Rasashastra study of metal and mineral medicines is one of the oriental sciences which comes in the do-main of god Shiva –the important deity of Rasashastra. It is understood that the term Rasashastra denotes Parada, Maharasa, Uparasa and Sadharana Rasa. Rasdravyas are the group of a drug which processed with Parada and helps to achieve Lohavada and Dhatuvada. Sadharana Rasa are less and commonly use-ful in mercurial preparation. The word controversy refers to a confusion and unauthenticated or unjustified version of subjects. Due to lack of difference opinion of scholar regarding identification, properties drugs, leads to reject in quality of Rasa preparations. It is creating problem for uniformity in standardization of Rasaushadhies. Standardization is required to rule out the state of uncertainty regarding the identification and use of drugs, to meet the challenges of new millennium with increasing demand on our products glob-ally.
