Metals and Minerals | Separate website

The Rasa Shastra website at TDU (Transdisciplinary University) is dedicated to the study and research of Ayurvedic pharmaceutical science, specifically focusing on the use of metals, minerals, and other substances in traditional medicine. It provides resources, educational materials, and research tools related to the preparation and therapeutic applications of Rasa Shastra. The platform is aimed at professionals and students interested in understanding and exploring the principles and practices of this essential branch of Ayurveda.

The Rasashastra Database compiles and translates ancient texts on metals and mineral medicines, making this traditional knowledge accessible to students, researchers, and pharmaceutical industries. Traditionally used by Vaidyas alongside herbal medicines for faster relief, these formulations have been challenged by modern scientists, partly due to their documentation in Sanskrit. To bridge this gap, the database provides interpretative translations using authoritative sources, ensuring accurate knowledge transfer. Designed for diverse users, it offers concise summaries for undergraduate students while allowing postgraduate scholars and researchers to compare texts across medicinal and alchemical traditions. The digital format fosters hypothesis generation and broad applications in academia and industry. Rooted in secondary sources and enriched with rare photographs and historical archives, the project builds on prior research, funded by India’s Department of Science and Technology. By integrating traditional wisdom with modern technology, the database aims to revitalize Rasashastra for contemporary scientific exploration.
