Abstract

ABSTRACT:Kukkutandtwak bhasma (KB) is a chicken eggshell based Ayurvedic medicine which is well known for its use as calcium supplement, treatment on leucorrhea, anemia ,diarrhea and  stomach disorders. In the present communication, the IR and XRD studies of some commercial samples of KB are studied to find out major constituents of this traditional medicine which are responsible for its antacid capacity. Comparative study of four samples under study confirms that the main constituents of KB is a mixture of Calcium carbonate and Calcium hydroxide or only Calcium carbonate. The antacid capacity of the samples are explored using acid base titration method, which are correlated with the main constituents of the bhasma samples.

Key Words:Eggshell, Kukkutandtwak bhasama, XRD, IR, Antacid capacity
