First Composition Or Preparation
First Method: Take 50 grams of purified Somal (Arsenic Trisulfide), 100 grams of purified Mercury, and 100 grams of purified Sulfur. First, make a fine mixture (Kajjali) of Mercury and Sulfur. Then, mix the finely powdered Somal with it and grind for 6 hours in a mortar. Afterward, add the juice of Aloe Vera (Ghikuwar) and allow it to dry. Place it in a heated glass vessel and keep it in the Valuka Yantra for 36 to 48 hours, giving the required heat to prepare the medicine.
While making Mall Sindoor, it’s essential to carefully clean the mouth of the glass vessel repeatedly. After about 12 hours, when the smoke of sulfur stops and the smoke of Somal (Arsenic Trisulfide) starts to emerge, and the heated stick shows a white color, immediately seal the vessel. If delayed, the Somal will escape, and if done too quickly, the seal may burst due to the smoke pressure. After sealing, intense heat should be applied for 24 to 36 hours, depending on the condition of the medicine.
As long as there is sulfur present, a black, muddy substance will be seen in the vessel. Once the sulfur is set, this muddy substance will disappear. Mall Sindoor appears as a black, shining substance and is quite hard.
In The Treatment of Paralysis and Hysteria
For Paralysis: Mix Mall Sindoor, purified Nux Vomica, and Ashwagandha, and give it twice a day with cow’s milk and honey. Afterward, administer Rasnadi decoction.
Uses: Mall Sindoor is highly effective in treating conditions like asthma, cough, epilepsy, hysteria, gout, joint pain, cholera, Vata disorders, diabetes, and all kinds of Kapha-related diseases.
Mall Sindoor is a powerful and intense remedy. It stimulates the lungs, nervous system, and heart. This medicine is particularly effective in conditions caused by excess mucus and improper digestion, as well as Vata aggravation. In cases of fever with a severe mucus buildup, chronic cough, or asthma, where the swelling in the tissues or body persists, Mall Sindoor or Mall Chandrodaya can be given without significant risk, even for older patients. Mall Sindoor helps remove Kapha (mucus) and toxins, curing the disease.
When the fever is not above 100 degrees, accompanied by heavy breathing, chest congestion, weak pulse, and increased drowsiness, Mall Sindoor is administered. However, if paralysis occurs along with these symptoms, it is better to give Panchamrit instead of Mall Sindoor. In such cases of excessive mucus and asthma, Samir Pannag is considered beneficial.
In cases of paralysis caused by trauma or other reasons, this medicine is excellent for preventing seizures and spasms. It effectively destroys toxins and pathogens, preventing further attacks.
Dosage: From one-fourth to half a ratti (approximately 31.25 mg to 62.5 mg), twice a day, with honey and betel leaf.
Alternatively, prepare Mall Sindoor tablets as written in the Kharlia Rasayan section and use accordingly.
For Hysteria: Administer Mall Sindoor with musk, saffron, nux vomica, white pepper, and akarkara. Additionally, give the decoction of Jatamansi for consumption.
This medicine acts as a disinfectant and eliminates the pathogens of chronic and periodic fevers present in the blood, thus reducing the fever. In cases of chronic rheumatoid arthritis, when the symptoms are severe but the fever remains mild, administering Mall Sindoor with purified castor oil is beneficial. When toxins are present but not causing cholera, and in infectious cholera cases where the body’s vitality needs to be preserved, this medicine proves to be highly effective.
Taking this medicine increases the heart’s activity, accelerates the pulse, reduces coldness, and removes digestive toxins.
In children’s respiratory diseases, if the lungs and bronchial tubes are filled with excessive mucus, causing wheezing sounds, but there is no high fever, mixing Mall Sindoor with other remedies can provide quick relief.
Cautions: Do not use this medicine in diseases where Pitta is predominant.
If the fever is extremely high, avoid giving this remedy. Patients with magnetic disorders or those who do not have purified blood should not be given this medicine.
Take care to avoid letting the smoke of Somal (Arsenic Trisulfide) come in contact with the eyes. As long as the sulfur is burning, the Somal will not vaporize. Once the sulfur has burned out, handle with caution.
While making Mall Sindoor, if one-fourth of the Mercury is combined with gold, the product is called Mall Chandrodaya. Due to the addition of gold, Mall Chandrodaya is somewhat milder than Mall Sindoor.
If Mall Chandrodaya is prepared by combining gold with highly purified Mercury, it becomes even more beneficial.
Second Method Composition Or Preparation
Second Method: Take 50 grams of purified Somal (Arsenic Trisulfide), 100 grams of purified Mercury, 100 grams of purified Sulfur, and 100 grams of Ras Kapoor (Camphor). Make a fine mixture (Kajjali) of these ingredients and mix with the juice of Aloe Vera. Afterward, allow it to dry, fill it into glass vessels, and, following the same method as described before, place it in the Valuka Yantra for 36 to 48 hours, applying heat to prepare Mall Sindoor.
Dosage: One-fourth to half a ratti (approximately 31.25 mg to 62.5 mg) with ghee and honey or with ginger juice and honey.
Uses: Mall Sindoor is effective for treating syphilis, paralysis, skin diseases, blood disorders, epilepsy associated with syphilis, convulsions, Kapha-related asthma, cough, chronic cold, and arthritis, as well as all types of Vata disorders.
This preparation of Mall Sindoor, combined with Ras Kapoor, also carries the beneficial properties of Ras Kapoor. This medicine helps expel mucus from the lungs and the nerves in cases of convulsions, phlegmatic fevers, and mucus accumulation in the chest. It destroys pathogens, stimulates the lungs and heart, and calms the disease.
When the fever is diagnosed as being phlegmatic and convulsive, starting the use of Mall Sindoor with the proper supporting remedies prevents the progression of the condition and reduces the severity of the symptoms in all stages. However, along with the medication, fasting and other supportive measures are also needed.
If symptoms such as a rattling sound in the throat due to mucus, a mild cough, half-open eyes, pupils rolling upward, drowsiness, delirium, or periods of sleep in between episodes, along with fever at a tolerable level, are observed, Mall Sindoor should be administered.
In Case Of Influenza And Pneumonia
In conditions of mucus accumulation in pneumonia and influenza, this remedy proves to be highly beneficial. When there is mucus buildup, and the lungs or the airways within them become weakened, leading to difficulty in expelling the phlegm, this medicine should be used. During the later stages of influenza, when the strength of the lungs declines, and breathing becomes shallow and slow, Mall Sindoor is highly useful. Mall Sindoor stimulates both the heart and lungs, and it also activates the nervous system and airways, helping improve the patient’s deteriorating condition.
However, if there is a predominance of bile, blood appears with mucus, or symptoms such as stomach fire and vomiting are present, Mall Sindoor should not be administered. When the fever is very high, the use of this remedy is not recommended, as it may increase blood circulation and raise pressure in the brain.
In cases where pneumonia or excessive mucus buildup is accompanied by convulsions, nausea, and drowsiness, administering 1–2 doses of Mall Sindoor is advisable. Mall Sindoor is an excellent remedy for reducing mucus. When there is excessive mucus accumulation in the lungs, wheezing sounds during breathing, difficulty in inhaling or exhaling, a weak pulse, sweating on the forehead, cold extremities, drowsiness, unconsciousness, pupils rolling upward, and slurred speech, the patient’s life becomes uncertain. If the chest congestion decreases, there is hope for recovery, which can be achieved with Mall Sindoor.
In cases of recurrent fevers with associated mucus disorders, Mall Sindoor eliminates the pathogens (Mycobacterium tuberculosis) responsible for the disease, leading to recovery. (Ref: Ayurvedic Texts)
Expels The Toxin of Syphilis and Gonorrhoea
Even after the suppression of syphilis and gonorrhea, their adverse effects often remain, causing conditions such as blood disorders, arthritis, paralysis, rectal prolapse, eye inflammation, leprosy, and other complications that tend to recur. This remedy addresses the root cause of these lingering effects, eliminating them and restoring the body to a disease-free state.
Instructions:
In chronic cases of syphilis and related diseases, if this remedy is to be taken for more than 15 days, it should be discontinued after 15 days for 5-7 days. During this break, cooling and toxin-eliminating medicines like Praval (coral) should be taken. After the break, resume using this remedy for another 15 days. This method of taking breaks ensures careful management of the treatment. If swelling around the eyes, inflammation in the nose or chest, or any increase in burning sensation occurs, immediately stop the medication.
For patients with syphilis and gonorrhea, combining Mall Sindoor with Shilajit is particularly beneficial.
