A practical study into the preparation and application of Rasa Medicine (Indian Alchemy) on CD-Rom
As Buddhism became more widespread in Asia, a new understanding of human health arose. A Buddhist monk and practising alchemist called Nagajuna began to refine and formulate the practise of making remedies with precious metals, gemstones and other minerals.
Surgical intervention in the Buddhist tradition was considered to be too invasive for the human body. The practise of surgery slowly began its decline in favour of new herbal formulas being developed for the application of internal medicines.
Herbal compounds were effective, but in cases of great chronicity, healers of the day sought a medical system which emulated the immediate effects of surgery but dispensed with its invasive and dangerous procedures.
The solution to this problem was Rasa Shastra, an alchemical fusion between mineral and organic compounds including such diverse materials as mercury, sulphur, copper and diamond.
These new, highly potent formulas delivered into the hands
of physicians a medicine which could be administered in very small quantities, was fast acting, tasteless, odourless and truly miraculous in its efficiency and potency.

All of the work in this presentation is undertaken by Andrew Mason (Dip. Ayu, HIr.), during a nine month research project in Sri Lanka and India. This project was initially started to gain an introductory level knowledge into this fascinating science but quickly grew in complexity. Having been given the tools and production facility in which to experiment, Andrew with the help of his instructors was able to dedicate all of his time in the actual production and purification of these rasa base compounds.
