Abstract
Introduction: Kukkutand twak bhasma is the ayurvedic medicine advised to treat calcium
deficiency and leucorrhea like disease conditions. In preparation of KTB variations are found in
usage of herbal drugs and pattern of temperature for incineration.
Objectives: Thus the attempt was made to formulate KTB samples with different herbal
combinations and temperature ranges on Kukkutand twak [KT]. Physico- chemical analysis and
safety data of KTB is generated.
Material and methodology: Purified KT was processed in Kumari Swaras and incinerated in
Gajaputa to prepare four samples of KTB. While KT was triturated with Kumari Swaras, Nimbu
Swaras and Gulab Jala, processed in Laghu Puta to prepare three samples of KTB. Analysis of
KTB samples was done in laboratory. One sample of KTB was tested for toxicity through acute
and subacute studies.
Results and conclusion: KTB prepared in seven and three Gajaputa revealed white colour but
little bit burning sensation. KTB-M-7GP showed high percentage of calcium than other KTB-GP
samples. KT incinerated in three cycles of Laghuputa showed grayish colour with no burning
sensation and estimated quantitative concentration of calcium. In acute toxicity study, animals
didn’t show any mortality and morbidity. In subacute study, sample of KTB didn’t show any
abnormal change in ileum and bone; insignificant inflammatory lesions are observed in liver and
kidney. Present study has demonstrated different preparation methods and analytical data for
KTB samples processed in Gajaputa and Laghu puta. Acute and subacute toxicity study records
have been illustrated for KTB sample processed with Kumari Swaras in Gajaputa.
