Abstract

Sneha Kalpana is one among the several highly established Kalpanas of Ayurvedic system of medicine.  Many types of Taila Kalpanas are mentioned in Ayurvedic classics and used effectively in therapeutic practice. Tila Taila is the most commonly using Taila. However, Narikela Taila, Eranda Taila, Sarshapa Taila, etc, are also used in special conditions. While checking different Sneha Kalpana, we can see same formulations prepared in different bases.
