论文摘要
在阿育吠陀中，劳哈（铁）bhasma主要用于治愈与人类铁缺乏有关的疾病。它是由纯化的原始金属铁与阿育吠陀文献中描述的多步传统制备过程的组合产生的。在这里，我们介绍了使用各种基于X射线的技术对药用级Lauha Bhasma进行的结构研究结果。我们的结果表明，在阿育吠陀制备程序之后的特定条件下进行了几轮加热和冷却后，金属铁最终转化为属于磁铁矿基团的天然铁氧化矿物。扫描电子显微镜（SEM）和X射线驻波辅助荧光测量在粉末状的bhasma标本上进行的表明，bhasma标本中的磁铁矿微粒通常以纳米粒子的凝聚力形式存在。我们预计，阿育吠陀Lauha Bhasma通过通过坏死，通过在人体，脑，脊髓和肺等人体敏感部分（例如人体敏感部位）通过坏死，通过应用交替的外部磁场或通过X射线来通过坏死，具有巨大的潜力。
In Ayurveda, Lauha (Iron) bhasma is primarily used to cure diseases related with iron deficiency in humans. It is produced from purified raw metallic iron using a combination of multi-step traditional preparation processes described in the Ayurveda literature. Here, we present results of structural investigation performed on the medicinal grade Lauha bhasma using various X-ray based techniques. Our results indicate that after several rounds of heating and cooling in specific conditions following the Ayurvedic preparation procedure, metallic iron eventually converts to a natural iron-oxide mineral belonging to the Magnetite group. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray standing wave assisted fluorescence measurements carried out on powdered bhasma specimen reveal that the Magnetite micro-particles in the bhasma specimen are usually present in the form of agglomerates of nano-particles. We anticipate that the Ayurvedic Lauha Bhasma has great potential for noninvasive localized target killing of cancer cells, particularly in sensitive parts of the human body such as brain, spinal cord, and lungs, via necrosis by application of an alternating external magnetic field or photo electron generation through X-rays.
