Introduction

Rasashastra is a specialized branch of Ayurveda that focuses on preparing potent medicines by processing metals, minerals, and herbs through techniques like purification (shodhana), incineration (marana), and transformation (samskara) to enhance their safety, efficacy, and bioavailability. Closely linked to it, the BK Department—commonly referring to Bhaishajya Kalpana (Ayurvedic pharmaceutics)—deals with the formulation and preparation of various Ayurvedic medicines, working alongside Rasashastra to produce herbo-mineral formulations and ensure their proper dosage forms and therapeutic effectiveness.
