SWARN BHASM IS A TRADITIONAL AYURVEDIC MEDICINE, SYNTHESIS, CHARACTERIZATION AND USES OF SWARN BHASM AS A NANOPARTICLES

Nanotechnology is an emerging technology which involve advance study of particles having size between 1 to 100 nm. In Indian continents an advanced medical science exists from a very long-time 7th century AD. During ayurvedic treatment mostly bhasm was used, these were prepared reducing by particle size by calcination process. In calcination process pure metal that are zero valent changed into multi- valent. in this study gold bhasm was prepared and particle size was studied by using XRD, FTIR, UV-VIS and SEM spectra and confirmed by laser particle size distribution, and it has found it was 10 nm. elemental analysis of bhasm (ash) was done by atomic absorption spectrophotometer for the determination of gold purity. During study the size of gold particles was 45 nm and purity of gold was 99 %.
