CHEMICAL STANDARDISATION STUDIES ON VARATIKA BHASMA
Pemiah Brindha · 2010
In the present work Varatika Bhasma prepared from Varatika, which comes under Sadharana Rasavarga and also under Sudhavarga as per Rasa literature, is taken up and studied from Standardisation point of view. Varatika is the external shell of sea animal Cyprea moneta linn. Chemically Varatika is identified as Carbonate of Calcium. Varatika Bhasma was prepared as per standard classical methods. Chemically analysed at various stages of purification and the final product. Analyses were carried out employing sophisticated instrumentati on techniques such as XRD, Particle Size, FTIR and SEM. Physico ‐ chemical standards were determined for both the samples. The data of the results of the prepared sample are discussed in this paper.
