Journal Title: WORLD JOURNAL PHARMACY AND PHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCE - Year 2019, Vol 8, Issue 4
Abstract
Ayurvedic medicines are serving the needs of ailing humanity since many centuries. Particularly Bhasmas have good preventive, curative and rejuvenating potential. Bhasma are the unique Ayurvedic metallic, non-metallic or mineral preparations with herbal juices widely used for treatment of a variety of diseases. In most of Ayurvedic medicines i.e. Rasuashadhies, Bhasmas are widely used as a single drug or in combination, so standardisation 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 challenge faced by these formulations are the lack of complete standardisation by physico-chemical, microbiological and analytical evaluation. Bhasmas are safe when prepared and used properly. Use of Bhasma when prepared improper and in short cut ways can prove injurious to health. So, there is a need of systemic and well organised coordination of allied sciences along with adequate infrastructure and facilities to solve various problems related to standardisation of Bhasma. Here an attempt is made to review the need of standardisation of Bhasma and also summarize the various methods available for standardisation of Bhasma.
