title: Elucidating the nanomaterialistic basis for ayurvedic bhasmas using physicochemical experimentation.
abstract: The validity of herbometallic bhasmas described in Ayurveda is nowhere acknowledged by biomedical science. To unravel the knowledge of bhasmas, an algorithm integrating ayurveda- and science-based experiments needs to connect the basic science of rasa shastra, the study of herbometallic medicines in ayurveda, to clinical data.
