Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India Part I, six volumes are compilations of monographs on single drugs commonly used in the practice of Ayurveda. This seventh volume of Ayurvedic Pharmacopoeia of India, Part-I consist of 21 monograph on Metals and Minerals used in Ayurveda. Though Metals and Minerals are used in other systems of medicine also, their use in Ayurvedic preparations is unique in view of the detailed shodhan (detoxification) process contained in the Ayurvedic classical text.
The validation of all these processes requires the help of other related branches of science such as Geology, Organic and inorganic chemistry, Analytical chemistry, Phytochemistry etc. Apart from this, advances n Nanotechnology are also important to provide a better understanding of the changed state of the Metals and Minrals after their processing by the recommended classical methods.
