Murcchana is the process in which mercurial compounds develop definite vyadhighatakatva property or potency

Cont…………….

In this mercury with or without sulphur converts in such a suitable compound, from which it could be used internally in body for curing diseases even without being reduced /converted to ashes.

Through this process mercury & mercurial compounds should develop definite disease curing capacity & after murcchana mercury may not return to its original form.
