OmVeda’s
precious Rejuvenative Treatments
Rejuvenative Tonics known as Rasayana Karma. Aimed at
renewal of body and mind, Ayurvedic herbology does not simply seek
longevity, but moves towards a life of pure awareness, natural
creativity, and spontaneous delight. Rasa is essence and Yana is
what enters. It is what penetrates and revitalises the essence of
our psycho-physiological being. Rasayana’s rebuild the body
and mind, prevent decay, and post-pone aging. They may even help
to reverse the aging process. Their action sustains the optimal form
and functions of the various organs, tissues and channels of the body.
In other words, rasayanas are substances that help build healthy
tissues and rejuvenate.
Oxidation of metals is a speciality of Ayurvedic Pharmaceutical
processes. The resulting substances are called "Bhasamas".
These are primarily oxides of the metals but their exact chemical
nature is not yet known and may be more than this, for hard metals the
following procedure is used, each metallic substance in the form of a
flattened piece, is heated on charcoal and then dipped into oil,
buttermilk, or other special substances. In each of these mediums
the metal is heated and dipped seven times. When it is purified
the metal becomes very brittle and another process called "Marana" is
done. The purified metal is put into an earthen shell on to which
another earthen shell is made. It is sealed airtight with a cloth
dipped in clay. When the shell is dry it is heated on coals from
wood of special trees. Heat is applied for six to eight hours and
the Bhasama is thereby prepared. This procedure may be repeated
many times for preparing Bhasamas of different strengths.
For such prepared Bhasamas many tests are done to prove that they are
ready to be used. These tests are different for different
Bhasamas, e.g. copper Bhasama should be put into lime juice and should
not turn green. Other general tests are:
1. Rekha Purna Test: When the prepared bhasama should
fill the lines of the fingertip. That proves that Bhasama is prepared
in the right way.
2. The Bhasama can float over the water.
When added to flame there should be no smoke or colour change
Gold: Gold is a noble metal and does not react with
tissues. Gold is sweet and bitter in taste and hot, unctuous and
heavy in quality. Taken internally, it improves intelligence, capacity
to learn and memory. It counters the effects of poisons in the
body. Strengthens the nerves and is a rejuvenative and
aphrodisiac. Gold can be used in the form of gold water, gold
tincture, varak or gold leaf used on sweets for special occasions.
Silver: Silver is cooling and sour. Internally, it is
used for cooling the mind, emotions and body in conditions such as
neuritis and neuralgia, inflammation of mucous membranes and diseases
of the reproductive system.
