2O) water portion is evaporated and desired chemical
compoundisobtained.
Biologicalchanges:
A Physicochemical change of the material helps to increase its
biological availability, means to potentiate its biological efficacy on the
humanbody.Reductioninparticlesizehelpsinabsorption,smoothnessleads
to nonirritability, chemical changes make the material homologous to the
tissuecells,thetoxicityisreducedandacceptabilitytothecellsisincreased.
The Jaipala seeds (Croton tiglium Linn.) do posses the property of
producing spasm in intestine, after purification with lemon juice which
possessantispasmodicproperty.(13)
Anjana (stibnite) purified in juice of Bhrngaraja
(Eclipta alba (L) Hassk.) is proved nontoxic to eyes in experimenting
animals.
Sodhita Vatsanabha (Aconitum chasmanthum
Stapf.) when purified in cows urine is converted into cardiac stimulant,
whereascrudeVatsanabhaisclaimedtobecardiacdepressant.(14)
TheseedsofKucala(StrychnosnuxvomicaLinn.)
purified in cows milk show CNS depressant activity, pentabarbitone
hypnosispotentiation,inhibitedmorphineinducedcatalepsyandleasttoxicity
inmice,albinoratsandchicks.(15)
Roleofmedia:
Liquidmediumfacilitateseasyandsmoothgrinding,iteliminatesthe
problem of dust. In this process during grinding, the minute particles of the
material come in contact with the liquid. Pellets are prepared after proper
levigation, and hence it can be utilized for further processing. Liquid

Liquidmediumactsasabindingagent,duetoitsbindingpropertyitiseasyto

PurificationofParada(16):
Genuine raw drugs are selected only after proper purification. Many
methods of Sodhana are prescribed in our texts, but the method, which is
easy, effective and practicable is followed here. When the processing
methodology is completed, then the purified drugs are fit for internal
administrations.

Instrument:AtomicAbsorptionSpectrometry(17):
Atomicabsorptionspectrometry(AAS)isananalyticaltechniquethat
measures the concentrations of elements. Atomic absorption is so sensitive
that it can measure parts per billion of a gram (g dm3) in a sample. The
techniquemakesuseofthewavelengthsoflightspecificallyabsorbedbyan

periodically during operations and blanks are carried with each set of 10
samples or aspirate any one of the prepared working standards for every 10

Conclusion:
In the text of Rasasastra, there are many
purificationmethodsformetalsandminerals.Dependingonthetoxicityfew
are purified with the general purification methods and some with specific
methods. By the purification physical and chemical impurities are removed,
and hence metals are free from toxicity and metals become suitable for the
furtherprocedureslikeMarana.
Parada is available in liquid state and it can absorb the metals and
mineralseasily.Forthepurificationofparadamanymethodsareadoptedin
