BhaishajyaKalpana is one of the most essential branches of learning in the science of Ayurveda. Among the innumerable dosage forms MalaharaKalpana is one of them in BhaishajayKalpana. Malahara Kalpana is the ointment preparation which has Sikthataila (beeswax and oil mixture) or ghrita, as the basic constituent. The other ingredients may include herbal, metal or mineral contents depending upon the usage. Rasa Tarangani a Rasa Shastra treatise of 20th century by Acharya Sadananda Sharma has enumerated various types of Malahara Kalpana taking mainly Siktha Taila as a base. Though this Kalpana holds firm roots in treating diseases the mention and explanation of this particular topic is scattered in this treatise. Hence the present article is an attempt to elucidate and unfold the Malahara Kalpana of Rasatarangani. In nut shell, a short review over historical background reveals that from Vaidika period to modern period various evolutionary changes in the preparation of Malahara Kalpana have taken place. During Vaidika period, simply a paste of drug was applied but later on other materials like Navaneeta, Ghrita etc. were started to add, with an intention to make them more potential.
