Key Points

To review the classical concepts, specialized apparatuses, and pharmaceutical principles underlying Taila Patana Vidhi for extracting oils from dense or low-yield substances.
Conducted a systematic conceptual literary review across classical Ayurveda and Rasashastra texts.
Compiled and analyzed descriptive data on apparatus designs (Yantras), processing steps, and target raw materials.
Identified Patala Yantra, Bhudhara Yantra, and Akasha Patana Yantra as specialized devices for extracting oils from seeds, barks, bones, and minerals like Gandhaka.
Demonstrated that the underlying mechanisms rely on controlled thermal degradation, pressure changes, and condensation, mirroring modern destructive distillation.
