Kaseesa is one of the iron compound which is explained in Rasashastra under Uparasa group. It is identified as iron sulphate or ferrous sulphate, also known as green vitriol. It can be synthetically prepared in the lab, which is called as artificial kasees or kritrima kaseesa. Regarding these references are noted in the Rasagranthas like Rasatarangini. Shudda Loha Churna, Sura (ethanol) and diluted Gandhakamla (Sulfuric acid) are using for the preparation of artificial Kaseesa. Method of preparation is according to Rasatarangini 21st Taranga 234 to 239th shloka. Shudda Loha Churna and Diluted Gandhakamla (Sulfuric acid) with distil water (that is 1:9 respectively) are collectively taken in beaker. There will be exothermic reaction between Iron and diluted sulfuric acid leading to changes in color and Physical appearance of artificial Kaseesa can be observed in the beaker was noticed. shudda Loha Churna used for the preparation of Artificial Kaseesa is about 60gms and final quantity of artificial Kaseesa we got is about 58.620gms, and diluted sulfuric acid used is 220ml and filtration of mixer of diluted sulfuric acid and Shudda Loha Churna is about 180ml and ethanol used for the preparation of artificial Kaseesa is 180ml that is equal to filtrate.
