Porous bone is the word definition of osteoporosis. It generally makes bones weak and exposes them to sudden and unexpected fractures. This ailment often advances without any manifestation or pain and is not diagnosed until bone fracture. This constraint denotes less bone mass and strength. This condition is largely seen in adults aged above 50 and mostly among senior citizens. Holes appear in the trabecular area of the bone which is spongy. These porous areas grow enormous and more numerous which causes attrition in the bone. The risk of acquiring osteoporosis comes with increasing age. Certain medical conditions like an overactive thyroid, bariatric history, hormone treatment, blood cancer, genetic abnormality, hereditary, and obesity can risk the condition. Eating habits, tobacco, alcohol, and lifestyle can also influence the hazard of developing this condition.

Asthi Kshaya - Ayurvedic Correlation

Kshaya means diminution or decay. Asthi kshaya is linked with a decline in bone tissue which can be an independent condition. Also, Asthi-soushirya, Asthi-daurbalya, Asthi-lagahava, Asthi-shunyata, etc are some of the related terms of Asthi-kshaya. The porosity of bone is due to the annoyance of tridosha and panchamahabhuta. Among the doshas, Vayu is the aggravated dosha and Akasha is the Mahabharata that is liable for this condition. The roughness of skin, laxity of joints, lassitude, brittleness of teeth and nails, etc are the symptoms that occur due to this condition. Since the disease occurs due to the vitiation of Vata dosha, lubrication should be provided to the bones for easy movements and to ameliorate their roughness. Milk, Ghee can be incorporated into the daily diet regimen. As a part of the therapy, pungent drugs and enema therapy can be administered. Ayurvedic formulations that include Sudha Varga dravyas, Amalaki, Ashwagandha, Shatavari, etc should be included in the medication
