OSTEOPENIA AYURVEDIC TREATMENT – CAUSES, SYMPTOMS & MORE
ABSTRACT
In order to maintain our posture and give our bodies the right shape, bones serve as the structural component of the body. Organic, inorganic, and water-based materials all make up bones. proteins and collagen, which are organic materials. Calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, sodium, and other inorganic elements. On the one hand, inorganic components give bone its rigid and hard texture, and make up around 40-42% of it (mainly calcium, 85%), while water makes up the remaining 23-25% of bone components. Organic components are flexible in texture and make up about 34 to 37% of bone (primarily type 1 collagen). Fractures and issues with the bones can be brought on by changes in the ratio or a lack of certain components. A few more illnesses include autoimmune disorders, when the body begins to rebel against itself as a result of injury, infection, or treatment.

AYURVEDIC ASPECT
Health is the result of the Doshas, Dhatus, and Malas being in equilibrium, while sickness is the result of their disharmony. Either Vriddhi and Kshaya may be in a state of imbalance. The fifth of the seven Dhatus is Asthi.It serves as both the deha-dharana and the seat of the vata dosha. One of the 18 forms of kshaya listed by Acharya Charak, Asthikshaya, includes kshaya of Asthi Dhatu. The Ashraya-ashrayi Bhava concept states that Asthi and Vata are inversely proportional to one another in terms of Vriddhi and Kshaya. Aggravated Vata leads to Asthi Dhatu Kshaya. The symptoms of Asthi Kshaya are similar to those of osteoporosis, a serious health issue facing the aging population.

CONDITION KNOWN AS
(अस्थि क्षय)
Low bone mass and micro architecture degeneration of bone tissue, together with an increase in bone fragility and fracture susceptibility, characterise this skeletal illness. The most frequent consequence of osteoporosis is fracture, which raises the risk of both morbidity and death. Vata is the main contribution component in the Asthikshaya Samprapti, which can happen in one of two ways: Dhatukshayajanya or Sroto Rudhijanya. Using Deepana and Pachana Dravyas, the blockage in Srotorodhajanya can be removed. The primary therapy techniques for Asthi Kshaya are Nidanparivarjan, Shodhana Chikitsa, including Basti, Shamana Chikitsa, using Swayoni Dravyas, Sudha Vargiya Dravyas, and Guggulu Kalapa. As well as enhancing bone health, they aid in vata shamana. This sickness can be avoided by adhering to Dincharya, Rutucharya, and nutrition management.
