Bhasma, which are ayurvedic nano preparations, originate from herbal, mineral, and metallic sources. Utilising nanotechnology concepts, there is significant potential in creating new drugs from bhasma. It is crucial to standardise these bhasma to uphold their quality. The method of preparation greatly influences the effectiveness and structure of bhasma. While generally safe for human use, recent analytical studies have revealed the presence of toxic metals or elements in bhasma, which can have severe adverse effects on human health. Further research is necessary to explore the potential of bhasma as nanomedicine.
