Rasasastra: The Mercurial System

 
P.Himasagara Chandra Murthy (Author) Banaras Ayurveda Series
Synopsis

Salutations to the God of Mercury, who is all pervading, the only cause of evaluation and dissolution and because of whom the universe exists.

Each substance in this universe endeavours to metamorphise qualitatively. In this effort, man too, specially endowed with sense of discrimination Buddhi, naturally stands out. This development pertains to all aspects of life, including health. Since is a prime requirement for achieving any means, he had, for this purpose, started making use of mother nature. Thus many “Pathys” have evolved with respect to time and space and have become popular. In spite of the difference in these pathys, all of them have two fundamental principles in common (i.e)-removal of the disease and preservation of health. Normally quick removal of disease and permanent upkeeping of health have always held importance. This was not possible with ordinary health and Medical systems, thus necessitating the discovery of a better system which could successfully serve this purpose.

This search has ended with the advent of Mercurial System. In text books of Rasa Sastra, it is mentioned that this science has its roots with. Lord Siva and his lineage. The very thought inculcates undeterred dedication and devotion towards the system. Thus treatment Mercurial has been considered as-“Divine Therapy”. Everybody, irrespective of such beliefs, have doubtlessly agreed upon the fast, gentle and permanent curing capacity of these drugs.

“Though the writing of books on Rasasastra had started during 7th, 8th Century A.D.; it dates back to antiquity. This is evident by the references we come across in Vedic, Brahmana, Smrti and Samhita literature. During 12th century A.D., Rasasastra enjoyed the highest popularity, resulting in numerous books being written in this century and afterwards-being replete with drugs of mercurial king dom. At present, every Ayurvedic physician invariably uses rasa drugs. Modern Medical system has been fear – stricken by this system, since Mercury, Arsenic and other heavy metals are freely are freely used.
