Pharmaceutical study of Kasisa Satva

Satvapatana and use of Satvabhasma is neglected part not practiced like other therapeutic processlike Bhasmas, Parpati and Sindurakalpana etc. now days we get all Dhatu in its pure form but thosemetals are not extracted as therapeutically active material. Those metals are extracted by usingmetallurgical methods like leaching, electro wining etc. These methods are not aimed attherapeutically active agent. Basic principle in Rasashastra is to make Asatmya, toxic metal intoSharira Satmya Dravya for that from Shodhana to Marana process, we use all organic Sharira SatmyaDravyas to convert them nonpoisonous, therapeutically active, easily absorbable medicine. Theseprincipals are not involved in contemporary extraction methods. This is major difference inmetallurgical extracted metal and metals extracted in satvapatana process. Rasa Granthas havementioned that Satvas are purer, more potent, so here an attempt is done to study thepharmaceutical process of Satvapatna.
