Pharmaceutical standardization is the first step towards preparation of safe and effective medicines. Trinetra Rasa, an Ayurvedic herbo-mineral preparation is one of formulation which is indicated in life threatening condition such as cardiovascular diseases.

Extraction of mercury from cinnabar, purification of sulphur, preparation of mercurus sulphide (Kajjali), purification of Abhraka, Dhanyabrikarna and incineration of Abhraka are the procedures required to be performed before preparation of Trinetra Rasa. 20 Puta were required for preparation of Abhraka bhasma. Trinetra Rasa can be prepared from Parada extracted from Hingula, Shuddha Gandhaka, Abhraka bhasma. Arjuna twak qwatha is needed for 21 Bhavana. Analytical profile of Trinetra rasa indicates that it is highly complex structure and predominantly oxide form with Hg-0.31%, S-3.27%, Fe-1.59%, O- 31.53%, C-49.94%, Al-4.60%, Si-5.81%,Mg-0.55%,K-2.41%.
