Somnath Ras is herbo-mineral Ayurvedic medicine indicated in the treatment of Soma-roga (diabetes), leucorrhoea and urinary problems. It is alterative, tonic and Rasayana. Some pharmacies such as Baidyanath prepare this medicine with Swarna (gold) and Rajat (silver) Bhasma. Due to diabetes there is continuous loss of nutrients from the body that causes weakness, fatigue, low energy, burning in hands and feet, pain in the body, etc. In such conditions Somnatha rasa is taken with Prawal bhasma, Sitopaladi churna, Shudha Shilajit and honey.
