Skin diseases are very common, affecting up to a third of the population at any one time. Skin diseases have serious impacts on life. They can cause physical damage, embarrassment, social and occupational restrictions. Some skin diseases can be life threatening. In Ayurveda, all the skin diseases are described under Kustha roga. Management of various skin diseases through Ayurveda have shown better results in comparison with modern treatment. Use of Sneha Kalpana (Medicated ghee and oils) in the management of Kustha roga has been vogue since samhitha period. Arka Taila is an important formulation described by Acharya Sarangadhara in the management of skin diseases like Pama, Kacchu and Vicharchika. An attempt has been made in the present study to prepare Arka Taila and standardise it through analytical parameters like Organoleptic properties, Moisture value, Acid value, Saponification value and Iodine value. All the parameters were found to be good and within the standards.
