Abstract: A common component of the body’s microbiota, Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive spherically shaped bacterium that belongs to the Bacillota and is frequently found in the upper respiratory tract and on the skin. The traditional remedy was produced as an Arka Thaila using Swarasa (juice) of Arka Patra (leaves of Caltropics procera), Kalka (paste) of HaridrÄ (Curcuma longa) and Sharshapa Thaila (mustard oil). The objective of this review was to investigate the effectiveness of this herbal oil from the text ShÄ rangadara SamhitÄ work to treat against Staphylococcus aureus bacterium. Information about bacteria and Arka Thaila was gleaned from Ayurvedic scriptures, contemporary texts and earlier research studies. Subsequently a comprehensive survey of the literature was conducted for these three ingredients in the selected oil, which was then scrutinized for their Pancha PadÄ rtha and pharmacological qualities against Staphylococcus aureus. Ayurvedic Pancha PadÄ rtha analysis has revealed that selected herbal formula is efficacious against Staphylococcus aureus. While majority of studies have demonstrated the anti-bacterial effects of herbal formula, reviewed articles have also highlighted additional qualities that aid in lowering the growth of bacterial. Based on the literature review and Pancha PadÄ rtha analysis, selected herbal formula proves to be valuable in the management of Staphylococcus aureus bacterium.
