Abstract
Various Ayurvedic calcium compounds, which are among the sudha vargiya dravya, are a rich source of calcium. These calcium compo unds have wide range of therapeutic application. In chemical composition these compounds are same hence the present study was aimed to identify the rich percentage of calcium (as CaO ) in these Bhasma s . Preparation of Ayurvedic calcium compounds i.e. praval bhasma, shankha bhasma, shukti bhasma, varatika bhasma, g odanti bhasma and k ukkutandatvak bhasma was done by subjecting t hese to shodhan and marana and physiochemical analysis of p r epared bhasma s . The prepared bhasma s were subjected to qualitative and qua ntitative analysis. The comparative quantity of calcium was more in case of shukti b hasma and less in godanti b hasma . Acid s oluble matter percentage wa s higher in praval bhasma and lower in godanti bhasma. In all bhasmas the acid neutralizing capacity (pH value) wa s higher but especially in praval bhasma. Kukkutandatvak bhasma provided more ash value as compared to other bhasma.
