Lauha Bhasma, an ayurvedic drug, is widely used in iron deficiency anaemia, this ancient drug is claimed to be better absorbed gastrointestinally, and is also claimed to be devoid of the usual side effects associated with administration of the allopathic iron preparations, Physical and chemical methods of standardization required for any quality preparation, is not found in the ayurvedic and the modern literatures for Lauha Bhasma. Thus an approach has been made to standardize Lauha Bhasma. For the purpose of analysis, samples of all the three commonly available variants of Lauha Bhasma were considered. Qualitative analysis indicates the presence of iron both in the ferric and the ferrous forms, A simple spectrophotometric method has been used for simultaneous determination of ferric ferrous and the total iron content in a single aliquot.
印度草药铁剂（Lauha Bhasma）是一种阿育吠陀药物，广泛用于缺铁性贫血。据称这种古老的药物在胃肠道中吸收更好，并且据称没有与使用现代医学铁制剂相关的常见副作用。任何优质制剂所需的物理和化学标准化方法，在阿育吠陀和现代文献中均未找到关于印度草药铁剂的相关内容。因此，已采取一种方法对印度草药铁剂进行标准化。为了进行分析，考虑了印度草药铁剂所有三种常见变体的样品。定性分析表明存在三价铁和二价铁形式的铁，已使用一种简单的分光光度法同时测定单个等分试样中的三价铁、二价铁和总铁含量。
