Abstract
Kasisa is an Iron-containing compound mentioned in Ayurveda. Different methods for the preparation of Kasisa Bhasma are described in ancient Ayurveda textbooks. However, the lack of standardisation in the incineration process poses a significant challenge to ensuring the preparation's quality. In the present study, the method mentioned in Rasamrutha was adopted. The classical method of bhasma preparation comes with certain challenges. An Electric Muffle Furnace offers a more controlled and consistent alternative, addressing some of the difficulties associated with the classical approach. Hence, two different heating methods were adopted here to prepare bhasma (the classical method and an Electric Muffle Furnace). The final product obtained from these two methods was characterised by X-ray diffraction to determine the composition. The study findings indicate a notable shift in the product to oxide form, with a higher percentage observed in the classical method of bhasma preparation.
