Bhasma

Calcined heavy-metal preparation in classical ayurvedic and siddha pharmacopoeia. Includes naga bhasma (lead), parad bhasma (mercury), tamra bhasma (copper). Heavy metals are present by design, not as contamination. Forensic relevance is high because chronic users present with metal poisoning that the treating physician often misses.
