ABSTRACT
Standardization of herbominral drugs is important aspect for safety and efficacy. In Ayurvedic literature different bhasma pariksha's were mentioned for the assessment of good quality bhasma, but it should be cross verified and assessed with some modern analytical parameters. So for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of such metallic preparation different methods were described in modern chemistry, among which XRF and XRD techniques are most useful and commenly applicable for most of herbomineral preparations. Before going for the analytical tests for any drug, it is very important to know about the basic introduction, application, feasibility and importance of these analytical methods. So this review article is planned to provide the scientific knowledge for the application of suitable analytical methods wsr to XRF & XRD.
