CLARIFICATION on Pravala Bhasma & Abraka Bhasma

[Guest guest]

Dear Sir

 

During November2002 to January 2003 I have taken treatment

from one reputed ayurvedhic organisation & under medical

supervision.

 

I have been advised to take Pravala Bhasma (TOTAL 20 gms)

& Abraha Bhasma (total 6 to 7 GMS) For my ailment and got my ailment

rectified.

 

My question is that now my friend tells that these bhasmas are made

our of metal and it will affect the kidney function in future.

Kindly clarify.Reply to my E'mail.

 

Thanks &Regards

venkat.

Dear Venkat,

It is true that there are many ayurvedic medicine which are prepared

from metals. But they undergo various processes which makes them safe

for human consumption. Previously there was no control over

preparation of these drugs and so there were some elements who used

to take shortcuts in the preparation leading to various harmful side-

effects. The benefits of well made bhasmas and the dangers of those

which are not prepared properly are well documented in ayurvedic

texts. Today there are anumber of companies whih employ various

modern process to prepare authentic medicine and also check them for

efficacy and toxicity. Hence there is no harm intaking these

medicines if prescribed by an ayurvedic practioner and prepared by

reputed companies (Baidyanath, Zandu, Sandu, Dhootpapeshwar Etc).

 

Also among the 2 medicines suggesyted for you only one is metallic in

nature i.e. abhraka (mica). Praval is powdered coral and is organic

in nature.

 

If you inform me where you live I can suggest you the names of

companies in your are which provide authentic bhasmas.
