ABSTRACT

Ayurveda is the oldest medical science, based on use of processed natural products. But for last few centuries the practice of this medical science become reduced due to allopathic treatment has flourished in various countries due to quick symptomatic relief, easily availability and massive production. For drug efficacy and reproducibility of therapeutic uses, it is essential to standardize the product. The remedy consists in employing a Piccha-Basti with Yashtimadhu and black sesamum pasted together and dissolved in clarified butter and honey. The patient should be laved in cold water and be given his food with milk. Anuvasana-Basti with the cream of clarified butter or with oil cooked with Yashtimadhu should be employed. Medicated oil/ghee is one of the important dosage form widely described in Ayurvedic pharmaceutics. Four types of Snehas (Fatty preparation) are described in Ayurvedic literature. These are ghrita, taila, vasa and majja. Among these taila (medicated oil) and ghrita (medicated ghee) are more popular in therapeutic uses. Preparation of medicated oils and ghee is a bit complicated procedure and require special care regarding proportion of ingredients, heating pattern and temperature. Hence in present work an attempt has been made to establish pharmaceutical standardization of Yastimadhu Siddha Taila as per reference of Sushruta Samhita and in this article an attempt has been made to review regarding properties of taila, process of method of preparations of drugs, stages of paka (preparation) and its various therapeutic and analytical indications.
