55. CONCLUSION
• Prasarini Taila is the classical formulation that keeps the vata
and kapha doshas in a balanced state.
• Acharya Sharangadhara’s Reference is the one which is
extensively used.
• The reference of sharagadhara is almost similar to that of
kubja prasarini taila explained in Bhaishajya Ratnavali which
contains bala as one of the kalka dravya and the quantity of
ksheera is half of the quantity mentioned by Acharya
sharangadhara.

56. • In day to day practise, this taila is generally used for external
use in the treatment of pain and stiffness in the joints,
sciatica, RA, kyphosis, paraplegia, facial palsy etc… which
helps in reducing the pain, swelling and stiffness.
• The taila is vastly used in vata conditions also with vata
anubandha with kapha conditions.
