Scientific proof for ‘seeing is believing’ –chromatogram based evidence for Dano anti dandruff oil

One of the reasons for the poor conversion of Siddha drugs from tall promise to therapeutically effective despite they are being formulated with time tested and laboratory proven herbal ingredients is due to the question of whether the herbs are present in the finished product. The present study has established the fingerprint perseverance of certain herbs on ‘as is basis’ and in the finished product. We have chosen anti dandruff oil, a scientifically and clinically proven Siddha drug for the present study. Study findings shows that anti dandruff oil speak and does its promise may be because the herbs in the formulation are well preserved in the finished product as established by HPTLC.
