Herbal and herbo-mineral medicines have been widely utilized in Ayurveda. Ayurvedic medicines have indications that span a broad spectrum of health concerns. Among these Rasaoushadhi holds a significant place in Ayurveda due to its remarkable rejuvenating qualities and potent efficacy even at low doses. Silataalarasa is an herbo-mineral formulation explained in Brihat Rasaraja Sundhara Kasaadhikara. It contains Haratala (Orpiment), Manasila(Realgar), Shunti, Maricha, Pippali, Nirguntimoola, Vasa and Gokshura. This study aimed to prepare Silataalarasa using the classical Kupipakwa method, analyzing its physical-chemical properties and compositional characteristics. Three batches of Silataalarasa were meticulously prepared, adhering to the traditional methodology outlined in ancient texts. Pharmaceutico-analytical investigations revealed crucial parameters: LOD 5.31%, Total Ash 5.04%, pH 5.41 and acid insoluble Ash 0.91 %. High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography (HPTLC) offered insights into compound composition and distribution within the formulation. SEM-EDS shows the formulation is of micro size and mostly organic matters. XRD analysis shows that this formulation contains As4S4. The data obtained from pharmaceutical, analytical, and instrumental studies collectively contribute to a preliminary profile for Silataalarasa.
