Samirpannag Ras For Respiratory & Nerve Health

A herbal remedy for respiratory and nerve health, offering relief from hemiplegia, sciatica, and vata-kapha conditions with Ayurvedic guidance

Composition Or Preparation Method

Method – Take purified mercury, purified sulfur, purified mica (shuddh som), purified iron pyrite (mainmasil), and purified orpiment (hartal), 10 grams each, and grind them into a fine powder. Next, provide continuous processing with aloe vera or tulsi (holy basil) juice for three days. After that, place the mixture in a tightly sealed earthen pot, and heat it for 50 to 60 hours. As a result, a black, radiant, and hard Samirpannag Ras will be formed.

If moderate heat is provided for approximately 16 hours, the process of sulfur digestion completes. After sealing the vessel, high heat is applied for 26 hours. The original text mentions that eight cycles of heat (equivalent to 24 hours) are necessary to prepare the talasya elixir.

Note

Statement – Many physicians prepare Talastha Rasayan by mixing gold and applying mild heat for 48 hours. This product is known as Suvarna Samirpannag. However, due to the inclusion of gold and its preparation under mild heat, the elixir’s potency is not exceptional. Upon use, it has been found to exhibit specific side effects.

Dosage

3 to 2 ratti (approximately 375 mg to 250 mg), 2 to 3 times a day, administered with betel leaf or ginger juice, and accompanied by dahad (terminalia chebula). For relieving breathlessness or mucus secretion in respiratory conditions, it should be given with a decoction of Vasa leaves, licorice, bahera, bharangi, and sugar.

Usage

This elixir pacifies diseases such as tridosha imbalance, pneumonia-related anxiety, arthritis, mania, cough, asthma, fever, and cold. It contains Somal, Hartal, and Mainmasil—all of which are highly potent and hot in nature, with Somal being predominant among them. While it is stronger than Mallabhasma, Mallapushpa, or Mallasindoor , it is still safer. In cases where Mallabhasma poses risks, Samirpannag can be used with reduced concerns.

For Cough & Respiratory

Despite the inclusion of Somal in this elixir, even when administered in larger quantities (resulting in a higher amount of Somal), no toxic effects are observed. This diminished toxicity results from the chemical combination. Samirpannag, Mallasindoor, and Panchsuta—all three contain Somal. Thus, all three are potent medicines, sharing similarities in their properties and having distinct features.

Mallasindoor is extremely sharp, explosive, and effective in producing potency in delicate tissues. In comparison, Panchsuta is less intense than Mallasindoor and causes less harm to the delicate tissues while helping in transforming accumulated phlegm. Although Samirpannag is prepared similarly to Mallasindoor, it is less intense, less explosive, and less irritating.

Samirpannag does not irritate the delicate tissues inside the respiratory tract and lungs. Instead, it stimulates mucus secretion and, after expelling the doshas, helps restore the normal function of the affected area.

By using Samirpannag, stubborn phlegm or mucus accumulated inside the bronchial tubes due to chronic respiratory issues or vata-related disorders is expelled, thereby eliminating the obstruction. Thus, Samirpannag is especially effective in conditions where vata and kapha dominate, such as chronic cough or respiratory disorders.

Mallasindoor helps dry out phlegm, but it can cause dryness in the throat and airways. Meanwhile, Panchsuta reduces the foul odor associated with accumulated phlegm by transforming the fluid into mucus. On the other hand, Samirpannag stimulates the airways and lung tissues, leading to the release of mucus and cleansing of the respiratory passages.

Therefore,  Samirpannag is highly effective in conditions where mucus secretion has been induced and the presence of kapha-vata-related cough and respiratory issues persists.

For Pleurisy

If pleurisy becomes acute, Panchsuta is more beneficial than Samirpannag. This is because Panchsuta is better at transforming and balancing the accumulated fluids in pleurisy, a quality that Samirpannag lacks.

In respiratory diseases dominated by vata and kapha, however, Samirpannag proves to be very effective, whereas Panchsuta is used less frequently. When Samirpannag is given for such conditions, the tough phlegm begins to loosen. For this, mix 3 to 1 ratti (375 mg to 125 mg) of Samirpannag with 3 ratti (375 mg) of borax (sohaga) and administer it with honey. Additionally, provide a decoction made of licorice, bahera, sugar, and vasa leaves. If required, administer this decoction 2 to 3 times at intervals of 6 to 8 hours. This decoction acts as a suppressant and expectorant, helping to quickly expel the phlegm and relieve respiratory distress. For more intense relief, giving Samirpannag with betel leaves helps restore internal strength.

Since Samirpannag is both energizing and restorative, it is beneficial after fever and severe diseases. Administering a very small dose (1 ratti, 125 mg) twice a day, mixed with tankan bhasma (calcined borax), can provide excellent results for recovery.

Chronic coughs can vary in nature. Some individuals develop this disorder during the rainy season, others during winter, and still others at the onset of spring. These seasonal variations result from the aggravation of different doshas. If the disorder subsides temporarily, the doshas remain latent in the body, causing recurrent flare-ups. Prolonged exposure to cold environments or damp places, such as poorly ventilated houses with moisture seeping through walls, often triggers respiratory issues.

Even if the symptoms diminish temporarily, the disease tends to return with environmental triggers like cold air or sudden rainfall. These recurrent attacks weaken vitality over time. In such cases, changing the living environment or following strict health practices is essential. However, even with such efforts, complete recovery may not occur, as the doshas can become deeply rooted in the body at a subtle level. The key to managing chronic conditions lies in addressing the specific combination of factors that first triggered the disorder. If not properly addressed, the same symptoms will continue to reappear.

Due to adverse conditions, the interaction of doshas creates physical imbalances. When such disorders receive favorable conditions, they reactivate and display their impact. Just as dormant seeds become active when exposed to summer heat or fire, similarly, the seeds of these disorders remain latent and resurface with suitable conditions. Thus, this disease becomes chronic by nature. Chronic conditions are numerous, and some of them are particularly troublesome. When mucus accumulates repeatedly in the membranes, phlegm discharge occurs frequently.

In chronic respiratory disorders, the trachea, respiratory tract, bronchial network, and lung tissues become impaired. Although some elasticity returns to the membranes, small ruptures occur, leading to phlegm buildup. While treatment can help expel mucus and create a temporary sense of wellness, the seeds of the disease remain dormant. Therefore, the primary focus of treatment should be on eradicating these latent seeds.

There are many other types of chronic diseases, including skin conditions. For instance, patients suffering from eczema, scabies, psoriasis, ringworm, hives, blisters, and pimples often experience these disorders from childhood, and they persist throughout their lives. These conditions may appear in one area at a time, only to emerge later in another form elsewhere. The symptoms often include itching, restlessness, mood swings, and instability in behavior.

A peculiar pattern emerges with these chronic diseases. When the skin disease is active, respiratory issues such as cough tend to decrease or disappear. However, when the skin condition subsides, internal disorders like kapha-dominant ailments become more aggressive. Both the symptoms that appear on the skin and those indicating future phlegm buildup arise from the same type of doshic imbalance.

In conditions caused by kapha or a combination of kapha and vata, Samirpannag proves to be very effective. Samirpannag should be administered once a day without any additional medication, as combining other medicines may hinder its effectiveness.

 

Cures Various Complications Arthritis, Blood Disorders, Skin Diseases & Chronic Paralysis

For respiratory disorders, 1 ratti (125 mg) of Samirpannag daily helps regulate the doshic imbalance. The precise dosage and method ensure that the medication works without interference, allowing it to address both respiratory and skin-related conditions effectively.

This formulation cures various complications like arthritis, blood disorders, skin diseases, chronic paralysis, and other severe ailments associated with syphilis or pus formation. Additionally, it is highly effective in conditions like glossitis (tongue inflammation), dhanurvata (tetanus), and other nervous disorders when combined with kapha. Samirpannag works well for convulsions and helps alleviate spasms and digestive disorders. When taken with nourishing supplements, it provides even better results.

In kapha-dominant psychosis, Samirpannag reduces the aggravation of vata and kapha, thereby calming the disease. In chronic fevers, phlegm production is usually more pronounced than sweating. In such cases, Samirpannag offers significant relief.

It also addresses digestive symptoms like abdominal heaviness, indigestion, nausea, excessive salivation, acid reflux, and accumulation of undigested food in the stomach. Whenever these signs appear, Samirpannag proves to be highly beneficial.

When vomiting and diarrhea become excessive, they can lead to fatigue, coldness in the extremities, weak pulse, exhaustion, and profuse sweating. In such situations, massaging the body with dry ginger (sonth) and mustard oil helps stimulate the body. Additionally, administering Samirpannag along with Mandur Bhasma (iron oxide ash), Suvarna Makshika Bhasma (copper pyrite ash), Praval Pishti (coral calcium), ginger juice, and honey every 10 minutes can revive the patient and restore warmth to the body. Once the patient regains consciousness, Sutsekhar Ras and Sanjeevani Vati should be administered to aid recovery.

When chronic fevers persist for extended periods, bacteria multiply, leading to complications. In advanced stages, patients may experience wheezing, shortness of breath, chest pain, mucus accumulation, and anxiety. During such critical conditions, administering 4 ratti (500 mg) of Samirpannag mixed with garlic juice, three times a day, provides substantial relief. Simultaneously, massaging the chest with warm sandalwood oil or Bala oil accelerates the healing process. However, it is essential to first induce bowel movements using castor oil to ensure proper detoxification before starting the treatment.

Dosage and Usage

Dosage and Usage :According to the First Method

This chemical provides swift relief for airway-related diseases, as opposed to the primary formulation. In this second method, the prepared chemical has been utilized many times by Swamishri Harisharanandaji with honey to treat conditions like hemiplegia and sciatica. For hemiplegia, the benefits derived from this surpass those of any other medicine. Thus, even the oldest sciatica patients have recovered with this treatment. In hemiplegia and paralysis, blood pressure tends to increase, and this treatment not only reduces it but also relieves the condition. Compared to the primary method, this chemical is more potent and appears dark black in color. Many physicians use it similarly to “Hemagarbha Potali Ras,” grinding it in basil juice and administering it in cases of vata-kapha dominant fevers.

Instructions

When preparing “Samirpannag” in a flask, keep the cork lightly sealed; however, avoid sealing it firmly with wax. Use very low heat, or pause the heating intermittently. Every half-hour or every hour, remove and reapply the cork to release any generated fumes. This prevents excessive accumulation of gas, which could otherwise cause the flask to burst. When sulfur completely sublimes, consider the chemical ready. The cooking process may take an additional 2-4 hours or may require less time.

If the base color of Samirpannag has not turned dark and shiny or appears not adequately hardened, consider it undercooked, and continue with low heat for another 4-6 hours as needed. If there are deficiencies in the chemical, it will start to emit a foul smell like black salt in a few days, and a white residue will appear on the chemical. Such impure chemicals should be combined with sulfur, moistened, processed in a sand bath, and sublimed with heat for further refinement.
