It also causes immunotoxicity as well as some nonspecific signs like anorexia, insomnia, headache and lassitude. Mercury and its toxicity are not new for Ayurveda and Ras Aushdhi containing mercury has found descriptions after Nagarjun kal. Vomiting, Belching, Restlessness, Excessive thirst, kushta/ leprosy, Boils Body temperature increases. These are some long term hazards of parad yog in human beings which is described in ras shastriya text. History of long term exposure of mercury, signs and symptoms of chronic toxicity and laboratory investigations for mercury level in hair, blood and urine should be help to confirm the chronic mercury toxicity. Induce emesis by 2-3 lts of kwath of 10grm Dhamargav (Luffa cylendrica) and induce purgation by 4grm snuhi (Euphorbia nerifolia) mixed with 100ml trivrit (Operculina turpethum) kwath should be help to remove the accumulated mercury on cellular level. Yog- Basti having Vata Nasaka Anuvasan Basti and Pakwashya Shodhak Niruh Basti should be help to pacify the vat prakop.
