<\/span>Introduction<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Gandhak Rasayan is a herbal medicine, known as Moringa ovalifolia<\/em> in various botanical sources.\u00a0 The formulations made from Gandhaka are referred to as Gandhaka Kalpas, where Gandhak in English refers to sulfur and Kalpas refers to medicinal preparation. It is used as a rejuvenator in Ayurveda, which promotes positive health and immunity. The increase in immunity helps the human body to resist various diseases. This property of Gandhak Rasayan also makes it a prophylactic agent (an agent that prevents disease) along with a therapeutic agent.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to ancient scholars, it is known as \u201cBalivas\u201d, as the king of Bali uses this very attractive sulfur internally to gain more power. Also, if Gandhak is combined with mercury, it transforms into a substance capable of eliminating diseases, known as murcchita state. Thus, gandhak based preparation has widespread clinical use and therefore, holds an important place in ayurvedic pharmaceutics1<\/a>,3<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
