Karaviradya taila oil used externally in abhyanga (massage) for lomashatana (depilation). Objectives: To prepare carry out physico-chemical analysis karaviradya taila. Materials Methods: was prepared by general method i.e ¼:1:4 analytical study like organoleptic characters physico- chemical parameters were carried based on references available laboratory guide Ayurveda Siddha formulation. Results Discussion: The total obtained 85% loss 15%. Organoleptic showed translucent green viscous liquid with alkaline odor, Physico- pH, specific gravity, viscosity, suspended solids, refractive index tested. increased Saponification value indicates rate absorption, low acid less chance decomposition Evaporation moisture contents leads to decrease rancidity factors. Peroxide iodine primary oxidation. Conclusion: a sneha mainly indicated loma shatana Local applications beneficial because they are quickly absorbable, protect skin promotes percutaneous absorption incorporated drug. results pharmaceutical can be considered as preliminary standards taila.
