Abstract

Background: Cerebral Palsy includes a group of conditions that are characterized by chronic disorders of movement or posture. In present study Panchendriyavivardhana Taila described in Shatkapladhaya in Kashyapa Samhita was used for Nasya. Aim: To carry out stability study with respect to its Microbial profile of Panchendriyavivardhana Taila. To prove the concept of shelf life as given in Sharangdhara Samhita for Taila i.e. 16 Months. Material and Method: Sample of Panchendriyavivardhana Taila was prepared and studied to rule out any microbial contamination at regular and random time intervals. Result: At the end of study Taila has no presence of microbes after 15 months of preparation of sample, even in different climate conditions. Discussion: The present study was carried out to observe the stability study of Panchendriyavivardhana Taila with respect to microbial contamination of sample was prepared. Panchendriyavivardhana Taila was stored in plastic container during different climacteric conditions for a period of 15 months (452 days). Sample was studied at regular and random intervals to analysis mycological findings and presence of bacteriological findings by two methods i.e. smear examination and culture study. Conclusion: In the microbiological study of Panchendriyavivardhana Taila, there was no any growth found of microorganisms for a period of 15 months (452 days) and it proves the shelf life of Taila as per given in Samhita i.e. 16 months. Hence the stability test of Panchendriyavivardhna Taila with respect to microbiological findings was negative at room temperature, warm and cold, dry and humid conditions.
