The present study of GC MS analysis of one Ayurvedic formulation, Khadirarishtam, was undertaken to know the types of biomolecules present in it. This medicine is used to treat chronic skin ailments. The GC MS profile of Khadirarishtam indicated the presence of some important biomolecules such as Eucalyptol, Phnylethyl alcohol, Ethyl hydrogen succinate, .alpha.-Terpineol, 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural, Acetic acid, chloro-,3-phenylpropyl ester, Eugenol, Benzeethanol,4-hydroxy-, Propanoic acid, anhydride, Benzoic acid, 4-hydroxy-, Disulphide, methyl (methylthio)phenylmethyl, Hexadecnoic acid, 2-hydroxy-1-(hydroxymethyl) ethyl ester, Octadecanoic acid and 2,3-dihydropropyl ester etc. These biomolecules have been reported to have the medicinal properties which represent those of Khadirarishtam. Further study to establish the molecular mechanism of these compounds is warranted.
