Abstract

Ayurveda is a medicinal system which used metals and minerals in the form of bhasma, Tablets, Elixirs etc. Cardiol Vati is one of such medicines which is used for the therapeutic treatment on Cardiac disease. Modern techniques such as X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Energy Dispersive X-ray Analysis (EDAX), Infrared spectroscopy (IR), Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA), Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission Spectroscopy (ICP-OES) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) were used to generate Physico-chemical studies of Herbal medicines.[1] These herbal medicines commercially available in market and are used for treating various diseases in Indian traditional clinical practice. In the present study, the method is developed for the analysis of the different elements or inorganic contents of herbal medicines. The present study showed that the metals in this preparation are below the toxicity limit. Powder X Ray Diffraction (PXRD) was used to fingerprint a particular phase or mixture of phases. In fact, it is a very important tool in the pharmaceutical industry for checking the presence of polymorphism and Inorganic elemental analysis which is equally important from the enzyme part of function.
