STANDARDIZATION OF TAIL BINDU MUTRA PARIKSHA – AN IMPORTANT PROGNOSTIC TOOL
Seema Dhabaliya*, Pravinkumar Kharadi, Devkinandan Wagh and Jasmin Gohel
ABSTRACT Astavidha rogi pariksha is one of the main diagnostic tools described in Ayurveda. Tail bindu pariksha described in it is not only diagnostic but also prognostic in nature. It was very popularin medieval period but became obsolete with time. It is very simple and cost- effective. In it, urine sample is collected in a glass vessel and a drop of til taila is dropped over it. Shape and direction of tail bindu is observed. The direction of tail bindu is indicative of prognosis while the shape of drop is indicative of dosha/disease. Taila bindu pareeksha is a special technique of urine examination explained in Ayurveda classics. In classics, procedure of Taila bindu pareeksha is explained, but primary standardization has to be achieved as there are many variables like shape and size of vessel, material of vessel, volume of urine to be taken in vessel, size of oil drop, height from which oil is to be dropped on the surface of urine, variety of Tila taila (sesamum oil) to be selected.
