  • Abstract:
  • Introduction: This research study focuses on the standardization and chemical characterization of Tuttha Bhasma, an essential component of Ayurvedic medicine. Tuttha, a mineral substance, is utilized for its therapeutic properties but requires purification before use to prevent adverse effects. The study aims to standardize two distinct preparation methods (Method A and Method B) for Tuttha Bhasma following traditional procedures and assess their chemical properties for potential therapeutic efficacy. Materials and Methods: Raw materials including Tuttha, Nimbu, Lakucha, Shodhit Gandhaka, and Shodhit Tankana were procured and used in the preparation processes. The study involved Nirmalikarana (cleansing), Tuttha Shodhana (purification), and Tuttha Marana (incineration) through both methods. Organoleptic tests and Bhasma Pariksha tests were conducted alongside modern atomic absorption spectroscopy to analyze Tuttha Bhasma’s physical characteristics and chemical composition. Results: Tuttha Bhasma prepared using both methods and passed classical Ayurvedic tests, indicating successful preparation. Analysis revealed substantial changes in chemical composition during Tuttha Bhasma preparation. Method A exhibited a significant increase in copper content (65.85%) while Method B displayed elevated copper (67.23%), sulfur (8.51%), and iron (1.76%) levels. Method B’s Tuttha Bhasma exhibited higher proportions of macro- and microminerals. Conclusion: The study successfully standardizes Tuttha Bhasma preparation methods and characterizes their chemical properties. Both methods yield Bhasma conforming to classical Ayurvedic tests, indicating their potential efficacy. Method B, involving Gandhaka and Tankana for Marana, results in Tuttha Bhasma with enhanced mineral content, suggesting greater therapeutic potential. These findings contribute to the advancement of Ayurvedic medicine, offering standardized Tuttha Bhasma preparation methods and insights into its chemical composition for future therapeutic exploration.
