Abstract
Rasashastra is a branch of Ayurveda which deals with the various pharmaceutical processes viz. Shodhana, Marana, etc. and gives detailed description regarding the Metals, Minerals, Poisonous herbal drugs and Animal products commonly used as therapeutically in practice of Ayurveda. Hingula, a significant component in Rasashastra, is categorized as a Sadharana Rasa, meaning a common yet potent substance used in various Ayurvedic formulations. Known in the modern context as cinnabar, Hingula primarily contains mercury sulfide and has been utilized for centuries in the many preparations. Its importance in Rasashastra lies in its ability to enhance the potency and efficacy of formulations, particularly those aimed at rejuvenation, longevity, and the treatment of complex diseases. The careful detoxification and processing of Hingula is crucial, as it is a potent substance that can be toxic if not properly handled. This paper explores the traditional methods of Hingula purification, its pharmacological properties, and its role in the preparation of various Ayurvedic medicines.
