Abstract

Ayurvedic tailams have a long history of use and efficacy. They have been used for centuries, with many individuals reporting positive results in managing and improving their health. Ayurvedic tailams typically have fewer side effects compared to synthetic medications, making them a preferred choice for individuals seeking natural remedies and  can be applied both externally (for massage) and, in some cases, internally (for specific therapies). This versatility allows for a wide range of applications and health benefits.The current study focuses on the GC MS analysis of Arukaladi tailam, an oil composition used in Ayurveda to treat jaundice when administered topically. Before being subjected to the GC MS analysis, the product was appropriately prepared after being purchased from a reputable Ayurvedic dealer in Chennai, India. The IC50 value of the DPPH assay was found to be 744.7391μl/ml and FRAP reveals that the tailam had good reducing power. Further the anti-inflammatory of the tailam exhibited 14.2% of haemolysis at 1000μl/ml and inhibited protein denaturation by 63.74% with an IC50 value of 789.4013 µl/ml. The presence of biomolecules as shown in the GC MS profile are 2-Fluoro-6-trifluoromethylbenzoic acid, 2- tetradecyl ester, Tridecanol, 2-ethyl-2-methyl-, etc. These chemicals could help the medication work better to treat jaundice.
