EXPLORING BHASMA KALPANA: INSIGHTS INTO THE STANDARDIZATION OF TAMRA BHASMA

Ayurvedic literature places a lot of emphasis on the Sanskara medicinal method. The goal of this procedure is to improve the drug's properties. Bhasmas are typically given as both metallic and non-metallic minerals; they are an ash that is produced by burning. The medication is more effective because of the different cleansing and cooking processes (Shodhana, Maarana, and assimilation of herbal juices, Bhawna). The finished product is transformed into Bhasma (1-2 u) nanoparticles by a variety of manufacturing techniques, which may aid in the drug's absorption and assimilation. The product's acceptability and effectiveness are confirmed by the physical and chemical Ayurvedic testing. Standardization is essential to verify the identify and assess the product's efficacy, purity, and quality. Bhasmas stimulate the enzymes responsible for metabolizing drugs and improve bioavailability through the digestive tract.

These mineral and metal therapies work instantly and are used in very little quantities due to their high efficacy. The absence of total uniformity by physicochemical characteristics, however, is the most obstacle. Thus, the primary goal of this paper is to examine the fundamental idea of Bhasma Kalpana through the standardization and preparation of Tamra Bhasma using traditional techniques.
