Composition & Preparation Method
Method: Take 5 tolas (58 grams) each of purified Tin, purified Mercury, and purified Lead, 4 tolas (46 grams) of Navasadar (Ammonium Chloride), and 1 tola (12 grams) of Calomel. First, melt the Tin in a pan and then mix it with Mercury. After that, add Lead and stir. Mix the solution with salt water and grind it for two days. After this, wash it 5-7 times to remove the salt, then dry it. Next, add Sulfur to the mixture to form kajjali (black mixture). Afterward, mix in Navasadar and Calomel, grind it, and place the mixture in a heated container. Apply heat in a sand bath for 4 hours to prepare the medicine. Since salt accumulates at the bottom of the container, frequently clean it by wiping with a hot cloth. Once the mixture turns red in 8-10 hours, seal the lid and continue applying heat for 16 hours to finalize the preparation. This Swarna Vanga is also called Mask Mriganka. Upon melting the mixture, a golden, light ash-like Swarna Vanga will appear, along with salt and Vanga Sindoor, which can also be used as medicines. (Source: Rasa Texts)
Note: Swarna Vanga should not be overheated, as the Calomel might catch fire, which could burn the ash and turn it black. If this happens, immediately cover the container to extinguish the fire. When Sulfur is fully absorbed, adding Calomel afterward reduces the risk of fire. The color of the final product will be golden with a slight yellowish tint, similar to a minted coin. If a pure gold color is desired, wash the Swarna Vanga with warm water, dry it, and the color will lighten slightly while improving the quality.
If the Swarna Vanga turns black, wash it 2-4 times with water, dry it, and then reprocess it with kajjali and Navasadar using the same method.
Dosage & To Cure Diabetes, Nightfall & Sexual Weakness
Dosage: Take 2 to 3 ratti (250 to 375 mg) with honey, butter, or sugar.
Uses: This medicine is excellent for boosting strength, enhancing energy, and improving mental clarity and digestion. It treats diabetes, nightfall, cough, and sexual weakness, making the body stronger. When mixed with salt and honey, it moistens dry cough and improves digestion and urinary function. Swarna Vanga given with honey or butter is highly effective for treating respiratory issues like cough and asthma, strengthening the body overall.
Although Swarna Vanga is known for its beauty and popularity, the therapeutic qualities do not significantly surpass that of Tin Ash (Vang Bhasma), as per the observations of renowned Ayurvedic scholars. However, there are differing views on this matter, and the final verdict on its efficacy is left to medical professionals.
Swarna Vanga Curing Bladder-Related Disorders.
Swarna Vanga is highly effective in treating Prameha (diabetes). It removes toxins absorbed in the body due to this condition and strengthens the body through its powerful rejuvenating properties. Additionally, it helps to eliminate complications associated with Prameha, such as impotence, skin disorders, and other related issues. This ash expels toxins from the bloodstream through urine and strengthens the sensory organs and the urinary system, gradually curing bladder-related disorders.
When sensory organs become impaired, toxins build up, and if the urinary system weakens, the body fails to expel these toxins, leading to conditions like diabetes (Prameha). In such cases, medicines that detoxify the body and eliminate retained impurities should be administered. Swarna Vanga works in both of these capacities. However, care should be taken not to prescribe any obstructive or binding treatments, as they can cause harm.
Both Prameha and Puyameha are diseases related to urinary disorders, but they differ significantly. Prameha arises from imbalances in the organs responsible for urine production and excretion, whereas Puyameha (gonorrhea) is caused by bacterial infections like Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Puyameha is a contagious disease that can be transmitted through sexual contact with an infected person. It causes inflammation, pus, burning sensation, and pain in the urinary tract. While Swarna Vanga may not be useful in the acute stages of Puyameha, it is highly beneficial once the infection subsides, aiding in tissue repair, reducing burning and pain, and relieving discomfort in the urinary organs.
For chronic conditions, Swarna Vanga, combined with Praval Pishti, Shilajit, and Gava Piroja, can be administered twice daily to eliminate toxins and restore health. If pus formation persists, a mixture of Swarna Vanga, Roupya Bhasma, Bamboo Silica, and Amrita Satva given with cream and sugar can help.
For Skin Disease, Chronic Eczema, Rheumatoid Arthritis
Swarna Vanga is particularly effective in the second and third stages of Puyameha (gonorrhea-related disorders). It should be combined with Apamarga Rasayana or Mall Sindoor during this phase for optimal results. This formulation helps heal the sores and boils that form on the body. While mercury-based remedies are recommended in the initial stages, Swarna Vanga becomes more beneficial as the disease progresses. In chronic gonorrhea-related conditions, combining Swarna Vanga with Sariva and Manjishthadi Kwath (herbal decoction) yields excellent results.
Swarna Vanga is also highly effective for treating skin diseases caused by various infections. It works well for chronic eczema, ulcerous wounds, profuse sweating, and skin infections caused by pus and toxins. In such conditions, it is recommended to administer Swarna Vanga for 7 days, then pause for 7 days, and resume for another 7 days. Additionally, mild laxatives like castor oil should be used to support the treatment. Swarna Vanga also helps alleviate impotence that often accompanies gonorrhea.
For conditions like gout, Swarna Vanga works effectively as an anti-inflammatory agent, particularly in cases caused by infections or toxins. It also provides relief in rheumatoid arthritis. Combining Swarna Vanga with Mahayogaraj Guggulu, Rasna, and other anti-inflammatory herbs can help manage such ailments.
Swarna Vanga is also beneficial in treating chronic eye conditions caused by gonorrhea, where inflammation of the eyes is prevalent. Its effectiveness extends to treating respiratory issues like dry cough, throat irritation, and nausea caused by constant coughing. Administering Swarna Vanga with aam ka murabba (mango preserve) offers immediate relief in such conditions.
In cases of increased Pitta and Vata doshas, particularly when Pitta has accumulated, Swarna Vanga proves to be very effective. It also helps in the treatment of enlarged glands.
Restore Physical Strength
The primary function of Swarna Vanga is to restore the body’s natural balance by replenishing the lost tissues. The body undergoes daily wear and tear, which is naturally compensated by tissue regeneration. When this regeneration process is disrupted due to various reasons, the quantity of bodily tissues such as blood and muscle starts to decrease. This leads to weight loss and physical weakness, which can worsen over time. In such cases, where no clear cause is identified, Swarna Vanga is an excellent remedy to restore physical strength, regulate bodily functions, and act as a rejuvenating tonic.
Swarna Vanga is often mixed with Shilajit, Silver Ash, and Praval Pishti to enhance its benefits. Although these combinations work well, Swarna Vanga can also be administered independently for optimal results.
Swarna Vanga is known for its ability to enhance strength, regulate tissue nourishment, and act as a purifier. It is particularly beneficial in treating chronic gonorrhea and syphilis, and it strengthens the urinary system. This medicine helps balance Pitta and Vata doshas, supports blood and muscle health, and provides relief to the urinary and reproductive systems, as well as the kidneys.
In cases of leucorrhea (white discharge), accompanied by weakness, paleness, and heat, Swarna Vanga mixed with Swarnamashik Bhasma and Godanti Bhasma, taken with Madhuka Avaleha (a herbal jam), can eliminate all associated complications.
For respiratory conditions, especially to expel phlegm, Swarna Vanga can be given with Vasakshar, Licorice, and Bahera powder. If the cough persists, adding Jahar Mohra Pishti and Lohvan Pishti to the treatment provides quick relief. To address issues like breathlessness, heart palpitations, and phlegm production, Swarna Vanga taken with Pippli root and honey reduces nighttime symptoms and improves overall well-being.
When air gets trapped in the skin, it can lead to shiny, wart-like growths on the skin. These warts can be small, hard, and close together, and if left untreated, the condition becomes chronic. In such cases, applying a poultice made from betel leaves while taking Swarna Vanga with Yavakshar and Triphala powder after meals twice daily provides quick relief. If new growths appear, they can be stopped from progressing.
Composition and Preparation Method Part 2
Take 5 tolas (58 grams) each of Navasadar (Ammonium Chloride), sea salt, and Mercury, and grind them together. Seal this mixture in a container and apply heat for 12 hours. After the container has cooled, remove the Navasadar sublimates that have formed at the top. Collect these sublimates, then mix them with an equal amount of purified Tin powder or ash. Add purified Sulfur and place the mixture in a container made of cloth and clay. Then, heat the container in a sand bath (Valuka Yantra) for two days. Once cooled, you will obtain a gold-like substance known as Swarna Vanga (also called Mask Mriganka or Suvarna Raj Vangeshwar by some Ayurvedic scholars).
Dosage: Take 2 ratti (250 mg) with cardamom powder and honey.
Uses: According to some Ayurvedic texts, this ash is said to be 100 times more beneficial than gold ash. It acts as an aphrodisiac, life-extender, and sexual stimulant. It also helps in treating all types of Prameha (urinary disorders) and diabetes, providing effective relief.
