Principal Indian systems of medicine (Ayurveda, Sidha and Unani-Tibb) use natural products (plants, animals and minerals) as drugs. While medicinal plants have received considerable attention of the scientific community. The other two categories of natural products viz of animal and mineral origin drugs have not received the requisite attention as Original Sanskrit/Arabic/Persian sources are not easily assessable. This book is the first comprehensive work covering all aspects of this subject i.e. historical, classification, single drugs and compound formulations, calcined metal preparations (42 Bhasmas and 42 Kushtas), standardization alongwith a critical review of research carried out over the last fifty years. Many useful leads suggest immense potential for development on mineral/metallic drugs internationally and further global interest in alternative therapies and trace elements.

Rasa Shastra is the ancient science of Indian alchemy. At present Rasa Shastra is included as a part of Ayurveda pharmaceutical studies in India, since the medicinal properties of mercury including the other metals are being explored for their capabilities on many incurable diseases. Globally a lot of Ayurvedic medicines have been blamed as a risk for health, for containing heavy metals like mercury, lead, arsenic etc. This present work is an attempt to investigate, a traditionally made mercurial medicine called Samirpannaga Rasa, prepared from mercury, sulphur, minerals like arsenic sulphides and oxides following Rasashastra principles. After a 28 day animal trial it was observed that this medicine, following traditional methods of administration was safe to be used in healthy albino rats. This work presents some literary and experimental evidences on safety and efficacy of mercury as medicine. It will change your view about defining a medicine and a poison literally. Ayurveda says that even a poison used cautiously and judiciously for treating a disease is like an elixir of life and even other medicines assumed as elixir, when used injudiciously may lead to death.

Arguably the oldest form of health care, Ayurveda is often referred to as the "Mother of All Healing." Although there has been considerable scientific research done in this area during the last 50 years, the results of that research have not been adequately disseminated. Meeting the need for an authoritative, evidence-based reference, Scientific Basis for Ayurvedic Therapies is the first book to analyze and synthesize current research supporting Ayurvedic medicine. This book reviews the latest scientific information, evaluates the research data, and presents it in an easy to use format. The editor has carefully selected topics based on the availability of scientific studies and the prevalence of a disease. With contributions from experts in their respective fields, topics include Ayurvedic disease management, panchkarma, Ayurvedic bhasmas, the current status of Ayurveda in India, clinical research design, and evaluation of typical clinical trials of certain diseases, to name just a few. While there are many books devoted to Ayurveda, very few have any in-depth basis in scientific studies. This book provides a critical evaluation of literature, clinical trials, and biochemical and pharmacological studies on major Ayurvedic therapies that demonstrates how they are supported by scientific data. Providing a natural bridge from Ayurveda to Western medicine, Scientific Basis for Ayurvedic Therapies facilitates the integration of these therapies by health care providers.
