Aims: The GC MS analysis of one herbal oil, Kunthalakanti thailam to understand the molecules present there in. Materials and Methods: Kunthalakanti thailam was bought from standard Ayurvedic vendor from Chennai. It was processed and GC MS analysis was done by standard procedures.. Statistical Analysis used: No statistical data is used. Results: The GC MS report indicated the presence of mostly fatty acids and their esters which have potent antioxidant, anti-allergic properties such as N Hexadacoinc acid, 2-Methyl-3-93- methyl-but-2-enyl)-enyl)-oxetane, 3, 7-Decadien-2-one, 10-(3,3-dimethoxyloxiran dimethyl-, (E,E)-,+/-. Etc. have medicinal activities which help in keeping the homeostasis of the scalp and maintain good health to hair follicles and hair.
