Abstract
Mayur Puccha Bhasma (calx of peacock feather) is an animal product prepared from Mayur Puccha (peacock feather) and Palash moola (Butea monosperma) kwatha (decoction), Dronapushpi (Leucas cephalotes spreng) swarasa (juice), Chakramarda (cassiatora) swarasa (juice).This preparation is mainly used in the management of Chardhi (vomiting), Hikka (hiccough), Swasa (respiratory disorder). In this study, Mayur Puccha Bhasma was prepared with classical procedure, by giving Gajaputa (by burning at 1000o using 1000 cow dung cakes) to peacock feathers and finished product was subjected to physicochemical studies to find out ash value, pH value, specific gravity, moisture content, preliminary organic analysis and atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS) analysis to assess the chemical components and to lay-down the pharmacopeial standards for standardisation of Mayur Puccha Bhasma. The bhasma (calx) contains essential and beneficial inorganic elements like Cu, Fe, Zn, Ca, Mg, Mn, Al and electrolytes like Na, K with neutral pH (7.1) and less moisture content (1%).
