ABSTRACT
Sneha Kalpana (oleaginous preparations) is a commonly prescribed Ayurvedic dosage form and is the preparation of various medicated oils and ghee. Karviradya taila is a medicinal oil preparation that is applied externally to treat nasal polyposis as nasal drops, or Nasya. Preparing and executing the Karviradya Taila physio-chemical analysis are the goals. The general method of Taila Kalpana was used to make Karviradya Taila. Analytical studies, including character and physio-chemical parameter analyses, were conducted using the references found in the laboratory guide for analysis of Ayurvedic and Siddha formulations. Karviradya Taila's organoleptic characteristics included a reddish-yellow liquid with a characteristic smell. Tests were conducted on physio-chemical parameters such as specific gravity, loss on drying, refractive index, saponification value, and acid value. The rate of absorption is indicated by the higher saponification value of Karviradya Taila, whereas the lower acid value of the Taila suggests a lower likelihood of Taila decomposition. In conclusion, Karviradya Taila is mostly recommended for Nasarsha as a Sneha Kalpana. 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 Karviradya 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 while making Karviradya Taila.
