Abstract

Sneha Kalpana is defined as the pharmaceutical process where the fat soluble and water-soluble active principles are extracted from the basic ingredients into the Sneha. Sneha incorporates the qualities of the drugs added to it without losing its own qualities. Manjishtadya taila is formulation from Chakradutta Kshudraroga chikitsaprakaranam, which is a Sneha Kalpana prepared using murchitha tila taila indicated in neelika, pidaka, vyanga, vali, palitha resulting in mukha prasadana, and the same is selected for analysis and pharmaceutical modification. Total 3 batches of Manjishtadya taila followed by 3 batches of Manjishtadya taila cream was prepared, analysed and evaluated. Standard operative procedure of taila preparation is done followed by its pharmaceutical modification in form of cream on the basis of trialand- error. Analytical study including organoleptic parameters, physicochemical parameters and chromatography was performed on the base guidelines of standardization parameters of ASU drugs for Taila and cream preparation. These parameters provide crucial information about product quality. Topical applications have different therapeutic indications and when used appropriately, it gives tremendous result. The results of pharmaceutical and analytical study of Manjishtadya taila are the standards for the preparation of any modification. And this modification helps in easy acceptability with the evolutionary changes in the present era.
