Abstract

Pottali Kalpana is a consolidated form of mercurial preparation which incorporates the Pota Bandha of Parada. Pottali is a type of preparation which is emerged as a result of Parada Murchana. Murchana is a procedure in which mercury is ground thoroughly with other herbo-mineral drugs to make it therapeutically efficient. Here a research work is carried out on Taaragarbha Pottali by molten sulphur method for about 3 hours Paka and analyzed with classical and modern parameters. Here the particle size is found to be 296.6nm. In SEMEDAX there is presence of C, Au, Al, Si, Ag, S, and Hg. XRD showed compounds with crystalline structure and split pseudo peaks. Along with these other Physico-chemical tests, NPST were carried out to show the standard values of the final product. Overall, a remarkable difference was observed in the sample of Taaragarbha Pottali.
