Dhootapapeshwar Shouktik (muktashukti) bhasma is a herbo-metal calcium-containing ayurvedic preparation derived from pearl oyster shells that works wonders for the treatment of ulcers, heartburn, gastritis, and other digestive ailments.

Shouktik bhasma is predominantly composed of calcium carbonate, with minor amounts of magnesium, phosphorus, silicon,  manganese, sodium, potassium, and other minerals making it a natural supply of calcium and an excellent treatment for calcium shortage in the body. 

 Shouktik (muktashukti) bhasma works as an antacid for the stomach and has antipyretic and antihypertensive properties. It is of madhura rasa (sweet) and madhura vipaka, and a cooling effect ( sheet virya) and thus has a body-building, moistening, and nourishing function and it reduces pitta and edema in the body.

Shouktik (muktashukti) is prepared as per ancient text of Rasa tarangini. Firstly muktashukti is purified in jayanti swaras ( Sesbania sesban) with the help of dola yantra for three hours and then the purified muktashukti is taken for the process of making bhasma according to the procedure written in rasa tarangini.

 In a sharava samput ( an earthen vessel), shuddha Muktashukti is inserted between the Aloe Vera Pulp. Sandhibhandan is done on sharav samput  and  the heat is then given in the gajaputta accordingly. Then bhasma is taken out after its self-cooling and lemon juice is used to reprocess and triturate (mardan) the muktashukti bhasma and small cakes ( chakrika ) are made.

 Again, heat is applied accordingly in the gajaputta. After all testing, muktashukti bhasma is ready to be used. This bhasma has a wide range of applications in the whole body, especially in the digestive system.
