ABSTRACT

Nirgundyadi Taila is a classical Ayurvedic formulation comprising ingredients such as Nirgundi, Jaati, Arka, Rasona, Bhringaraja, Karpasa, Sahijana, Tulsi, Ardraka, Karvellaka, Vatsanabha, and Tila Taila as the base. The study aims to evaluate its physicochemical, microscopic, and identification characteristics to validate its quality and authenticity. The formulation was prepared under standardized conditions and subjected to macroscopic and physicochemical analysis. Results indicated that Nirgundyadi Taila exhibited Reddish yellow colour, with characterstic smell. Tests were conducted on physiochemical parameters significant such as specific gravity, loss on drying, refractive index, saponification value of Nirgundyadi Taila where as lower acid value of the Taila suggests a lower likelihood of Taila decomposition. In conclusion, Nirgundyadi Taila is mostly recommended in Karna Nada because of its Vata-Shamaka properties. Because local applications shield the mucosal barrier, facilitate the percutaneous absorption of the integrated medicine, and are rapidly absorbed, they are advantageous. The preliminary standards for manufacturing Nirgundyadi Taila. Taila can be derived from the findings of the pharmaceutical and analytical investigation conducted on the plant. The findings of this study can be used as a standard reference.
