- Burning Excess Fat In The Body & Kills Germs
Composition Or Preparation Method
Method: Take 58 grams of Mansil, 116 grams of purified Mercury, and 116 grams of purified Sulfur, and mix them to form a kajjali (black mixture). Then, grind it with Aloe Vera juice and dry it. Place the mixture in a container and apply heat using the Valuka Yantra (sand bath) for two days. As the process continues, Shila Sindoor will be formed in a similar manner to Mall Sindoor. When you see white vapor, seal the container. Continue heating for another 36 hours. Remember, since Mansil is a very tough substance, it does not evaporate with mild heat. If you add finely powdered gold leaf during this process, it is called Shilachandrodaya. Shila Sindoor has a shiny black, free-from-impurities appearance. (Source: Ayurvedic Texts)
Dosage: Take 125 mg to 250 mg with honey or prepare Shila Sindoor tablets for use.
Uses To Cure Diseases
The consumption of this medicine helps in treating fatigue, obesity, skin diseases, glandular swellings, and blood disorders. The key ingredient in this formulation is Mansil, which is known to be heavy, glossy, warm, pungent, and slightly astringent. It has properties that help in eliminating Kapha, curing respiratory issues like cough and asthma, and clearing blood impurities. All these beneficial properties of Mansil are reflected in Shila Sindoor.
Burning Excess Fat In The Body & Kills Germs
Because it has properties that cut, purge, and reduce Kapha, it helps in burning excess fat and eliminates cough and asthma by clearing phlegm accumulated in the nerves. When there is an increase in body fat, excessive fat tends to accumulate around the abdomen, leading to shortness of breath even with minimal activity. The person may experience foul-smelling sweat, a diminished ability to control hunger and thirst, and increased laziness and sleepiness. By consuming this formulation, the digestive system becomes stronger, and gradually, fat is digested, helping to alleviate these issues.
Patients should reduce the intake of ghee, sugar, and rice in their diet as much as possible, avoid frequent meals, and engage in physical activities such as walking or other tasks as their strength permits.
This formulation is also beneficial due to its germ-killing and detoxifying properties. It helps in conditions such as glandular swellings, abscesses, tumors, Kapha-dominant skin diseases, enlarged lymph nodes, blood vessel blockages, and blood impurities. Regular use of Shila Sindoor destroys the pathogens responsible for diseases like glandular swellings and leprosy. It also removes toxins, dries up harmful phlegm and undigested food (ama), and purifies the blood, gradually eliminating the aforementioned diseases. When glandular swellings, abscesses, and goiters are not too advanced or when the toxins haven’t heavily spread into the blood, medication proves beneficial. However, if the disease progresses too much, even with extended medication use, it may not be curable.
Since this formulation has stimulating, toxin-destroying, purgative, and stabilizing properties, it helps in clearing undigested food, pathogens, and toxins accumulated in the stomach and intestines. It softens the intestines and relieves constipation. Additionally, due to its ghost-repelling properties, Shila Sindoor is highly effective when combined with other medicines to treat madness caused by disturbances in the air channels (Vata disorders).
