Summary of article contents:
Ayurveda, the traditional system of Indian Medicine has enriched the historical background and is one of the great living traditions. The use of processed metals, minerals, and processed herbs as a medicament has been an integral part of Ayurvedic practice. Rasashastra is an ancient science of pharmaceuticals that deals with specific procedures and techniques like Shodhana (purification), Marana (incineration), and Satva Patana (extraction of the essence) which converts the metals and minerals into safe and acceptable forms. In Rasashastra , one important classification is given as Maharasa, Uparasa, and Sadharana rasa where the drugs are classified into various groups. Among the Uparasa group, Kankshi is the third mineral drug. In this article, Kankshi is reviewed for its physicochemical properties, shodhana, and its medicinal properties.
