Abstract
Herbomineral formulations are unique to Ayurveda. Lauha bhasma is an Ayurvedic metallic preparation used in iron deficiency anemia. Our emphasis in the present paper is on chemical characterization of Lauha bhasma at different steps by following X-ray Diffraction (XRD) study and Vibrating Sample Magnetometry (VSM) study. XRD study was conducted for the samples after Sthalipaka , 1 st Puta , 5 th Puta , 10 th Puta , 15 th Puta and 20 th Puta and VSM study was conducted for samples after 5 th 10 th and 20 th Puta . Fe 3 O 4 and γ-Fe 2 O 3 may be accepted as chemical characterization of Lauha bhasma in broader way as it has been explored in this project by applying more sophisticated analytical technique like XRD and VSM.

Summary
Herbomineral formulations are unique in terms of their minimal dose, quick action, palatibility and wider therapeutic applicability. Quality control for herbal preparations and bhasmas is essential as many of them contain chemical entity as Cu, Zn, Fe, As, Hg and Pb. Current issue of quality control method of identification of compounds made up of various metals/ mineral requires chemical characterizations by XRD. Lauha bhasma an Ayurvedic preparation is one of the best medicines for iron deficiency anemia. Putapaka was conducted at a temperature of 5500C6000C in electric muffle furnace It took twenty puta (shown, 02, and 03) for complete conversion of material into prepared bhasma form (therapeutic form of material). Our emphasis in the present paper is on chemical characterization of Lauha bhasma at different steps by following Xray Diffraction (XRD) study and Vibrating Sample Magnetometry (VSM) study. XRD study was conducted for the samples after Sthalipaka, 1st Puta, 5th Puta, 10th Puta, 15th Puta and 20th Puta and VSM study was conducted for samples after 5th, 10th and 20th Puta
