Abstract
Arka Taila is an important Ayurvedic formulation containing Arka (Calotropis procera (Ait)R. Br), Haridra (Curcuma longa Linn.), Sarsapa (Brassica nigra). 15% aerosol was added in Arka Taila for obtaining Arka Taila gel. Arka Taila gel was used externally in Vicharchika (Eczema). All the constituents are available and prepared according to the reference described in Sharangadhara Samhita. No research work has been done to standardize the drug so this study was done to standardize the compound Ayurvedic formulation through Pharmacognostical and pharmaceutical evaluation. The sample was subjected for different phytochemical parameters like Acid value (7.055), Iodine value (12.08), Saponification value (231.88), refractive value (1.482), specific gravity (0.91), pH (6.5%), HPTLC. The HPTLC, solvent system was Toluene: ethyl acetate (9:1), showed the presence of 11 spots at 254nm and 6 spots at 366nm. So the physiochemical and microscopic findings obtained that gives directions for standardization of drug, Arka Taila gel.
