Abstract

Sneha kalpanas are administered through different routes as different procedures like Abhyanga, Pana, Nasya, Basti and karna purana. Taila Kalpana is one of the best among different dosage forms as the water soluble properties are brought into the Sneha and administered and this can be even used externally. Nasya is one of the most efficient therapy in urdhwanga vyadhis in which medicament is administered through nasal route. Anu taila is one such taila Kalpana which is indicated in nasya by most of the acharyas. The uniqueness in the preparation of Anu taila is that almost all the acharyas have mentioned Antariksha jala as the Drava Dravya. So Contemplating this, a comparative pharmaceutico analytical study will be carried out using different types of water to acknowledge if the rain water is more efficacious than the tap water and RO water and to standardize the water to be used in preparation of Anu Taila.
