Selenium is one of the important nutrients that are essential in the body for a healthy metabolism. Sodium selenate is the inorganic form of selenium used in several supplements for the prevention and treatment of different disorders. The objective of this study was to determine the impact of The Trivedi Effect®-The Energy of Consciousness Healing Treatment on the physicochemical, spectroscopic, and thermal properties of sodium selenate. In this regard, sodium selenate was divided in two parts among which one part was kept untreated and termed as control sample. Besides, the another part was treated remotely with The Trivedi Effect®-Biofield Energy Healing Treatment by the renowned Biofield Energy Healer, Mr. Mahendra Kumar Trivedi and referred as Biofield Energy Treated sample. Consequently, both the samples were analysed using various analytical techniques such as PXRD, PSA, FT-IR, UV-Vis, TGA, and DSC. The PXRD analysis of the treated sample showed the significant changes from -11.10% to +50% in the crystallite sizes along with 4.2% increase in average crystallite size as compared to the control sample. Besides, the particle sizes d10, d50, d90, and D (4,3) values of the treated sample were found to be significantly reduced by 51.61%, 38.79%, 25.31%, and 33.05%, respectively as compared to the control sample. Moreover, the treated sample also showed 70.99% increase in surface area as compared to the control sample. The TGA analysis of the treated sample revealed 60.96% increased weight loss than the control and the maximum degradation temperature (Tmax) was also reported to be decreased by 21.67% as compared to control. The DSC studies showed the slight lowering (0.95%) in the melting point of treated sample along with 31.37% significant increase in the latent heat of fusion compared with the control sample. However, the FT-IR and UV-Vis of Biofield Energy Treated sample did not reveal any significant alteration, as compared with the spectra of the control sample. The overall analysis revealed that The Trivedi Effect®- Energy of Consciousness Healing Treatment might alter the crystal morphology of sodium selenate. Moreover, the treated sample showed reduced particle size along with increased surface area that may enhance the solubility, absorption and bioavailability parameters of sodium selenate. Thus, the Trivedi Effect® Treated sodium selenate would be useful for designing the better nutraceutical and/or pharmaceutical preparations that could offer better therapeutic response against inflammatory diseases, immunological disorders, stress, aging, heart diseases, infectious diseases, diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, etc.
