N2 - Objective: Anuthailam, an Ayurvedic oil used for the treatment of diseases related to the brain, nose, sinus, eyes, head, neck, shoulders, and arms. Anuthailam is subjected to Gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC-MS) analysis to understand the molecules present therein. Materials and Methods: Anuthailam was bought from a standard Ayurvedic vendor at Chennai and subjected to GC-MS analysis by the standard procedures. The medicinal roles of the biomolecules indicated in the GC-MS profile were screened for their various medicinal roles using Dr. Duke’s Phytochemical and ethno-botanical data and other data. Results: GC-MS profile of the Anuthailam indicated the presence of important biomolecules such as 15-Hydroxypentadecanoic acid, hexadecanoic acid, 2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl)ethyl ester, trans-13-Octadecenoic acid, 9-Octadecenoic acid (Z)-, 2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl)ethyl ester, 1-Heptatriacotanol.,gamma.-Tocopherol, (3-Fluorophenyl)carbamic acid, 2-isopropyl-5-methylphenyl ester, Stigmasterol, Hexadecanoic acid, 1-(hydroxymethyl)-1,2-ethanediyl ester, etc. Conclusions: It is concluded that Anuthailam, does have a scientific efficacy toward its claimed role as a medicine in Ayurveda. Further research is required for a better understanding of the medicinal roles of Anuthailam.
