Manisha Dilipsing Pardeshi

Abstract

Rasashastra is a valuable stream of Ayurveda which deals with the study of identification of raw drugs, various procedures and also deals with therapeutic utility of mercury, metals, minerals and other such drugs. Formulations in Rasashastra have become more popular because of its efficacy, potent results in less quantity. Standardization of final product depends on quality of raw material. So it is mandatory to maintain standardization of raw drug to assess parameters for identity, purity, quality, and efficacy of the final product. Tankan is an important drug which is described in Rasashastra having its reference in early classical texts of Ayurveda. An attempt is made to correlate the parameters used for standardization based on Ayurvedic classics with the current physico-chemical parameters in present research work.
