Abstract : Interdisciplinary researches have been well appraised in recent times and has to a greater extent helped the CAM community to develop scientific validation for the safety and efficacy of traditional and indigenous formulations. Bhasmas or incinerated organometallic preparations are highly acclaimed with regard to therapeutic efficacy among the Ayurvedic practitioners and has thus, created an arena for various unvalidated and unscientific claims. Bringing order in chaos is a basic purpose that interdisciplinary researches serves to. Addressing the various concerns on the lack of scientific validation on chemical characterization and preclinical studies at cellular level, an attempt is being made to develop a biological safety profile protocol for bhasmas using advanced instrumentation techniques and in vitro methods.
