Abstract

Tailas or oils are important group of formulations used by Ayurvedic physicians to treat various types of diseases. Mahanarayan massages oils formulation which is used for the treatment of arthritis, Paralysis, and other joint related disorders. It also helps to stimulate the internal functions of the body while providing nourishment to different body tissues. Oils also lubricate to skin and tissue.  The Present work was conducted to standardize the selected five marketed Mahanarayan massages oils for their physicochemical parameters, i.e. color, odor, pH, specific gravity, acid value, peroxide value and saponification value. The findings of the study showed that Mahanarayan massages oils were complies the requirements for physicochemical parameters as prescribed in standard text.

Keywords: Mahanarayan massage oils, physiochemical parameters
