Abstract

Shwetha Karaveeradya Taila is mentioned in Charaka Samhita, Kushta Chikitsadhyaya having the ingredients like Shwetha Karaveera, Chitraka, Vidanga, Gomuthra and Tila Taila. Pharmaceutically modified Ointment is an alternative solution to overcome the disadvantage of Taila like its application, transportation and packing. Hence, Shwetha Karaveeradya Taila was prepared by using Shwetha Karaveeradya swarasa, Gomutra, Vidanga, Chitraka, and Tila Taila in the proportion of 1/4: 1: 4. The Shwetha Karaveeradya Ointment was prepared by using Shwetha Karaveeradya Taila (81.577%), Hard paraffin (13.0039) and White petroleum jelly (5.418%). Both the sample were evaluated Pharmaceutically and analytically. And the results show no much differences while comparing the values of analytical study. HPTLC of both the samples shows the similar number of peaks and similarity in chemical constituent but the concentration is varying in some substance.
