Abstract	Sindhura has been recognized since ancient times and is frequently mentioned in classical Rasagranthas as a Sādhāraṇa Rasa. However, texts like Rasataraṅgiṇī and Bhāvaprakāśa categorize it under Upadhātu. While some authors have interpreted Sindhura as “red oxide of mercury,” Rasataraṅgiṇī distinctly identifies it as lead oxide. The formulation Sindhurādhya Taila contains Sindhura, Jīraka, and Sarṣapa Taila, all of which are known for their Raktaśodhaka (blood-purifying), Kaṇḍūghna (anti-pruritic), Kotha/Kusṭhaghna (skin disease alleviating), and Krimighna (antimicrobial) properties. This study was undertaken to prepare Sindhurādhya Taila as per the standards of the Ayurvedic Formulary of India (AFI), with classical reference from Cakradatta, for its use as an external application in the management of Pāma (scabies or eczema). The formulation underwent physicochemical and microbial analysis, and the results were systematically observed and recorded.
