Abstract

The incidence of Hairfall is increasing alarmingly now a day’s due to changes in life style and increased stress. Hair plays an important role not only as a protective appendage of the body but also enhances the beauty of the individual. In Ayurveda herbs are used for the problems related with hair. Now a day’s herbal cosmetics are preferred because of their efficacy and safety. In Ayurveda, falling of hair (Khalitya or Keshapatana) is described in detail along with numerous formulations for managing this condition. Tiladi Taila, mentioned in Sahasrayogam (TailaPrakarana) is one such formulation. An attempt has been made in the present study to prepare Tiladi Taila and analyse it for its Organoleptic properties, Acid value, Iodine value, Moisture content W/W and Saponification value. All the parameters are found to be good and within the standard parameters.
