Oil Drop Test (Taila Bindu Pariksha)
Taila
bindu pariksha or oil drop test is a part of urine examination.
One hour before sunrise patient's urine is collected in oval shaped earthen pot or glass jar. One drop of sesame oil is dropped on the surface of urine. The patterns and the oil drop distribution determine the diagnosis. If the oil drop spreads quickly over the surface of urine it indicates that disease is curable and easy to heal. If it doesn't spread and remains at the same spot it indicates that disease it difficult to treat. If the oil drop sinks to the middle of jar and then spreads it also indicates that disease is difficult to treat. If the oil drop sinks at the bottom of jar disease is considered incurable. If the oil drop spreads in the shape of snake it indicated Vata disorders. Umbrella shape indicates Pitta disorders and shape of pearls indicates Kapha disorders.
The description of urine diagnosis can be found in classical literature of Ayurveda like Vangasena Samhita, Basavarajeeyam and Yogaratnakara.
