Research

It has been found in studies that swarna bhasma has a restorative effect and has no any toxic effect to the liver and kidney at therapeutic dose. The use of swarna bhasma in dose of 12.5 to 50 mg/kg body on mice weight had a stimulatory effect on peritoneal macrophages, that might be helpful to fight against infection. It was believed that macrophages achieved stimulation due to presentation of the metal to cells in fine emulsified forms.
