 Calx of Iron
English Name:

Unani Name:

Ayuerveda Name:

Calx
Calx of
of Iron
Iron
 Calx of Iron
Requirments:

We need three things to make Calx of Iron:

i. Metha Soda(Chemical Name: Sodium
Iron
Iron Sulfate
Sulfate
Bicarbonate)
ii. Hera Kasees(Chemical Name: Iron
Sulfate)
iii. Water q.s.

Sodium
Sodium
Bicarbonate
Bicarbonate
 Method of Preparation:
Iron sulfate Sodium Bicarbonate Water
Sodium Sulfate Hydroxide gas Carbon-dioxide gas.
Steps:
 First we make the powder of Iron Sulfate in mortar and pestle(uniform
particle size).
 When we make the powder then add water in a container and mix it
properly with iron rod.
 Also add water in Sodium bicarbonate in another container and mix it
with iron rod.

 When both homogenous mixtures were made then take a big container
rather than previous one because when we mix these solutions the gases
are released and there is chances of wastage.
 First add iron sulfate solution in it and then add sodium bicarbonate
solution.
 When we add sodium bicarbonate solution in iron sulfate solution the
reaction is started and gases are released in the form of bubbles.
 The reaction is proceed and now place the container for approximately
45 minutes to eliminate all the gases.
 When the reaction is finished totally and no more gases are formed then
we add 1 Jug of water in it(almost 2 liter) and mix it with a iron rod and
place it over night.
 The process of sedimentation can take place now we remove
the above water carefully and then add again 1 jug of water in
it and place it
 Repeat this process for 3-4 times.
 The remaining solution is called sodium sulfate.
 Now the remaining solution is placed in the iron chulha and give
it heat(low heat) with continues stirring with iron rod .
 When all the remaining water is evaporation then increase the
heat radily.
 First a thick paste is formed then after some time it is hard as
like stone (i-e in greyish colour)
 Heat is continuously providing when we got it is powder form
then we still stirring with rod for 1.5-2 hours.
 When it is in mehronish form then stop the heat and place it for
cold
 Then add this powder form in the mortar
and pestle for grinding and make a uniform
powder.
 Then after 1 hour pass it through the
muslin cloth.
 Then store it in a bottle.

Uses and benefits:
 It is good remedy for anemia.
 It is useful in iron deficiency.
 Increase blood formation and removes the loss of appetite and
paleness of face.
 It is also useful in general debility.
