Bhasma
Bhasma is a fine ash or powder made from the incineration of specific substances, often used in traditional Indian medicine, particularly in Ayurveda. It is believed to have therapeutic properties and is prepared through a meticulous process that involves heating materials like metals, herbs, or minerals to transform them into a bioavailable form.
In Ayurveda, Bhasma is used to enhance the body's healing processes and is thought to balance the three doshas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Each type of Bhasma is prepared for specific health benefits, and its use is guided by trained practitioners to ensure safety and efficacy.
