All research work is totally based on literary survey, which takes place by collecting appropriate data from past, present& future based knowledge to ensure the subjective importance of research work. Throughout all the procedure in the field of research work, this method reveals about historical background of the study topic, which helps to summarise the complete knowledge related to the subject. In our Ayurvedic literature the Bhasma Kalpana has a special branch of medicine. But in present scenario we are dealing with many complications regarding heavy metal, which is used in Bhasma Kalpana. One of them is Naagbhasma which is noticeable by its lead toxicity effect. The factual data is useful to deal with such issues. Hence to overcome the myth related to Naagbhasma literary review plays important role by correcting the all procedure in the part of preparation. During review, it was found that Naag turned into PbO during Jarana process which is then converted to PbS group after performing Puta procedure. The final product of Naagbhasma is in sulphide form. This review may be useful in pharmaceutical processing & analysing the sample of Naagbhasma for achieving the standard protocol.
