Dr. Kunika Mehta, BAMS, MD, is an Ayurvedic physician, postgraduate researcher and academic with a keen interest in Rasashastra and Bhaishajya Kalpana and the scientific development of Ayurvedic formulations. Her research interests encompass herbo-mineral pharmaceutics, pharmaceutical processing, formulation development, analytical characterization, safety evaluation and experimental pharmacology. Her research work focuses on the development of a herbo-mineral formulation and its systematic scientific evaluation for safety and analgesic activity. The study integrates classical Ayurvedic pharmaceutical processes with contemporary analytical and experimental approaches, encompassing pharmaceutical development, physicochemical and advanced analytical characterization, acute oral safety assessment, and in-vivo evaluation of analgesic activity. Through her academic work, Dr. Kunika Mehta aims to contribute to the evidence-oriented development of Ayurvedic pharmaceutics by bringing classical pharmaceutical principles into dialogue with modern scientific methodologies. Her work reflects an approach that values systematic formulation development, scientific characterization, safety assessment and preclinical evaluation of traditional herbo-mineral preparations.
