ABSTRACT:

Ayurveda is one of the oldest sciences in the world, with a long history of managing diseases, involving the use of plant products in different forms, as using it directly or in combined forms. Approximately 90% of Ayurvedic preparations are plant based. Shaka (Tectona grandis Linn.) is a tropical hardwood tree, used mainly as timber. It belongs to the family Lamiaceae. Instead of  timber purposes, various parts of teak have therapeutic properties. The plant is well described in Ayurvedic classics and  Nigantus for various disease conditions like Kusta, Prameha, Rakthapitta etc. Shaka (Teak) remains pharmacologically less evaluated and therapeutically less used drug in research field. This is an attempt to compile the basic literary knowledge of Shaka (Tectona grandis) from various classical texts.The pharamacognostical study of Shaka Pushpa has been done and added to the compilation.
