At Gadwal Ayurveda, we preserve the authenticity of classical Ayurvedic formulations by following time-tested methods. Bol parpati is one such traditional preparation made using the Parpati Kalpana technique of Rasashastra. This formulation is especially valued for its role in managing digestive and intestinal disorders.
Bol parpati is known for its Deepana (digestive stimulant) and Pachana (digestive) actions. It is commonly prescribed in conditions where digestion is weak and toxins (Ama) accumulate in the gastrointestinal tract.
Classical Reference of Bol Parpati in Ayurveda
Bol parpati is described in classical Ayurvedic texts such as Bhaishajya Ratnavali and Rasa Tarangini. These texts highlight its effectiveness in Grahani Roga, Atisara (diarrhoea), and chronic digestive imbalances. Ancient Acharyas emphasised its quick action due to its thin, flake-like form.
Understanding Parpati Kalpana
Parpati Kalpana is a unique pharmaceutical process in Ayurveda where purified mercury and sulphur are melted and spread into thin layers. This process enhances absorption, reduces heaviness, and improves therapeutic potency.
Bol parpati uses this method to deliver its effects directly to the digestive system, making it highly effective in gut-related disorders.
Bol Parpati Ingredients
The effectiveness of bol parpati depends on its carefully selected and purified ingredients.
Shuddha Parada (Purified Mercury)
Parada acts as a Yogavahi, meaning it carries the medicinal properties deep into the tissues and enhances overall efficacy.
Shuddha Gandhaka (Purified Sulphur)
Gandhaka stabilizes mercury and contributes antimicrobial and digestive properties. It supports balance of Vata and Kapha doshas.
Shuddha Bol (Purified Bol Resin)
Bol, traditionally identified as a resin similar to myrrh, is known for its Grahi (absorbent) and Krimighna (anti-microbial) properties. It plays a key role in controlling loose stools and intestinal infections.
