Abstract

Zandu Vaporising Cold Rub is a topical Ayurvedic preparation containing active ingredients such as camphor, turpentine oil, eucalyptus oil, and menthol. This study aims to evaluate the product’s claims as an over-the-counter (OTC) remedy for cold and pain relief. A prospective, open-label, phase 4 study was conducted with consenting adults (n=30) experiencing cold-related symptoms. Each participant received one bottle of the product and used it over a 6-day period. Efficacy was measured through a visual analogue scale on days 0, 2, 4, and 6. The results showed a significant reduction in symptoms of a blocked nose, cold, and congestion within 2 days, and a reduction in cold-related headaches by day 6 (p < 0.001). Conclusion : Zandu Vaporising Cold Rub is an effective treatment for cold and its associated symptoms.
