Abstract :- Ayurvedic Bhasmas play very important role in the treatment of various diseases. However, it should be in the pure form to avoid any adverse effects on human health. The present work describes the synthesis of copper and zinc based Pittal bhasma followed by its characterization using modern analytical techniques such as TEM, SEM, EDX, XRD, DLS and FTIR as well as some ayurvedic tests. Synthesis involves traditional method of shodhana, bhavana and marana . For the latter, traditional putas as well as modern electric muffle furnace were also used for heating purpose. The study reveals that Pittal Bhasma prepared by traditional method of heating has 60 % particles in the range of 300-750nm while that prepared by using electric muffle furnace has 65 % particles in 250-750nm range. In both cases the bimodal particle distribution is observed. The study concludes that bhasma can be useful medicine if it is prepared by standard method of preparation and analysis.
