Key Points

To critically review the therapeutic applications, pharmacological properties, and indications of Panna Bhasma (emerald calx) based on classical Ayurvedic treatises and modern scientific literature.
Reviewed primary classical Ayurvedic texts, including Rasa Tarangini, Ayurveda Prakasha, and Rasaratna Samuccaya.
Compiled and qualitatively analyzed published modern literature and review articles evaluating gemstone (Ratna) formulations.
Classical Ayurvedic texts document that Panna preparations possess Sheeta (cooling), Pittahara (Pitta-alleviating), Hridya (cardioprotective), Medhya (nootropic), Chakshushya (vision-enhancing), and Rasayana (rejuvenating) attributes.
Documented classical indications include cardiac weakness, anxiety, insomnia, mental fatigue, ocular disorders, liver diseases, and general debility.
Contemporary biomedical reports suggest potential antioxidant and neuroprotective effects for gemstone preparations, though robust clinical trial evidence validating the safety and efficacy of Panna Bhasma is currently lacking.
