ABSTRACT
Mayurchandrika bhasma (calx of peacock
feather) it widely used in Ayurveda to treat diseases like vomiting, hiccough,
respiratory disorders. Classical texts such as Siddhayoga Sangraha and
Bhaisaiya Samhita mention distinct procedures for the preparation of
mayurchandrika bhasma. In Siddhayoga Sangraha we find in detail ,the method of
burning the peacock feathers on ghee flame whereas bhaisaiya Samhita suggests
application of four Gajaputas (burning the peacock feathers at about 1000for four times in various media by using a thousand dung
(cakes) to get the mayurchandrika bhasma.
As per the GMP standard the scientific communities always prefer evidence based
research protocols if good rasashastra practice (GRP) is blended with
super-scientific physico-chemical and instrumental gadgets for up to data
analysis, the drug designing/pharmaceutical field can excel to the top. Keeping
these things to mind the present study entitled pharmaceutico-analytical study
and formulation of mayurchandrika Bhasma is taken for its basic standardization
and preparation protocol. X-RD, SEM, IR done.
