HISTORYAyurveda is considered by many scholars to be the oldest healing science. In Sanskrit, Ayurveda means The Science of Life. Ayurvedic knowledge originated in India more than 5,000 years ago and is often called the Mother of All Healing. It stems from the ancient Vedic culture and was taught for many thousands of years in an oral tradition from accomplished masters to their disciples. Some of this knowledge was set to print a few thousand years ago, but much of it is inaccessible. The principles of many of the natural healing systems now familiar in the West have their roots in Ayurveda, including Homeopathy and Polarity Therapy.
Ayurveda as a Complementary System of HealingThe basic difference between Ayurveda and Western allopathic medicine is important to understand. Western allopathic medicine currently tends to focus on symptomatology and disease, and primarily uses drugs and surgery to rid the body of pathogens or diseased tissue. Many lives have been saved by this approach. In fact, surgery is encompassed by Ayurveda. However, drugs, because of their toxicity, often weaken the body. Ayurveda does not focus on disease. Rather, Ayurveda maintains that all life must be supported by energy in balance. When there is minimal stress and the flow of energy within a person is balanced, the bodys natural defense systems will be strong and can more easily defend against disease.

Bhasma in Ayurveda has been defined as a substance obtained bycalcinations
BHASMA
Use of both bhasma (Residue after incineration calcined preparation) as well as in pishti (powdered gem or metal) form along with appropriate herbs for treatment of critical ailments is a medicinal preparation in Ayurveda and to some extent Unani (both Indian branches of medical science) using natural curative methods. The procedures for preparing these medicines are time-consuming and complicated. Bhasma is a calcined preparation in which the Gem or Metal is converted into Ash. Gems or metals are purified to remove impurities and treated by Triturating and macerating in herbal extracts. The dough so obtained is calcinated to obtain the ashes.Contents Of Bhasma

Vibhuti
In certain circumstances Bhasma and 'Vibhuti (Sanskrit) are synonymous.
Bhasmikaran
Bhasmikaran is a process by which a substance which is otherwise bioincompatible is made biocompitble by certain samskarsh or processes (Puranik and Dhamankar , 1964e). The objectives of samskara are:- a ) elimination of harmful matters from the drug b ) modification of undesirable physical properties of the drug c ) conversion of some of the characteristics of the drug d ) enhancement of the therapeutic action(Puranik and Dhamankar, 1964e). Various steps involved in the preparation of BHASMA(or bhasmikaran) are:- 1 ) Shodhan -Purification, 2 ) Maran - Powdering, 3 ) Chalan- Stirring, 4 ) Dhavan - Washing, 5 ) Galan- Filtering, 6 ) Putan- Heating, 7 ) Mardan- Triturating, 8 ) Bhavan- Coating with herbal extract, 9 ) Amrutikaran - Detoxification and 10 ) Sandharan- Preservation (Puranik and Dhamankar, 1964e). Selection of these steps depends on the specific metal. Sometimes there is an overlapping of the steps e.g. maran is achieved by puttan. Since the present thesis work is on bhasma, Bhasmikaran process is elaborated in details in the following paragraphs.
Steps of bhasmikaran1 . Shodhan: The principle objective of shodhan is to remove unwanted part from the raw material and separate out impurities( Vaiday and Dole 1996b). Metals obtained from ores may contain several impurities, which are removed by subjecting them to Shodhan process. In context of bhasma, shodhan means purifying and making the product suitable for the next step i.e. Maran. Ayurveda classifies shodhan into a) General process and b) Specific process. a.General process for shodhan: The sheets of metals are heated till red hot and are successively dipped into liquids like oil, buttermilk, cows urine etc. The procedure is repeated seven times. b. Specific process for shodhan: For some metals a specific process is described for shodhan e.g. for purification of Jasad, the molten mass is poured in cows milk 21 times (Shastri K,1979b).
2 . Maran : Maran literally means killing. As the name suggests
in maran process, a change is brought about in the chemical form or state of the metal. This makes it to lose its metallic characteristics and physical nature. In short, after maran, metal can be converted into powder or other form suitable for administration. To convert various metals into a form appropriate for human consumption, several techniques have been employed which ultimately gave birth to concept: Bhasma prepared by using Rasa i.e. mercury is the best, whereas the one prepared using herbs are of better quality and those prepared using Gandhak (sulfur) are of inferior quality. Thus there are 3 methods given for maran. It is carried out by heating the metal in presence of 1) mercury 2) plants and 3 ) sulfur.
3 . Chalan : Process of stirring during heating the metal is
chalan. Stirring is carried out either with iron rod or stick made from a specific plant. As we know today, iron serves as catalyst in many chemical reactions. The phytoconstituents of plant stick may be enhancing the therapeutic effect. For example, stick of Neem is used for chalan process of Jasad bhasma, which is used topically for ophthalmic diseases. We can interpret the significance of this process now. Neem is an antiseptic (Puranik and Dhamankar, 1964h). Zinc is antiseptic , astringent and has ulcer healing property (Block et al., 1982b). These effects of both the constituents may impart the final product better therapeutic activity.
4 . Dhavan : In this process, several water washes are given to the
product obtained in the previous stage. Perhaps this is to remove the excess amounts of agents used in shodhan or maran stage. Such agents may adversely affect the quality of final product. Hence intermediates are washed with water, thereby water soluble constituents are removed (Puranik and Dhamankar , 1964h).
5 . Galan : The product is then sifted either through a fine cloth orthrough sieves of suitable mesh so as to separate residual material larger in size (Puranik and Dhamankar, 1964h).
6 . Puttan : The term puttan means ignition. The general term used
for heating in the process of Bhasmikaran is Puta. A special earthen pot, Sharav is generally used for the process. It has two parts, each having a shape of soccer. Sharav is used for direct heating of the material. Its shallowness is useful in heating the material faster and uniformly. After keeping the material on the shallow surface, other part is used as a lid, by placing it in an inverted position. This Puttan process can be looked upon as the key step in manufacturing of bhasma. The classification of putta is primarily done on the basic nature of the process and is as under:- (Puranik and Dhamankar, 1964f) 1)Chandraputta 2) Dhanyarashiputta 3) Suryaputta 4)Bhugarbhaputta 5) Agniptuta.
