Parada due to its mystical importance in Ayurveda and Rasa shastra is briefly used for two purposes; Deha-vaad (Body rejuvenation) and Dhatu-vaad (Occult, Alchemical and Spiritual upliftment). To completely attain all the purposes, Ayurveda texts inform about Ashthadasha-Sanskar (Eighteen processes) required to purify mercury. Of these, only the first eight are recommended for Dehavaad (medicinal purposes) while the next ten steps are used only for purifying mercury in such a way that it can transform Lower metals into higher metals like gold (Loh-vaad).
