Comment:

This is an important Ayurvedic medicine to strengthen the Kidneys and increase strength, vigor, vitality and performance. It specifically increase male sexual perofrmance and potency.
However, as it contains Lead and Cinnabar it is one of the Ayurvedic medicines recognised as being potentially dangerous, and therefore these medicines should be omitted. It will still achieve the desired results without these.

Cautions:

As it contains Lead and Mercury (Cinnabar) it is forbidden in developed countries.

Modifications:

1. If made for use in the West, Lead and Cinnabar should be omitted.
2. If desired, Gold leaf can replace Cinnabar (in lesser dose), and Tin Bhasma could replace Lead.
3. Honey can replace Sugar Syrup
