Abstract

Sneha Kalpana, a group of medicated Taila and Ghrita is an important dosage form described in Ayurveda. It is the only dosage form that can be administered conveniently both internally and externally depending on the diseased conditions. Among these, Taila Kalpana is considered as the drug of choice for Vatavikaras. Gandharvahasta Taila is mentioned in Ashtanga Sangraha in the context of Vidradhivrudhi Chikitsa indicated in Vidradhi, Pleeha, Vata disorders, etc. Aim: The aim of the study was to prepare and analyze the physicochemical parameters of Gandharvahastadi Taila. Materials and Methods: Gandharvahasta Taila was prepared as per the reference in Ashtanga Sangraha. The obtained product was subjected to organoleptic and physicochemical analysis. Results: Physicochemical parameters obtained are refractive index at 25°C - 1.463, saponification value - 190 mg/g, unsaponifiable matter - 1.4%, specific gravity at 30°C - 0.9201, and viscosity at 30°C - 880cp. Conclusion: The values obtained after analysis were found to be within the permissible limits of API.
