ingredients of this drug are shuddha gandhaka 16 parts, shuddha parada 8
parts, loha bhasma 4 parts, abhraka bhasma 2 parts and tamra bhasma 1 part.
- Panchamrita parpati was given orally in an increasing dosage schedule
along with madhu (honey) and jeera (cumin). The initial dosage was one ratti
(125 mg.) of parpati for three days, increasing to two rattis for a further
three days, then to a maximum of eleven rattis. The decreasing dosage
schedule for the gradual withdrawal of the medicine followed the reverse
pattern, back down to one ratti.

their intake of salt. Water was restricted and replaced by milk. Later on,
salt, water and food were totally replaced by milk. The drugs on which the
patients were dependent before the therapy were gradually tapered off and
