Ayurveda Approach
According to Ayurveda, “DHATU KSHAYA” is correlated to osteoporosis. Three physical energies, Vata, Pitta and Kapha decide individual’s body nature and accordingly diet and life style is recommended. These are the basics of human body either to stay healthy or diseased.
According to Ayurveda, osteoporosis is due to vitiation of Vata dosha. Improper dietary and life style habits cause vitiation of Vata and production of Ama or toxic material in body. Vata goes out of control due to over consumption of dry, cool, stale, light and gas forming foods, with long gap of meals and having very less meal. This leads to impaired digestion and obstruction of body channels causing symptoms like pain, weakness and tenderness of joints. Also deficiency of calcium plays very important role in osteoporosis. Ayurvedic treatment for bone health is really effective and result giving. There are wonderful herbal medicines in the market for all kind of bone health issues like osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, calcium deficiency etc.
