Vanga Bhasma, Rajata bhasma, Brahmi, Abhraka bhasma and Bhringaraja possess rasayana property.
As the word rasayana defines as the one which brings about apyayana of rasa raktadhi dhatu hence
this property can give a definite scope in the intrauterine life in the growth and nourishment of the
mother and fetus and also in the prevention of disease.

8. CONTD….
• Rajata Bhasma is said as garbhashaya shodhana.
• Common presenting symptoms during pregnancy includes pyrexia and burning
sensation. Thus ingredients like Swarna Bhasma, rajata Bhasma and parpata swarasa
possess jwarahara and dahahara properties.
• In the context of family planning, couples aiming to conceive may find this
formulation beneficial as it contains Vanga bhasma. Particularly if the male partner
has low sperm count, as it is believed to contribute to the successful attainment of a
healthy progeny as vanga Bhasma has shukra vardhaka property and corrects
garbhachyuti (displaced uterus).
