Dhootapapeshwar Yashada Bhasma is an ayurvedic organometallic preparation made from pure zinc and plants such as Achyranthes aspera (Apamarga) and Aloe vera. Yashada bhasma is beneficial in cases of zinc deficiency, myopia, respiratory diseases, and other conditions. According to Ayurvedic scriptures, yashada bhasma balances the pitta and kapha dosha in the body, preventing ailments such as Asthma and Rhinitis.

 These diseases typically emerge when there is an imbalance in KAPHA DOSHA in the body as a result of a person’s poor lifestyle and poor eating habits. Zinc also boosts metabolism and aids in the battle against many infectious diseases, which can pose problems if an individual has poor immunity; therefore, bhasma can be administered to people with low immunity.

Bhasma also increases the functioning of the body’s chemoreceptors, which are olfactory and sapid molecules, which means it can improve the smell and taste of food. Bhasma also has the ability to shorten the time and speed with which wounds heal. This is also used to cure eye diseases such as myopia and hypermyopia. Anaemic people can benefit from this medication as well.

 Yashada bhasma also possesses anti-inflammatory and antipyretic effects, therefore it can be used in cases of high fever. This can also be used to treat joint problems. The effect of this bhasma on Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) such as gonorrhoea is highly powerful and has very good outcomes when taken properly in conjunction with other ayurvedic remedies.

 Also used to treat stomach issues such as hyperacidity and gas. The yashada bhasma is made by crushing pieces of pure zinc into a fine powder (pure zinc is obtained through SHODHAN prakriya), then melting this fine powder in a good-grade iron vessel and mixing it with Apamarga powder and substantiating it. After some time, the powder is blended with aloe vera juice (MARDAN prakriya), and small oval-shaped discs are made, which are then heated at very high temperatures (900-950°C) in the absence of air.

 Grinding with aloe vera juice and boiling cakes is repeated seven times because pure bhasma is obtained seven times and can be used for therapeutic purposes.
