Cinnabar or Hingul or Hingulu bhasama is a medicine rarely used in the Ayurvedic system. It has heavy metal ingredients and is not to be used without proper supervision. It must be used for a short period of time in a minimum possible dose. But the potent health benefits of Cinnabar made it one of the powerful medicines in the Ayurvedic system. Let us see how the Ayurvedic system utilizes Cinnabar for the treatment of various health issues.

Cinnabar in Ayurveda:

Cinnabar is an Ayurvedic medicine that is prepared from the red sulphide preparations of mercury. Since it has a metallic ingredient, it is commonly called as Hingulu Bhasma in Ayurveda. According to Ayurveda, Cinnabar calms vitiated Kapha and pitta doshas. It is used as a single remedy or as an ingredient in various herbo-mineral preparations in Ayurveda. It also has cell rejuvenating, anti-aging, and digestion strengthening properties. Here are a few potential health benefits of Cinnabar.

Health benefits of Cinnabar

1. Cinnabar for skin problems

One of the main health benefits of Cinnabar in Ayurveda is its ability to treat various skin diseases. Skin problems are mainly caused due to the imbalance of pitta dosha. Since Cinnabar calms pitta dosha, it is greatly beneficial for skin and skin-related problems. 

2. Cinnabar for digestion

According to Ayurveda, Cinnabar is a Deepana (It improves digestion strength). Cinnabar is a powerful ingredient that can be used to improve digestion. It brings immunity to the digestive system and naturally strengthens the whole digestive system. It also fights nausea.

3. Cinnabar for fever

Cinnabar has a cooling and soothing effect on the human body. Consuming very small doses of Hingula Bhasma helps bring down high body temperature during fever. It also acts against microbial infection.

4. Cinnabar for immunity

Cinnabar has immunity-boosting properties that help build a stronger immune system. Ingesting Cinnabar with long pepper powder flushes out the toxins out of your body and thus makes your immunity system strong and healthy.

5. Cinnabar for liver and spleen

According to Ayurveda, Cinnabar is one of the potent medicines to treat liver and spleen diseases. The hepatoprotective properties of Cinnabar protect the liver from damages and improves liver strength. It is also used to treat arthritis and jaundice.

Although Cinnabar is a metallic ingredient, Ayurveda has found an effective way to purify and use it for the benefit of mankind. Thus, these are the potent health benefits of Cinnabar
