Abstract
Objective: The scientific validity of contemporary and alternative medicinal forms such as Ayurveda and Siddha is of prime importance in today's world. Materials and Methods: Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) study of one pain relieving Ayurvedic oil, Karpooradi Thailam and to correlate its medicinal activity with the biomolecules present in it. Karpooradi Thailam was bought from a standard Ayurvedic vendor at Chennai and subjected to GC MS analysis by standard procedures. Results: The presence of some important biomolecules such as N Hexadacoinc acid, Chloroacetic acid, dodec-9-ynylester, n-Decanoic acid, Trichloroacetic acid, dodec-9-ynyl ester, Hexadecanoic acid, and 2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl) ethyl ester has biochemical properties which help in relief from pain and inflammation. Conclusions: The presence of these biomolecules having medicinal properties support the validity of skin treatment with Karpooradi Thaila.
