Cartilage is a slippery tissue that covers the end of bones in a joint. Healthy cartilage allows the bone to glide over one another. In osteoarthritis the surface layer of cartilage break down under and wears away. This allows bones under the cartilage rub together, causing pain, swelling and loss of motion of the joint. Over the time the joint may lose its normal shape. It is a degenerative wear-and-tear type of arthritis that occurs most often in people of 50 years of age and older, but may occur in younger people too. This study was intended to find out the efficacy of <em>Rasnadi</em> <em>Guggulu</em> and <em>Panchatikta</em> <em>Ghrita Guggulu</em> in the management of <em>Janusandhigata</em> <em>Vata</em>. Screening of the patient suffering from <em>Janusandhigata</em> <em>Vata</em> was done at arthritis camp. And finally patients who fulfilled all necessary criteria gave written consent for the clinical trial, were enrolled for the trial as volunteers.</p>}, number={4}, journal={AYUSHDHARA}, author={H.M.Harisha and Suhasini.L.Dandagi* and Rakesh H.R}, year={2019}, month={Nov.}, pages={2269-2274} }
