Rasayana means rejuvenation therapy, meant to provide the required nourishment to the body for both physical and mental well-being. Metals and minerals in Ayurveda are used, for both preventive and curative means. Kupipakva rasayana is one such popular and commonly used preparation, mainly used for rejuvenation therapy and in critical illnesses as an emergency drug. The method preparation of Kupipakva rasayana is unique, which substantiates the knowledge of alchemy prevailing in ancient India.
