Parpati rasayana is one among them with unique operative procedures. In contrary to the general method Shweta parpati is one such formulation that is devoid of mercury and sulphur and is still named after parpati rasayana owing to similar method of preparation. Few references of Shweta parpati in different names with slight variations in the ingredients may be cited in classical literatures. Pharmaceutical study to evaluate their differences have been taken up. Researches, both invivo and invitro, have been carried out to elicit its utility in various ailments.
