Abstract:

Gandhaka Taila is a herbo-mineral preparation explained in various classical texts, mainly indicated in kushta. When the texts of Rasa Shastra were scrutinised, the nomenclature, Gandhaka taila is seen to be given for various preparations. The method of preparation is similar to that of Gandhaka Druti. Interestingly Rasendra Chintamani and Rasatarangini have explained a unique preparation of Gandhaka Taila. 3 batches of Gandhaka Taila were prepared to develop SOP (standard Operative Procedure) and samples were analysed with suitable analytical parameters. The 3 samples of Gandhaka Taila prepared showed almost similar results in all the analysis carried out.

Key words: gandhaka, gandhaka taila, analysis
