It is indicated in almost all diseases explained in classics starting from Jwara (Fever), Visha (Poisoning), till Shalakya tantra (treatment of disorders above clavicle) related disorders. Lack of proper commercial pharmaceutical dispensing form and unexplored clinical utility of Anjana (Collyrium) made its concept doubtful / un-explored.

Result – The ointment was prepared (Single batch) under all aseptic conditions and microbial analysis was done and was clinically tried and found effective.
