Bhasmas are unique Ayurvedic preparations of metals/minerals formulated with herbal extracts or juices and used for the treatment of a variety of ailments. Owing to their micro/ nano fineness, ease of administration and comparatively small dose, they have been known for their vast area of application and therapeutic value. Kaseesa (FeSO4.7H2O) is an iron containing used in the treatment of eye diseases, pruritis, leucoderma, dysurea, helminthiasis. diabetes The present study was conducted to perform physicochemical characterization for the Kaseesa Bhasma as per the procedure mentioned in the literature by using several analytical tools. Kaseesa was taken for preparation of Bhasma with the help of Shodhana and Marana procedures as per traditional references. The Kasisa Bhasma were distinguished for their physicochemical characters using Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDAX), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) analysis. EDAX analysis revealed that iron, sulfur, and oxygen was found to be71.62%, 0.52%, 27.81% respectively in Kaseesa Bhasma, The XRD pattern of Kaseesa Bhasma revealed that all the strong medium and weak peaks correspond only to Fe2O3. And its crystal structure is in rhombohedral in nature, the particle size of Kaseesa Bhasma using Z-average were found to be 798nm respectively.
