Since long, conventional drugs have been utilized in the Indo-Pak subcontinents. The most realized frameworks utilized customarily are Ayurvedic and Unani therapy. Both of these frameworks utilize spices, minerals and creature tissues in various ailments. Kushta is derieved from Persian word 'KUSHTAN' which signifies 'killed or won'. Kushta is a significant class among the compound detailing which is ready by burning endorsed metals, minerals, and creature parts beat and pulverized with suggested measure of plant remove, further exposing it to the traditional cremation strategy utilizing cow manure cakes. Sadaf (Pinctada margaritifera), a marine beginning normal shell in its Kushta structure, is a solution for various issues, shown in heart shortcoming (zouf-e-qalb), leukorrhea (sailan-urrahem), discharge (nazuf-ud-dam), calcium insufficiency (qilat-e-kils), menorrhagia (kasrate-hat), fever in tuberculosis (huma-e-sil-o-diq), asthma (zeeq-un-nafs), ongoing hack (surfae-muzmin), sexual weakness (zouf-e-bah), hemorrhoids (bawasir), and acid reflux (zouf-ehazam). It contains different minerals like calcium, iron, copper and bromide important for the human body. Kushtas are nano-crystals having the size of 1-100 nm and are known for their therapeutic effect. Sadaf (Oyster shell) is the covering of a marine animal. Kushta-e-Sadaf is rich in calcium, iron, and copper and it is used in the treatment of such innumerable major issues like cardiovascular issue, sexual failure, and renal issue. This review covers the methods of preparation of kushta e sadaf and its benefits in medical and non-medical fields.

Dosage form, Kushta has long been used and is claimed to be very effective because it is effective in a very small dose and with quick action because of its fast absorbing capability, but serious attempts have not been made to study and standardise it on scientific parameters. In current scenario, it is the need of the hour to standardise this formulation at scientific level. Use of advanced technology in kushta formation needs to be compared with classical method. Approaches for standardisation of kushta mentioned in classical literature should be done. For a standard Kushta, scientific studies should be carried out from the level of organoleptic evaluation, physico-chemical standardization, elemental analysis, microbial evaluation, pharmacokinetics, heavy metal toxicity studies and analytical techniques available for preparation and analysis of Kushta. Recently some studies regarding establishment of quality control of kushtas which have been done by research scholars are discussed in this paper.
