Description

Ras Sindoor is a classical Ayurvedic Rasa Shastra preparation — not a raw mineral but a multi-step processed compound — produced by the intensive trituration of purified mercury and sulfur with herbal media (Bhavana liquids), followed by specific incineration protocols producing a bright red, fine powder. Entirely distinct from raw cinnabar (Shingraf/Hingul), Ras Sindoor undergoes extensive detoxification via Shodhana and Marana procedures described in classical Rasa Shastra texts including the Rasa Ratna Samuchchaya and Rasa Tarangini. The resulting preparation is documented for use in Rasayana formulations under specialised Vaidya supervision. The preparation and sale of mercury-based Ayurvedic preparations is strictly regulated under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act in India. This product is supplied for research, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and properly licensed formulation contexts only.
