The present study deals with the GC MS analysis of one Ayurvedic medicine, Nasika Churna which is used for the treatment of respiratory diseases. Nasika churnam was procured from a standard Ayurvedic vendor at Chennai and subjected to GC MS analysis following standard protocol. Some important molecules such as Cyclobutane-1, 1-dicarboxamide, N, N'-di-benzoyloxy-, Ar-tumerone, Ethyl p-methoxycinnamate, Tetradecanoic acid, cis-13-Octadecenoic acid, cis-Vaccenic acid, Dodecanoic acid, 2-phenylethyl ester, Stigmasterol,.gamma.-Sitosterol, Succinic acid, di(3, 7-dimethyloct-6-en-1-yl) ester etc. indicate the medicinal roles which are similar to the medicinal roles attributed to Nasika churna in Ayurveda. Further probing into the activities of each molecule is warranted.
