• How to Take: Typically mixed with milk for better absorption.

• For Children: Use half the adult dose (i.e., around 5 g) with milk (as per some sources).

• Mixing: Shake / mix well before use (since minerals and herbal powders need to be well dispersed).

Mechanism / Rationale (Traditional / Unani View)

• The mineral stones (ruby, emerald, pearl, agate) are traditionally believed to provide vital energy, “royal strength,” and help in rejuvenating the body.

• The herbs (like saffron, amla, behman) are tonic-herbs: they support nerves, digestion, and metabolism.

• Honey adds antioxidant and antibacterial-anti-inflammatory benefits, which helps in mild infection resistance and cellular repair.

• Fruit juices / rubs provide natural vitamins (like Vitamin A), making it more than just a mineral tonic — also a nutritional supplement.

• Silver leaves (used in minute amounts) are traditionally believed to support immunity.

Safety / Precautions

• Should be used as per recommended dose; avoid exceeding unless advised by a qualified Unani practitioner.

• Because it contains mineral stones, caution may be needed in certain health conditions (e.g., kidney issues) — advice from a health professional is recommended.

• Store in a cool, dry place.

• Keep out of reach of children if not using under supervision.

• Shake / mix well before each use to ensure an even dose, because mineral powders can settle.
