“…Conch is known to have many properties like alkaline (kshariya), adsorbent (grahi) and cooling (sheetal). The Bhasma preparations have importance in maintaining optimum alkalinity for maintaining better health, and neutralizing harmful acids that leads to illness 3 Since Bhasma is stable and does not metabolize, the chances of producing harmful metabolite 9 is less. It further breaks down the heavy metals present in the body.…”

“…It further breaks down the heavy metals present in the body. The prepared Bhasma are Micro to Nano-sized and are stable for a long period 9 . Because of their minute size, the absorption of drugs in to the circulation is fast, and thereby the dose required for producing the desired effect is small.So, Shankha Bhasma can be considered to be a better cure for stomach issues 4 .…”

Objectives: To prepare Shankha Bhasma, an antiulcer formulation from marine origin and to standardize the formulation by two different methods of preparation and to compare with marketed formulation by modern scientific tools Methods: Shankha Bhasma was prepared from conch shell by open and closed methods using adjuvants Kumari Swarasa and water and subjected to characterization by conventional method and AAS, XRD, EDAX, SEM, TEM, BET, TGA, IR spectroscopy. The effectiveness was checked by animal studies, toxicity by histopathology and cytotoxicity studies. Results: Open method takes few steps and less time and shows crystalline nature (XRD).TGA shows the decomposition temp of calcium oxide. The closed method produces smoother particle (SEM,TEM and BET) with no peaks for specific organic components (IR), elements within the prescribed limits (AAS) of Ayurveda. The adjuvant’s effectiveness was shown by in-process standardization and showed promising pharmacological effects without any toxic effects the dose selected was 25mg to 50mg Conclusions: The size, smoother surface and therapeutic effectiveness of the herbominerals prepared by the two methods can be attributed to the calcination steps and adjuvants. Thus, maybe dose reduction and rapid effect can be achieved.

“…WHO says Standardisation is a measurement for ensuring the quality and is used to describe all measures, which are taken during the manufacturing process and quality control leading to a reproducible quality. Standardisation is not an easy task as numerous factors influence the bio efficacy and reproducible therapeutic effect [8] . Now days Kushta is manufactured in large scales in pharmaceutical industries followed with all advanced technology.…”

Dosage form, Kushta has long been used and is claimed to be very effective because it is effective in a very small dose and with quick action because of its fast absorbing capability, but serious attempts have not been made to study and standardise it on scientific parameters. In current scenario, it is the need of the hour to standardise this formulation at scientific level. Use of advanced technology in kushta formation needs to be compared with classical method. Approaches for standardisation of kushta mentioned in classical literature should be done. For a standard Kushta, scientific studies should be carried out from the level of organoleptic evaluation, physico-chemical standardization, elemental analysis, microbial evaluation, pharmacokinetics, heavy metal toxicity studies and analytical techniques available for preparation and analysis of Kushta. Recently some studies regarding establishment of quality control of kushtas which have been done by research scholars are discussed in this paper.

“…These types of ayurvedic formulations are prescribed for the treatment of a variety of diseases. Usually, the adjuvants like honey, butter, lime juice, milk ghee used may help the metal early assimilable and may reduce the harmful effect, and thereby biocompatibility is increased (Rasheed, 2016;Rasheed and Shivshankar, 2015). Kaseesa bhama is a famous herbs mineral formulation used in Ayurveda for its anaemic anti action.…”

The traditional System of medicine comprises a wide variety of formulations for various ailments. It is essential to Standardize Ayurvedic drugs so that drugs having good quality can be used for better effect. Standardization is not only limited to the final preparation, but it also includes the materials used during the development and SOP adopted and the equipment used. The present study is an attempt to prepare anti anaemic herbomineral nanoceutical by two different processes, and to standardize and evaluate the haemopoietic effect of the prepared formulations and compare with a marketed formulation. Preparation was done based on Ayurveda Pharmacopoeia. Formulations were characterized by conventional methods and by AAS, XRD, EDAX, SEM, TGA, and IR. The toxicity and anti-anaemic effectiveness are evaluated by using albino Wister rats and histopathology and cytotoxicity studies. Products have a crystalline nature (XRD). TGA shows the decomposition temp of ferric oxide. SEM EDAX revealed surface smoothness and nano to the micro size of particles. AAS shows that the elements are within the prescribed limits. The in-process Standardization shows the effectiveness of adjuvants. There is an increase of haemoglobin and body weight on day 75 for first preparation than the Second and were comparable to that of standard. No toxicity in all rats and indicated no renal and gastrointestinal toxicity. The size, smoother surface, and the therapeutic effectiveness of the herbominerals prepared by the two methods can be attributed to the calcination steps and adjuvants. Thus, maybe dose reduction and rapid effect can be achieved.
