ABSTRACT

Introduction: Ksheerabala taila is a traditional Ayurvedic medicine used for the treatment of various diseases from vata dosha. Ksheerabala taila is an important Sneha kalpana prepared from goksheera, bala (Sida cordifolia) and tila taila as the ingredients. Avartana is a unique concept refers to the repetitive processing of the particular formulation to a specific number of times and avartita sneha aimed to fortify the sneha preparation. Owing to this, an attempt is made in this study to prepare Ksheerabala taila and Ksheerabala taila avartana 7,21,50,101 and to analyze their pharmaceutical, organoleptic and physico- chemical parameters for further documentation. Materials and methods: Ksheerabala taila and its respective avartana were prepared as per the reference and their organoleptic and physico- chemical parameters were analyzed. Observations and Results: A significant change in the consistency, colour, odour was noticed and after 19th avartana, ghrita pakasiddhi lakshanas were observed in contrary to the taila pakasiddhi lakshanas and also increase in the quantity of final filtrate was observed in successive avartanas. Discussion: Avartana process has brought many changes in the nature of the drugs used. It follows different method of preparation and physico- chemical analysis conducted on Ksheerabala taila and its respective avartana showed marked difference in the values and were analyzed and discussed. Conclusion: Duration of the preparation and also time required for pakasiddhi lakshana in each avartana varies depending on the final outcome of the taila. Physico-chemical parameters analyzed are within the standards and suggestive of difference in the nature and consistency of the final product of Ksheerabala taila and its respective avartanas.
