Abstract

In clinical practice diagnosis of disease is a very important aspect. Its importance is underlined by the ancient scholars. In Ayurvedic classics there are various method described for the roga-rogi pariksha like Trividha pariksha, Dashvidha pariksha and Astasthana pariksha etc. The Taila Bindu Pariksha was described for the examination of urine to assess the prognosis as well as to diagnose the disease under Astasthana Pariksha. It is a cost-effective and very simple technique. The test is performed with the help of Tila Taila and urine of the patient. The first morning sample of urine is taken in a clean round glass container (Petri dish) and a drop of the oil is gently poured over it and characteristics of the oil drop like direction of spread, speed of spread, final shape attained and time of split etc were noted down. The Taila Bindu Pariksha was very popular tool to access the prognosis of the diseases in the medieval period but it became absolute with time. Thus, it is need of time to reestablish this age old technique in the benefit of mankind.
