Everyone visualizes a long-bearded old man crushing some leaves and twigs in a pestle-mortar, when the word 'Ayurveda' is uttered :-)
A branch of Ayurveda called 'Rasa Shastra' deals with the indepth study of utilizing the gift of the Mother Earth - metals & minerals therapeutically and responsibly.
Very sadly, people and physicians of other streams blindly declare these medicines as potential toxic substances, heavy-metal poisoning and all such fallacy. Ayruveda texts scientifically explain the various 'Shodhana' procedures for each and every metal or mineral used.
[Shodhana is a process of utilizing specific herbs/minerals and processes to convert the raw metal/mineral into a bio-compatible form for either internal consumption or external application]
Some people talk about 'Sulphur allergy'; yes it is possible when Sulphur is used without the 'Shodhana' process.
Gandhaka (Sulphur) is equated to 'Devi Durga' and She knows only to bless with utmost responsible Love. Hence, I urge all of you readers to remove the term Sulphur allergy when it comes to Ayurveda medicines. Do not miss out the magic of Rasaushadhis in your lifetime !..
