Abstract

Nanotechnology—a constantly evolving branch of science and technology—reveals great potential for the early diagnosis, care and mitigation of numerous illnesses. In the field of Ayurvedic medicine, a variety of herbal, herbo-mineral and herbo-metallic compositions are used in formulations namely Bhasma, Kupipakwa Rasayana, Kharaliya Rasayana since a long era. To minimize the particle size of the substance (nanoparticles), procedures such as Shodhana, Nirvapa, Mardana, Bhavana, Marana, and others are carried out. These techniques not only eliminate the untoward effects of the metals but also transform them into biologically and physiologically active nanoparticles. So, the present study was aimed to review the comparison of various ancient technique used for manufacturing of Rasaushadhi for nanoparticle synthesis through the application of nanotechnology. Nanoparticles are the technological breakthrough of the century—a marvel with its tremendous surface area and ability to reach specific sites owing to their micro size have opened up novel applications in biological, optical, and electronic sectors among others. Since nanoparticles are small enough to contain electrons and create quantum effects, they frequently have unexpected optical features. On the other hand, the ancient discipline of Ayurveda has long recognised the use of nanometal particles. First reference regarding converting metals into nanoparticle is mentioned by Acharya Charaka (4th A.D.). Many studies done on Bhasma revealed that most of the Bhasma particle size comes under the range of nanoparticle (< then 100 nm). So, we can conclude that ancient knowledge of Ayurvedic manufacturing method covers the current scientific validation of nanotechnology principle and can prove an efficient therapeutic cure.

Keywords: Rasaushadhi, Nanoparticle, Nanotechnology, Bhasma.
