Kamini Vidravan Rasa — The Classical Formula, Without Afim
Kamini Vidravan Rasa is recorded in the Bhaishajya Ratnavali — the textual authority printed as भे.र. on the Lion carton — within the classical Vajikara and Stambhaka preparation categories. The Rajnighantu and other classical compilations describe preparations of this class as Balya (strengthening) and Rasayana in character. This Lion formulation is prepared without Afim (opium/Ahiphena) — printed explicitly on both the Hindi face (अफीम रहित) and the English face (WITHOUT AFIM) of the pack. Classical KVR formulations can include Afim. This version does not, and the manufacturer states this openly. We state it here for the same reason the pack does.
The formulation carries eleven ingredients, all prepared to the Arya Bhishak (A.B.) standard. Eight are classical herbs in equal proportion (5.88% each). Shuddha Hingul and Shuddha Gandhak appear at 2.94% each. Ajamo (Hyoscyamus niger seed, A.B.) at 47.06% is the dominant constituent and the principal classical Stambhaka ingredient in this yoga. Manufactured by Shree Narnarayan Ayurvedic Pharmacy, Changodar, Ahmedabad (Mfg. Lic. No. GA/1646), in a GMP- and ISO 9001:2015-certified facility.
Shuddha Hingul — The Rasashastra Preparation
Shuddha Hingul is natural cinnabar (Parada-Gandhaka compound, α-HgS) taken through Shodhana — the classical Rasashastra purification procedure. Hingul is the classical Ayurvedic name for naturally occurring cinnabar. The Shuddha (purified) prefix records that Shodhana has been performed, removing the raw ore’s surface impurities and preparing it for pharmaceutical use. The result is a processed mineral — not the raw stone — prepared to the Arya Bhishak standard at 2.94% of each pill.
X-ray diffraction work by the Central Council for Research in Ayurvedic Sciences on a classical Rasaushadhi containing this compound identified the processed mineral as α-mercuric sulphide, cinnabar — a distinct nanocrystalline compound whose chemical identity differs from the raw material that preceded the Samskara (PMID 29269973, Ancient Science of Life, CCRAS, 2017). Shuddha Gandhak at 2.94% — purified sulfur, also Shodhana-processed — accompanies it, following the classical pairing of Parada and Gandhaka in Rasashastra preparations.
The Botanical Group
Eight herbs at equal proportion (5.88% each) complete the formula. Akalgaro (Anacyclus pyrethrum, root, A.B.) — Pellitory root, classically described as Katu and Vatahara. Sunth (Zingiber officinale, rhizome, A.B.) — dry ginger, one of Ayurveda’s foundational Deepana herbs. Laving (Syzygium aromaticum, flower bud, A.B.) — cloves, Katu and Ushna in classical pharmacology. Kesar (Crocus sativus, style and stigma, A.B.) — saffron, classically described as Hridya and Balya.
Pipar (Piper longum, fruit, A.B.) — Pippali, a classical Rasayana herb and potent Deepana agent. Jayphal (Myristica fragrans, fruit, A.B.) and Javantri (Myristica fragrans, fruit aril, A.B.) — nutmeg and mace, the seed and outer covering of the same plant, classically included together for their complementary Stambhaka qualities. Safed Chandan (Santalum album, wood, A.B.) — white sandalwood, traditionally described as Sheeta, Pittashamaka, and Hridya in classical texts.
Research on the Constituents
◆ A Central Council for Research in Ayurvedic Sciences study characterising a classical Rasaushadhi by X-ray diffraction identified its mercurial component as cinnabar — α-mercuric sulphide (HgS), arising from the Rasashastra Samskara — confirming that Shodhana and Marana produce a distinct compound from the raw mineral — Ota S, Singh A, Srikanth N, Sreedhar B, Ruknuddin G, Dhiman KS (2017), Ancient Science of Life 36(4):207–214, CCRAS — PMID 29269973.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Kamini Vidravan Rasa?
Kamini Vidravan Rasa is a classical Vajikara and Stambhaka Rasaushadhi recorded in the Bhaishajya Ratnavali (भे.र.). This Lion formulation is prepared without Afim (opium) — stated explicitly on the pack. Each pill contains eleven ingredients, with Ajamo (Hyoscyamus niger seed, 47.06%) as the principal constituent, prepared to the Arya Bhishak standard. Net content 5 g. Manufactured by Shree Narnarayan Ayurvedic Pharmacy, Changodar, Ahmedabad. Mfg. Lic. GA/1646.
What does ‘Without Afim’ mean on the label?
Afim is the classical Sanskrit/Hindi term for opium (Ahiphena). Classical KVR formulations can include Afim for its Stambhaka (delaying) properties. This Lion formulation specifically excludes Afim — printed on the Hindi face (अफीम रहित) and the English face (WITHOUT AFIM) of the pack. The Stambhaka function in this version rests primarily on the Ajamo (Hyoscyamus niger seed) constituent.
What is the classical category of this preparation?
The Lion carton states वाजीकर एवं स्तम्भक — Vajikara and Stambhaka. These are classical Ayurvedic preparation categories recorded in the Bhaishajya Ratnavali. What that means for your particular situation is a clinical judgement that belongs to your qualified Ayurvedic physician, who has examined you.
What is Shuddha Hingul in this formulation?
Shuddha Hingul is natural cinnabar (α-mercuric sulphide, HgS) that has been through Shodhana — the classical Rasashastra purification procedure. Hingul is the classical name for naturally occurring cinnabar. The Shuddha prefix records that Shodhana has been completed. In this formula it appears at 2.94%, paired with Shuddha Gandhak (purified sulfur), both prepared to the Arya Bhishak standard.
What is Ajamo in this preparation?
On this label, Ajamo (Sd.) refers specifically to the seed of Hyoscyamus niger, prepared to the Arya Bhishak (A.B.) standard — not the common kitchen Ajwain (Trachyspermum ammi). The botanical name on the label is definitive. It is the dominant ingredient at 47.06% and is the principal Stambhaka constituent of this classical yoga. This is why the preparation requires strict medical supervision.
Is this GMP and ISO certified?
Yes. Shree Narnarayan Ayurvedic Pharmacy, the manufacturer, carries both GMP Certified and ISO 9001:2015 certification seals, verified on the physical carton. These are facility quality certifications, not product health claims.
What is the classical text reference for this medicine?
The Bhaishajya Ratnavali (भे.र.), printed on the carton. The Bhaishajya Ratnavali is one of the authoritative post-classical compilations of Ayurvedic formulations. The Lion carton’s abbreviation भे.र. is the standard short form of this text.
What is the dose and anupan?
The outer pack states: चिकित्सक के निर्देशानुसार लें — as directed by the physician. No numeric dose is printed on the outer carton. Dose, anupan (vehicle) and duration are set by your Vaidya based on your examination. Do not self-determine the dose.
Can I take this without seeing a doctor?
No. This is a physician-prescribed classical Rasaushadhi. The manufacturer’s caution printed on the pack — ‘To be taken under medical supervision only’ — states the category standard plainly. Consult a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner before use.
How should I store Kamini Vidravan Rasa?
In a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture, tightly closed after every use. Do not refrigerate. Keep out of reach of children.
