Pharmaceutical Preparation Of Abhrak Bhasma

Abstract

Abstract Background- Preparation of Bhasmas (Ayurvedic traditional medicine) from metals and minerals are tedious process which removes toxic properties of metals and minerals and improve medicinal properties. We prepared Abhraka bhasma by traditional method and analysis of raw Abhraka, pure Abhraka & Abhrakabhasma done by Ayurvedic & modern parameters. Objectives- The present study deals with the preparation and analysis of Abhraka bhasma by traditional method. Hence attempts have been made to see the physico-chemical differences between Ashuddha (Impure) Abhraka, Shuddha (Pure) Abhraka & Abhrakabhasma by using different analytical techniques. Material and Methods- Abhrakabhasma preparation includes shodhana (purification), dhanyabhraka nirmana, marana (incineration). The prepared bhasma were analyzed by classical ayurvedic tests (Rekhapurnatva, Varitar, Nishchandratva, etc.) and modern analytical techniques (loss on drying, ash value, assay for Fe, etc). Results- After Shodhana the layers of Abhraka were separated easily. Near about 80-85% of Nishchandratva was achieved after third Puta during Mardana procedure. After 40th Puta, Abhraka was Sookshma, Shlakshna, and Ishtikabha and fulfilled all the Bhasma Pariksha. Conclusion- Dhanyabhrakikarana of Abhraka produces uniform and fine powder of Abhraka, concludes that even in underdeveloped phase of human life technique used by ancient Acharya was scientific and of great significance. For the Abhraka Marana, Gajaputa is mentioned in texts but the quantity of Bhasma didn’t mentioned. Hence proportion of Agni should be taken as per weight of Chakrika (pellets). Keywords- Ashuddha Abhraka, Shodhana, Dhanyabhraka, Marana, Ayurvedic bhasma pariksha.
