STUDY OF TAILA BINDU PARIKSHA ON ARTIFICIAL URINE

Abstract

Taila bindu pariksha is an ancient technique described in medieval Ayurvedic texts by which prognosis of disease can be predicted. For revival of this ancient technique efforts have been made and procedure of Taila bindu pariksha has been standardized but till date reference range in healthy and diseased condition has not been established. For establishing reference range it is needed that study should be done at large scale. It is quite difficult to get urine of same individual repeatedly to check consistency of test as well as urine of various pathological states as desired. So, it was planned that if an observation on artificial urine matches with that of normal urine then it can be used easily in future for performing Taila bindu pariksha. For this aim it was decided to prepare stock solution which can be turned into urine of different pathological conditions by adding various constituents so that observations can be recorded and thus both normal as well as abnormal range can be established easily. Test was performed on artificial urine prepared at two different times but result didn’t match with that of normal urine. Hence, it was concluded that spread in Taila bindu pariksha depends on para-magnetic constituents present in traces which are undiscovered till date.
