Kajjali in ayurveda - #3465
I recently started learning about rasashastra, and I keep coming across the term kajjali in Ayurveda. From what I’ve read, kajjali seems to be a combination of mercury and sulfur used in many Ayurvedic medicines. I’m really curious to know more about kajjali in Ayurveda – how it’s prepared, and why it’s used in so many remedies. My main question is about the safety of kajjali. Mercury is toxic in its raw form, so how is kajjali made safe for medicinal use? I read that there’s a purification process involved, but how can I ensure that the kajjali in Ayurvedic medicines is properly purified? Are there specific certifications or brands I should look for when buying products containing kajjali? Another thing I’d like to know is what conditions kajjali in Ayurveda is most commonly used for. Is it mainly for chronic illnesses, or can it be used for everyday health problems like digestion or immunity? I’ve heard it’s included in formulations for rejuvenation and detoxification, but are there risks of side effects if used for a long time? If anyone has experience with kajjali-based medicines, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Did it work for you, and how did you ensure the quality of the medicine? Is it safe for self-use, or should it only be taken under supervision?
