Significant Role Of Rasa Ratna Samuchchaya In Rasashastra

Abstract

The goal of the age-old medical system Ayurveda is to avoid disease rather than treat it. People are turning back to nature instead of artificial products as a result, and Ayurveda—not just in India—will emerge as the global medical science of the future. The main objective of all contemporary medical systems is to attain a healthy body and healthy mind. For years, a number of researchers have been attempting to lengthen life. The 'Science of Life,' Ayurveda, is as unwavering in its resolve. One well-known and crucial area of Ayurveda is Rasa shastra. With the aim of ending world poverty and strengthening the body while delaying the aging process, it deals with alchemical knowledge (Lohavedh) and Ayurvedic pharmaceutics, particularly pharmaceuticals derived from minerals. Rasa Shastra's roots are in the pre-vedic era, when metals were successfully employed to cure a wide range of illnesses. One well-known Rasa shastra textbook is Rasa Ratna Samuchchaya. Rasa Ratna Samuchchaya play a crucial part in Rasashastra, and Vagbhaṭa has consolidated the dispersed knowledge of Rasashastra in Rasa Ratna Samuchchaya. A critical examination of Rasa Ratna Samuchchaya (RRS) demonstrates unequivocally that it is the best text on Rasashastra currently accessible, covering all eight Ayurvedic branches in addition to pharmacological and therapeutical features.
