Abstract

Introduction: Ayurveda is a treasury of variety of dosage forms for internal and external  usage, malahara kalpana (ointment preparations) being one of them. This study deals with the  pharmaceutical development of a new formulation of malahara using coconut oil, bee wax and purified  borax on the basis of classically explained other malahara formulations.  Methods and materials: The preparation of the modified tankana malahara was done as per the classical  guidelines of other malahara kalpana with three different ratios of ingredients. General observations and  organoleptic parameters of all three samples were noted.  Results and Discussion: Modified tankana malahara prepared with different ratio of ingredients were  similar in physical attributes as well as organoleptic parameters. Conclusion: As per the study all the samples of tankana malahara are pharmaceutically indistinguishable.  Hence it can be concluded that, tankana malahara prepared with maximum quantity tankana is likely to  have more therapeutic potency than other two ratios with less borax.
