ABSTRACT

In the current kinetic era, Rasaushadhies have given Ayurveda a complete novel health care look. The innate qualities like quick action, lesser dose, tastelessness, prolonged self life, better palatability of Rasausadhies have helped them to conquer the demand of patients as well as pharmaceutical proprietors. Among the Rasaushadhies, Bhasmas are used mostly and occupy the highest attention. Among all the metals Louha is more extensively used because of its rich availability & economy. Guduchyadi Louha is one of the Kharaliya Kalpa explained in Bhaishajya Ratnavali, which is useful in Vatarakta. This Louha Kalpana is said to be “sarvarogaharam param” that it useful in all disorders. Physico-chemical analysis used to fix up the standards for quality of raw drugs as well as finished products. In this study the physico-chemical analysis of the different samples, right from the raw materials to final product is evaluated. The aim of this study is to know the particular physicochemical changes and effect of different Samaskaras (Shodhana, Marana etc.) during the pharmaceutical processing.
