Abstract

Rasaushadhis, or herbo-mineral formulations, represent a unique branch of Ayurvedic therapeutics that combines phytochemicals from medicinal plants with processed minerals or metals. These formulations are known for their enhanced therapeutic efficacy, due in part to phytochemical synergy and improved bioavailability. Recent advances in nanotechnology have facilitated a renewed understanding of how these formulations interact at a molecular level, potentially increasing the efficacy of bioactive components. This paper reviews current research on the role of phytochemical synergy in Rasaushadhis, focusing on how these combinations enhance bioavailability and therapeutic potency, and discusses the implications for future integration into modern medical systems.

Keywords: Rasaushadhis, Herbo-mineral, Bioavailability.
