Pharmaceutical processing standardizes Abhrak Bhasma preparation with analytical evaluation, indicating efficacy in chronic disorders.

This research aims to standardize the preparation of Abhrak Bhasma using traditional Ayurvedic methods and modern analytical evaluation.
Conducted purification (Shodhana) and preparation (Dhanyabhraka) of raw Krishna Abhrak.
Performed repeated incineration (Marana) with Aloe vera Swarasa as a processing agent.
Evaluated organoleptic properties, physicochemical parameters, and classical Bhasma Pariksha along with modern analytical techniques like XRD, SEM-EDX, FTIR, and AAS.
Purification enhanced brittleness and removed impurities.
Incineration produced a fine reddish-brown powder with characteristic properties.
Instrumental analysis showed reduced particle size and stable elemental composition, confirming structural transformation.

Arora et al. (2026) studied this question.
