Taila or snehap腻ka (Medicated oils): The medicated substances in the liquid form are boiled with recommended oils till all the water present is evaporated. The remaining oil is used as medicine both internally and externally. Oil for internal use is less boiled than those used externally. Example: Nirgun岣峣 taila. Oils used as external/topical application get absorbed well. The water based substances are not absorbed through skin. Hence, snehap腻ka is equal to parenteral route of drug administration. If honey bee or any other wax is added it turns into malaharam or ointment. Example: Sindh奴r腻di-lepam. The lepam (malaharam) or ointment form is more popular today than earlier. If 驳丑峁泃补 (ghee) is used in the place of oil, the resulting medicament is known as 驳丑峁沘办补濒辫补. Example: J腻ty腻dighrita.
