Abstract

ABSTRACT

Ayurveda is the oldest surviving complete medical system in the world. Rasashastra and Bhaishajya kalpana is one of the branch of ayurveda that deals with the pharmaceutical processing, preparations of compound medicines and therapeutic utility of metals and minerals. There is always a necessity to properly define the identity of raw material as well as its consistency with respect to specifications. Bhasmas are unique Ayurvedic metallic preparations with herbal juices/fruits widely used for treatment of a variety of chronic ailments. Standardization of bhasma is utmost necessary to confirm its identity and to determine its quality and purity. It will also make sure the safety, effectiveness and acceptability of the product. But the most important challenges faced by these formulations are the lack of complete standardization by physicochemical, microbiological and analytical evaluation. An attempt has been made to summarize various methods available for standardization of bhasma.
