Abstract

Rasakarpura, a Nirgandh type of Kupipakva Rasayana, used to cure skin disease. Rasakarpura was prepared as per the reference of Rasatarangini 6/65-71. It is prepared with Parada (mercury), Sandra Gandhakamla (concentrated sulphuric acid) and Saindhava Lavana (rock salt) in the ratio of 1: 1 ½ and approx 1 ½ . The clinical study was carried out on 80 patients of Kshudra Kustha by using Rasakarpura Drava (0.1 % solution in distilled water) and same was compared with a standard drug i.e. Gandhaka Malahara. The obtained results of clinical trial suggest that both drugs have highly significant result on the cardinal symptoms of Kshudra Kustha.
