Nowadays many drug industries are manufacturing a number of oil formulations and which are not assessable to know the specific Pakas (stage) of oil preparation. In Ayurveda five stages have been mentioned for medicated oils, these Ama, Mridu, Madhya Khara and Dadgha Paka, Medicated oils obtained by Mridu, Madhya Khara and Dadgha Paka, are considered to be of therapeutic value and are advocated for clinical usage but those obtained by Ama and Dadgha pakas are not recommended. Most of the pharmacies are marketing the oils only by name but are not mentioning the Paka. In order to standardize these pakas with scientific explanation a oil preparation called Ksheerabala taila is selected for the study.
如今，许多制药行业生产了大量的油剂配方，但无法确定油剂制备的具体阶段。在阿育吠陀医学中，药用油提到了五个阶段，即未消化阶段、轻度阶段、中度阶段、成熟阶段和消化阶段。通过轻度、中度和成熟阶段获得的药用油被认为具有治疗价值，并被提倡用于临床，但未消化阶段和消化阶段获得的油剂不被推荐。大多数药店仅按名称销售这些油剂，却未提及阶段。为了用科学解释对这些阶段进行标准化，选择了一种名为乳香巴拉油的油剂制备进行研究。
