Abstract
Tuvaraka ( Hydnocarpus pentandra (Buch. - Ham.)) is one among the most trusted drugs from the treasure of Ayurveda. The oil extracted from the seeds of 'pakwa tuvaraka phala', commonly known as 'chaulmoogra oil' is mentioned as a potential healer for all types of kushtha roga - a group of skin diseases. Tuvaraka ( Hydnocarpus pentandra (Buch. - Ham.)) widely grows in the Western Ghats. It i s an evergreen deciduous tree, growing up to 15 meters or more in height. The method of oil extraction from dry seeds of Tuvaraka has well documented 'classical' references. Since 'Tuvaraka taila' is a potent healer of 'kushtha roga' (skin diseases) and ve ry less used in the therapeutic world of Ayurveda because of its 'teekshna guna' (strong inherent properties), the further pharmaceutical, analytical and clinical studies are essential to make the 'taila' user friendly. In this regard, this article documen ts the 'Analytical parameters' and their results carried out on 'Tuvaraka beeja taila' with suitable discussion.
