Abstract

Background: Akika Pishti is widely used in therapeutics to treat various disease conditions like Hridaroga (Cardiac disease) Manoroga (psychic disorders) and Raktaja Vikara (bleeding disorders). Some references found in classics also emphasized the use of Akika Bhasma. However, no work has been done to date to standardise Rakta Akika Bhasma and Pishti's pharmaceuticals. Aim: The present research work is aimed to establish the pharmaceutical standardization of Rakta Akika Bhasma and Pishti. Methods: Three batches of Rakta Akika Bhasma were prepared by purification of Akika followed by calcination as per the reference of Rasatantrasaar and Siddhprayoga Sangrah. Three batches of Rakta Pishti were prepared followed by levigation (Bhavana) as per the reference of Rastantrasaar and Siddhprayog Sangraha to develop standard parameters. Result: Rakta Akika Bhasma fixed quantity of cow dung cakes i.e. 10 Shera (9.321 kg) and Pishti in terms of pharmaceutical standards i.e. light brown and grayish pink in color, 80.44% and 102.44% yield respectively along with reproducibility of fixed quality. The preparation of Rakta Akika Bhasma and Rakta Akika Pishti in accordance with the procedure described in the classical literature has been ensured and standardised by the current study.
