Pure Abhrak Bhasma (Mica Ash)

What Is Abhrak Bhasma?

Abhrak Bhasma is an Ayurvedic mineral formulation made by repeatedly calcining purified mica (Abhraka) with various herbal decoctions and juices—sometimes hundreds of iterations (“Shataputi”)—resulting in a fine, bioavailable powder rich in minerals like iron, magnesium, potassium, and trace elements.
