Without sodhana, we cannot use any drug in Ayurvedic formulations. That’s why sodhana is very essential in Ayurvedic herbo-mineral preparations. For efficacy and safety of the drug, proper sodhana is important. Also, by sodhana process, we can improve the qualities of the basic elements of the drug to exert its good effect. Navasara is one of the 8 sadharana rasas explained by various rasa books. It is also included in ksaravarga and lavanavarga by different acharyas. According to Rasa Ratna Samuchaya, sodhana of Navasara is done by dissolving it in water, then filtering, and the filtrate is heated until it gets completely dried. Here, an attempt is made to review the sodhana of Navasara by this method.
