Concept of Jarana Procedure in Puti Lohas With Special Reference to Vanga Dhatu

Rasashastra, a branch of Ayurveda, deals with organomineral and organometallic medicines such as Bhasma, Kupipakwa rasayanas, Pottalis, etc. Among them, bhasmas are the most important and popular form in therapy. Putilohas come under the dhatu varga.Jarana is an intermediate step between Shodhana and Marana in putilohas.In the present study, vanga jarana is done with Apamarga Panchanga yavakuta choorna . In the Jarana process, the low-melting-point parent metal is compounded with a material that can withstand comparatively higher heat, so the metal doesn't volatilise during the actual Marana process.
