Vanga Bhasma: Powerful Ayurvedic Remedy For Diabetes, Skin Disorders, And Reproductive Health

Introduction & Preparation

Vanga Bhasma, also known as Tin Ash, is an Ayurvedic medicine prepared by processing pure tin with various herbs and then incinerating it to create a fine ash. Vanga Bhasma, a purified Ayurvedic calx of tin, has been used for centuries to address reproductive, urinary, and metabolic disorders in both men and women. Its therapeutic use dates back to classical Rasashastra texts, where it was considered a potent Rasayana—a rejuvenator of bodily tissues and strength. Unlike modern synthetic drugs, which often isolate single mechanisms, Vanga Bhasma works on multiple bodily systems simultaneously, making it ideal for complex conditions such as diabetes-induced sexual weakness or age-related prostate issues [1].

In traditional practice, this bhasma was primarily prescribed for male infertility, premature ejaculation, and urinary disorders. However, over time, its indications have expanded significantly. Modern studies have confirmed its ability to modulate testosterone levels, support insulin sensitivity, and provide antioxidant protection at the cellular level [2]. Its small particle size after calcination—often in the nanometer range—makes it readily absorbable, enhancing its potency and bioavailability [3].

What distinguishes Vanga Bhasma is its dual nature: it is both cooling (Sheeta Virya), which helps in urinary tract inflammation, and strengthening (Balya), which supports stamina and sexual vigor. This makes it a unique remedy in the Ayurvedic arsenal for conditions that overlap between heat, fatigue, and hormonal dysfunction [4].

Despite its long-standing clinical use in Ayurveda, Vanga Bhasma has only recently begun receiving attention from integrative medicine practitioners in the West. With its growing body of preclinical and clinical evidence, it holds promise not only as a complementary therapy but as a lead candidate in personalized endocrine and reproductive care [5].

Classical References and Nomenclature

In Ayurvedic Rasashastra, Vanga Bhasma holds a respected position as a rejuvenative metal formulation primarily used for disorders of the reproductive and urinary systems. The term “Vanga” refers to tin, and its incinerated form—after purification and proper calcination—is what is used medicinally. In Sanskrit texts, it is also described under names like Nagdhatu and Shuddha Vanga, emphasizing its metallic origin and the importance of detoxification through Shodhana.

Several authoritative texts describe Vanga Bhasma’s preparation, properties, and clinical indications:

• Bhaishajya Ratnavali – Rasayana Prakarana recommends its use for Shukra-Kshaya (semen deficiency), Mutrakrichha (painful urination), and Klaibya (sexual debility) [6].
  
• Rasa Tarangini outlines a multi-stage Marana process using Aloe vera and Chitraka juice, emphasizing the importance of softening the metal through repeated incinerations to improve assimilation [7].
  
• Rasa Chandanshu mentions its use in Prameha (diabetes) and as a Vrishya (aphrodisiac) in male reproductive Rasayanas [8].
  
• Yogaratnakara and Rasa Jala Nidhi echo similar indications, placing it within broader Rasayana therapy to revitalize tissues and organs.
  

The classical literature consistently emphasizes Vanga Bhasma’s Tridosha-balancing nature, particularly its ability to pacify Vata and Pitta, which often underlie reproductive, urological, and metabolic disturbances.

In historical context, Vanga Bhasma was also considered a milder alternative to more potent metals like mercury or gold, particularly for long-term use in chronic fatigue, infertility, and urinary dysfunctions. Its safety, efficacy, and versatility made it a cornerstone in formulations prescribed for Yauvan Pidita (age-related sexual decline) and Dhatukshaya (tissue depletion).

Step 1: First, make fifteen thin sheets from the Watti leaf, dry them, and then cut them into small pieces. After that, take approximately 2.5 kg of cow dung. Next, form it into a round shape, leaving a one-inch border all around, and create a one-inch deep hole in the center.

Step 2: Then, put tamarind husk powder and sesame seeds into the hole and add about 10 tolas of the prepared powder. Afterward, place small pieces of tin all around. Subsequently, sprinkle approximately 10 tolas of tamarind husk powder on top and then arrange the tin pieces on it.

Step 3: Continue this process for 3 to 4 layers. In each layer of cow dung, add approximately 10-12 tolas of tin. All in all, you should mix around 40 to 50 tolas of the powder. Be sure to keep tamarind husk powder at both the top and bottom.

Step 4: Once the powder and tin sheets are in place, cover them with another cow dung layer of the same size, sealing the edges. When it has dried, place it in a flat pan or vessel, and leave it in a vacuum chamber to heat.

Step 5: After it has cooled, carefully take out the tin ash. Grind this ash in an iron mortar and sieve it through a cloth. The raw ash will remain on top of the cloth, which you should discard. The fine ash that passes through will be soft, white, lime-like, and extremely light.

By mixing the proportion of tamarind instead of sesame, the ash turns out to be excellent. Instead of using cow dung, you can wrap the mixture in a mat and ignite it to produce the ash. If you want to prepare the ash by wrapping it in a mat, form a sturdy ball of the mat, place around 5 seers (about 5 kg) of cow dung around it, and ignite it in a vacuum space. The height of the mat ball should not exceed 8-9 inches. In one go, burn 10-12 tolas of tin to create the ash. If more quantity of tin is used, some part may remain raw. Any raw ash left over should be processed again according to the third method.

Note: Raw ash should be ground in an iron mortar. If ground in a stone mortar, it may damage the mortar. This ash should be consumed for days as directed.

Dosage

Dosage: 1 to 2 ratti (approx. 125 to 250 mg), twice a day, with creamy sweet dishes like almond kheer, psyllium husk with sugar, or according to the disease, with appropriate accompaniments.

Usage For Reproductive System &Tuberculosis And Chest Weakness

There are various types of weakness in the reproductive system, but most commonly, it stems from the weakening of the nerves that carry Vata. This weakness is often caused by excessive sexual activity or other forms of misuse of semen. Over time, the constant strain on the nerves and muscles makes them completely powerless. Sometimes, the condition becomes so severe that even the mere thought of a woman, her sight, or any romantic gesture causes immediate seminal discharge. In some cases, even a slight disturbance during sleep, triggered by erotic dreams, can result in involuntary ejaculation. In such disorders, Vang Bhasma proves highly beneficial.

Many individuals experience regular seminal discharge during the night. The adverse effects of this condition can be so severe that some people completely lose their mental balance, while others become semi-insane. Many become impotent, frail, and lifeless, while others are born with congenital diseases and live in misery, devoid of hope for life. Some people experience convulsions, and at the sight of a beautiful woman, mental disturbance occurs to the extent that convulsions happen, and foam forms at the mouth. Only after seminal discharge does this disturbance subside. In all these types of disorders, Vang Bhasma proves to be an excellent remedy. It can also cure nocturnal emissions, even when accompanied by frequent seminal discharge during sleep.

The scriptures describe the properties of Vang Bhasma as:
“Just as a lion defeats a herd of elephants, Vang Bhasma annihilates all types of urinary disorders.”

This description highlights the power of Vang Bhasma in treating all types of urinary disorders. However, it may not fully address all urinary issues, and for more complex cases, a tailored approach may be necessary. It works particularly well on chronic, intense, and hot types of urinary disorders, as well as when urinary incontinence is caused by frequent discharge due to association with people of loose moral character. For those suffering from extreme weakness in their reproductive organs, whether due to frequent sexual intercourse, overindulgence, or any form of misuse, Vang Bhasma is highly effective.

In cases of chronic urinary disorders, where excessive urine discharge occurs frequently due to a weakening of the urinary system, the bladder, or the associated organs, Vang Bhasma can restore strength. When these organs are overworked, frequent urination becomes a necessity. Vang Bhasma proves useful in such conditions. If seminal discharge is the root cause of this issue, Vang Bhasma can be combined with other remedies to reduce the excessive discharge.

If the condition reaches an advanced stage where inflammation or burning occurs around the urinary organs, Vang Bhasma is also useful. This condition often involves a constant irritation. In such cases, Vang Bhasma provides excellent relief. However, if the disease has advanced significantly or has become chronic, surgical intervention may be required.

If complications arise after the onset of diabetes or any urinary disorder, Vang Bhasma can be used effectively. The Bhasma’s ability to destroy disease makes it particularly useful in such complications. In these disorders, all bodily tissues and fluids are diminished, and the process of replenishing the body’s strength is disrupted. Waste accumulates in the body, leading to frequent urination. Vang Bhasma slows the body’s degeneration and reduces excessive urination and thirst. In cases of diabetes where there is a significant reduction in bodily strength, Naag Bhasma may be more effective than Vang Bhasma. However, if excessive seminal discharge is the primary cause, Vang Bhasma or a combination of both can be beneficial. Regularly give extracts of Kutaja for the best results.

However, if excessive seminal discharge is the primary cause, Vang Bhasma or a combination of both can be beneficial. Regularly give extracts of Kutaja for the best results.

If excessive sexual activity or other reasons lead to tuberculosis due to seminal discharge, Vang Bhasma is beneficial even in advanced stages of the disease. Even if tuberculosis is not caused by this reason, and the chest has become extremely weak, with symptoms such as chest constriction, severe discomfort, and the production of white or yellow foul-smelling phlegm, Vang Bhasma has proven to be effective in numerous cases. In such situations, the anti-tuberculosis properties of Vang Bhasma are utilized. It can be given along with Shring Bhasma and Ras Sindoor, either mixed or separately.

Since Vang Bhasma is also effective against parasites, it can be used in treating parasitic fevers, parasitic heart disease, and other parasite-related illnesses. The symptoms of parasitic fever are often similar to those of malaria. At times, it becomes difficult to differentiate between parasitic fever and other intermittent fevers, but the specific symptoms of parasites help in identifying the condition. Common symptoms include abdominal pain, frequent yawning, nausea, and vomiting. This fever can last for up to 40-42 days, and during this period, many intestinal worms, which are thin, flat, and small, like grain sprouts, are observed.

Due to the harmful effects of excessive seminal discharge, many young men fall into a state resembling anemia (pandu roga). They lose all enthusiasm for work, their bodies become weak, pale, dry, and emaciated, and their digestive power diminishes. In this type of anemia, there is no direct reduction in red blood cells, but the condition arises from the depletion of Shukra Dhatu (reproductive tissue). The creation of Shukra Dhatu requires a proper supply of blood and essential nutrients, and the vital force that supports it. However, when overindulgence depletes these resources, the blood becomes weak, and as a result, the skin and other organs lose their natural color, leading to a pale appearance.

Excessive seminal discharge due to overindulgence in sexual activity often leads to a dry and distressing cough (Kaasa). In many cases, persistent coughing causes dizziness. This condition results in extreme weakness. If the person has had a history of syphilis and also suffers from respiratory issues along with the cough, Vang Bhasma mixed with purified Hartal is very beneficial. Even if Vang Bhasma does not directly counteract the poison of syphilis, it still has a positive effect on the reproductive system, which indirectly contributes to the recovery process.

Vang Bhasma is an excellent digestive and stimulant. It works similarly to substances like asafoetida, ajwain, and chitrak, and can be used with substances like lemon and pomegranate juice. These substances boost digestive fire, and Vang Bhasma enhances this function as well. Even though Vang Bhasma strengthens Pitta (digestive fire), it doesn’t directly increase Pitta; instead, it works specifically on the reproductive system. By fortifying the reproductive system, it enhances the strength of all body organs. In this way, Vang Bhasma helps restore proper digestive function and eliminates indigestion.

For chronic indigestion, particularly when associated with diseases like Agnimandya (weak digestion), Vang Bhasma provides excellent results. In severe cases of indigestion, the mere smell of food can be unbearable for the patient. In such conditions, Vang Bhasma proves highly effective, and its use in conditions like vomiting is very beneficial.

In cases of gastric ulcers leading to frequent vomiting, Vang Bhasma can help soothe the condition. It reduces the aggravation caused by ulcers. For this condition, other metallic medicines like Tamra Bhasma (copper ash) are also useful. While Tamra Bhasma works well in conditions caused by an imbalance of Vata and Kapha, it should not be given in disorders involving an excess of Pitta. Vang Bhasma helps repair damaged blood vessels caused by ulcers, and Nag Bhasma (lead ash) can also be used in such cases.

Excessive masturbation or repeated seminal discharge leads to a condition known as Shukrapata (excessive seminal loss), which can be effectively treated with Vang Bhasma. The use of Vang Bhasma helps the body restore the balance of reproductive fluids and reduces the negative effects of overindulgence. While Vang Bhasma is not a direct stimulant, it strengthens reproductive tissues, and this property makes it highly beneficial.

In cases where excessive sexual activity leads to feelings of dissatisfaction or loss of sexual vigor, Vang Bhasma can be very effective. Some people, even though physically male, may lack sufficient sexual drive due to an imbalance in their reproductive fluids. These individuals may feel disinterested in engaging in sexual activity despite their physical capacity. In such cases, Vang Bhasma proves to be an excellent remedy.

Vang Bhasma strengthens both the reproductive organs and the Shukra Dhatu (reproductive tissue). Therefore, its consumption makes the reproductive organs strong, and the Shukra Dhatu becomes well-balanced and healthy. As a result, all the bodily tissues become nourished, and the entire body gains strength. The main function of Shukra Dhatu is to enhance vigor, strength, and intellect. When these functions are fulfilled, the entire body and all the senses become powerful. With nourished tissues and strong senses, the complexion of the body becomes radiant. The body gains vitality and energy, while the intellect becomes sharp, and memory improves.

The primary action of Vang Bhasma is on the reproductive system, ensuring the creation of healthy and robust reproductive fluids. In cases where pus of a thick yellow color is discharged from wounds, administering Vang Bhasma along with other healing treatments has proven to provide swift and significant benefits.

There are two main purposes of Shukra Dhatu: reproduction and enhancing intellect. For reproduction, the Shukra Dhatu that remains stored benefits both intellect and memory. Therefore, Vang Bhasma has been aptly described as a substance that enhances both intellect and progeny.

Vang Bhasma is also very effective in treating disorders related to the female reproductive system. For example, if the fallopian tubes are blocked due to weakness and this results in the absence of menstruation, Vang Bhasma combined with Loh Bhasma (iron ash) should be administered along with some milk. Alternatively, Vang Bhasma can be given in combination with Kanyaloha Vati (an Ayurvedic tablet) to treat such conditions.

Vang Bhasma is used to treat infertility. Infertility can arise from many causes. For example, if the ovaries in women are not producing healthy eggs, or if the reproductive organs are too weak to support the production of eggs, or if psychological disturbances are preventing fertility. Other causes include severe weakness due to chronic white discharge or extreme debility due to gonorrhea or syphilis, which may weaken the internal reproductive organs. In all these cases, Vang Bhasma proves very beneficial. It strengthens the uterus and reproductive system, purifies the menstrual flow, strengthens the reproductive fluids, alleviates weakness, strengthens the mind, and enables conception.

In some women, due to reproductive issues, the uterus becomes severely painful during menstruation. This pain may be due to the weakness of the reproductive organs, irregular menstruation, or the inability of menstrual blood to flow out completely, causing it to accumulate internally. In such cases, Vang Bhasma proves very effective in alleviating the pain. This is especially beneficial for women who are irritable, weak-willed, sensitive, or delicate by nature.

Vang Bhasma is also effective for treating skin disorders. In particular, Vang Bhasma combined with purified Hartal (arsenic sulfide) is highly effective in treating skin diseases caused by syphilis. For chronic skin diseases, such as eczema, where the skin becomes dark, dry, and itchy, or small boils and ulcers form, Vang Bhasma has been found to provide rapid relief when used with appropriate external treatments. The more chronic the condition, the more noticeable the effects of Vang Bhasma.

Dosage: 2-3 ratti (approximately 240-360 mg), depending on the severity of the condition, with appropriate adjuncts like cream and sugar or other prescribed substances.

Vang Bhasma works on balancing Kapha and Pitta doshas, and is effective on various organs such as blood, muscles, tissues, reproductive organs, heart, lungs, mind, and brain. It has a particularly strong effect on the reproductive organs. If young girls engage in sexual intercourse before their body has fully matured, this can lead to internal weakness and chronic white discharge. In such cases, a mixture of Vang Bhasma, Alum, Majuphal, and Babool’s raw pods can be made into a powder and used as a vaginal insert. Simultaneously, taking Vang Bhasma orally, along with Majuphal and Babool powder, can provide significant relief.

If white discharge is caused by an imbalance of Vata and Pitta, where the discharge is thin, hot, and foamy, and causes pain in various parts of the body, Vang Bhasma combined with Suvarna Bhasma, Godanti Bhasma, Asgandh, Ghritkumari, and Gokhru powder taken with milk twice a day can effectively treat the condition within a few days.

Cure For Anemia, Syphilis, Chronic Indigestion

Vang Bhasma is also effective for treating skin disorders. In particular, Vang Bhasma combined with purified Hartal (arsenic sulfide) is highly effective in treating skin diseases caused by syphilis. For chronic skin diseases, such as eczema, where the skin becomes dark, dry, and itchy, or small boils and ulcers form,

Vang Bhasma has been found to provide rapid relief when used with appropriate external treatments. The more chronic the condition, the more noticeable the effects of vang Bhasma.

Dosage:2-3 ratti (approximately 240-360 mg), depending on the severity of the condition, with appropriate adjuncts like cream and sugar or other prescribed substances.

Vang Bhasma is an excellent digestive and stimulant. It works similarly to substances like asafoetida, ajwain, and chitrak, and can be used with substances like lemon and pomegranate juice. These substances boost digestive fire, and enhances this function as well. Even though Vang Bhasmastrengthens Pitta (digestive fire), it doesn’t directly increase Pitta; instead, it works specifically on the reproductive system. By fortifying the reproductive system, it enhances the strength of all body organs. In this way, Vang Bhasma helps restore proper digestive function and eliminates indigestion.

For chronic indigestion, particularly when associated with diseases like Agnimandya (weak digestion), Vang Bhasma provides excellent results. In severe cases of indigestion, the mere smell of food can be unbearable for the patient. In such conditions, Vang Bhasma proves highly effective, and its use in conditions like vomiting is very beneficial.In cases of gastric ulcers leading to frequent vomiting, Vang Bhasma can help soothe the condition. It reduces the aggravation caused by ulcers. For this condition, other metallic medicines like Tamra Bhasma (copper ash) are also useful. While Tamra Bhasma works well in conditions caused by an imbalance of Vata and Kapha, it should not be given in disorders involving an excess of Pitta. Vang Bhasma helps repair damaged blood vessels caused by ulcers, and Nag Bhasma (lead ash) can also be used in such cases.  

Cure For Ear Infections, Convulsions, Parasites

In cases of chronic ear infections, where pus discharges from the ears, leading to boils, Vang Bhasma provides excellent results when used alongside external treatments. If not treated, this condition can lead to severe infections in other parts of the ear. Vang Bhasma (1 ratti) combined with Tamra Bhasma (1 ratti) should be given three times a day with honey. External application of Neem leaves or Babool leaves on the swollen areas can reduce the swelling in a few days.

For convulsions caused by weakness or nervous disorders, Vang Bhasma (1-2 ratti) combined with Nutmeg  and  Cinnamon powder, administered every 2-3 hours, produces excellent results.

Second Method: Heat  Kalai (tin) in a pan, and once melted, gradually add powdered Kesuda flowers, while stirring with an iron ladle. Once the powder is fully mixed, the tin turns into a bhasma (ash). Continue heating for six hours until the ash becomes white, then let it cool down. After sieving the ash to remove any unprocessed particles, Vang Bhasma is ready for use.

Since Vang Bhasma  is also effective against parasites, it can be used in treating parasitic fevers, parasitic heart disease, and other parasite-related illnesses. The symptoms of parasitic fever are often similar to those of malaria. At times, it becomes difficult to differentiate between parasitic fever and other intermittent fevers, but the specific symptoms of parasites help in identifying the condition. Common symptoms include abdominal pain, frequent yawning, nausea, and vomiting. This fever can last for up to 40-42 days, and during this period, many intestinal worms, which are thin, flat, and small, like grain sprouts, are observed.

Vang Bhasma is highly effective against these small worms. The bhasma weakens or kills the worms due to the lack of nutrients, but they do not expel naturally. Hence, along with Vang Bhasma, it is recommended to administer  Arkh  Kwath  or  Senna Kwath  to help expel the worms from the body.

To Cure Anemia in Men Due to Excessive Seminal Discharge

Due to the harmful effects of excessive seminal discharge, many young men fall into a state resembling anemia (pandu roga). They lose all enthusiasm for work, their bodies become weak, pale, dry, and emaciated, and their digestive power diminishes. In this type of anemia, there is no direct reduction in red blood cells, but the condition arises from the depletion of Shukra Dhatu (reproductive tissue). 

The creation of Shukra Dhatu requires a proper supply of blood and essential nutrients, and the vital force that supports it. However, when overindulgence depletes these resources, the blood becomes weak, and as a result, the skin and other organs lose their natural color, leading to a pale appearance.

In such situations, Vang Bhasma is more beneficial compared to Nag Bhasma or Jasad Bhasma. In combination with Praval Bhasma and Suvarna Bhasma, Vang Bhasma should be administered. Alternatively, a mixture of Vang Bhasma, Shilajit, and Nag Bhasma should be given. If only mental weakness is present without anemia, a mixture of Vang Bhasma and Abhrak Bhasma with Brahmi Rasayana or Ashwagandha can be administered.

Excessive seminal discharge due to overindulgence in sexual activity often leads to a dry and distressing cough (Kaasa). In many cases, persistent coughing causes dizziness. This condition results in extreme weakness. If the person has had a history of syphilis and also suffers from respiratory issues along with the cough, Vang Bhasma mixed with purified Hartal is very does not directly counteract the poison of syphilis, it still has a positive effect on the reproductive system, which indirectly contributes to the recovery process beneficial. Even if Vang Bhasma does not directly counteract the poison of syphilis, it still has a positive effect on the reproductive system, which indirectly contributes to the recovery process.

For Curing Digestion Problems

Vang Bhasma helps repair damaged blood vessels caused by ulcers, and Nag Bhasma (lead ash) can also be used in such cases.

Enhances Both Intellect And Progeny.

Excessive masturbation or repeated seminal discharge leads to a condition known as Shukrapata (excessive seminal loss), which can be effectively treated with Vang Bhasma. The use of Vang Bhasma helps the body restore the balance of reproductive fluids and reduces the negative effects of overindulgence.

It strengthens the uterus and reproductive system, purifies the menstrual flow, strengthens the reproductive fluids, alleviates weakness, strengthens the mind, and enables conception.

In some women, due to reproductive issues, the uterus becomes severely painful during menstruation. This pain may be due to the weakness of the reproductive organs, irregular menstruation, or the inability of menstrual blood to flow out completely, causing it to accumulate internally. In such cases, Vang Bhasma proves very effective in alleviating the pain. This is especially beneficial for women who are irritable, weak-willed, sensitive, or delicate by nature.

Effective For Treating Skin Disorders

Vang Bhasma is also effective for treating skin disorders. In particular, Vang Bhasma combined with purified Hartal (arsenic sulfide) is highly effective in treating skin diseases caused by syphilis. For chronic skin diseases, such as eczema, where the skin becomes dark, dry, and itchy, or small boils and ulcers form, Vang Bhasma has been found to provide rapid relief when used with appropriate external treatments. The more chronic the condition, the more noticeable the effects of Vang Bhasma.

Dosage: 2-3 ratti (approximately 240-360 mg), depending on the severity of the condition, with appropriate adjuncts like cream and sugar or other prescribed substances.

Vang Bhasma Works on Balancing Kapha & Pitta Doshas

Vang Bhasma works on balancing Kapha and Pitta doshas, and is effective on various organs such as blood, muscles, tissues, reproductive organs, heart, lungs, mind, and brain. It has a particularly strong effect on the reproductive organs. If young girls engage in sexual intercourse before their body has fully matured, this can lead to internal weakness and chronic white discharge. 

In such cases, a mixture of Vang Bhasma, Alum, Majuphal, and Babool’s raw pods can be made into a powder and used as a vaginal insert. Simultaneously, taking Vang Bhasma orally, along with Majuphal and Babool powder, can provide significant relief.

If white discharge is caused by an imbalance of Vata and Pitta, where the discharge is thin, hot, and foamy, and causes pain in various parts of the body, Vang Bhasma combined with Suvarna Bhasma, Godanti Bhasma, Asgandh, Ghritkumari, and Gokhru powder taken with milk twice a day can effectively treat the condition within a few days.
