Vagbhata explains that if a drug is found suitable still it should be examined to

determine its rasa, virya, vipaka, guna ,karma, prabhava, procedure of use, dosage, and type of patient for whom it is meant.

The drug Medasaka (Litsea glutinosa Lour.) which is available in Udupi and it has been successfully used by folklore practitioners both externally and internally in the management of fracture , joint disorders, diarrhoea, dysentry and as a general tonic.

Janusandhi (Knee joint) is the largest and most complex synovial joint of the body and is a great importance. Janusandhigata vata (Osteoarthitis knee) is a vata vyadhi dominated by pain, swelling and stiffness. This is prevalent nowdays because of modern life style and food habits.

The root bark, stembark and leaf are proved for its anti inflammatory and analgesic activity on experimental animals (Menon Saritha et al., 2007). By looking this preclinical results we planned to evaluate the effect of stembark and leaf in the management of Janusandhigata vata.

The drug Medasaka (Litsea glutinosa Lour.) is been used by various folklore practitioners in various ailments as per the information collected from Folklore Medicine Research Centre, SDMCA Udupi. There is no reference of Medasaka observed in Samhitha, Purana and Veda. Botanical description, properties and therapeautic uses of Litsea glutinosa mentioned in recent books (Kirtikar, K. R. & Basu, B. D., 1933, Nadkarni, K. M. 1979, Bhat, Gopalakrishna K., 2003 ).

A study on anthelminthic activity against earthworm and tapeworm by using essential oil from Litsea glutinos (Mishra, et al., 1979).

A study on hypotensive effecting anasthetized dogs in a dose of 125mg/ kg by using essential oil obtained from Litsea glutinosa (Kar, et al., 1970). Acarya Susruta has mentioned Janusandhi as kora sandhi among the 8 type of sandhi and also mentioned sandhigata vata.( Acarya Susruta). In Caraka Samhitha Janu pramana and the disease Sandhigata vata mentioned under Vatavyadi ( Acarya Agnivesa).
