Manjishtadi Adityapaka Taila is a herbo mineral formulation used externally for the treatment of Pama kushta, mentioned in Kushta Adhikara of Chakradutta.Its ingredients are Manjishta, Hareetaki, Vibhitaki, Amalaki, Laksha, Nisa, Shodhita Manashila, Shodhita Haratala and Shodhita Gandhakaalong withTila taila.
Methodology: For the pharmaceutical preparation, after the authentication of each ingredient as per the API parameters, the taila was prepared by Adityapaka method as per the reference in Chakradutta and it was modified into ointment by adding beeswax as the base, as per the reference of Siktha Taila in Rasa Tarangini.The pH, loss on drying, acid value, iodine value, saponification valueand HPTLC were checked for both the taila and ointment, while specific gravity, refractive index and peroxide value were checked only for taila and total acidity, total fat, viscosity, thermal stability, spreadability and homogeneity were checked specific for the ointment.
Results: From the analytical parameters, the ointment was found more stable than the taila.
Conclusion:The pharmaceutical modification of the taila into ointment has contributed in enhancing its stability.
