Therapeutically, Bhasmas, Bhasmikarana, Calcination, Puta system.
Ayurvedic medicine is a holistic system of healing practiced in India for thousands of years. It relies on using natural substances such as herbs and minerals to promote health and well-being. Metallic remedies known as ayurvedic Bhasmas are used in Indian traditional medicine to cure a wide range of illnesses. The heavy, toxic, and unabsorbable substances are metals and minerals. The metals are most absorbable and therapeutically beneficial when transformed into fine compounds. It is in the form of a powder made from a substance obtained by calcination (Bhasmikarana). Bhasma does not metabolize; hence they do not cause any hazardous metabolite instead, it breaks heavy metals in the body. They are 25 to 50 nm in size. The materials large surface area and small particle size, which enable them to be effectively carried into the cell nucleus and to specific target sites as necessary, may be the cause of Bhasmas therapeutic effects. According to the Puta technique of Ayurveda, metals or minerals should be heated to high temperatures to cause melting before being quenched for a certain amount of time in a suitable medium, such as herbal juices or decoction. These procedures are repeatedly repeated to produce the Bhasma (incinerated metals). Through this process, the metals negative effects are neutralized and transformed into nanoparticles that are physiologically active. Bhasma is currently thought of as Ayurvedic nanomedicine and offers a chance for medication discovery using the contemporary idea of nanomedicine.
