Osteoporosis is characterized by reduction in bone density whenever rate of re-absorption of calcium exceeds bone formation. This condition causes bones to become porous, which in turn becomes weak and brittle increasing the risk of fractures. In osteoporosis the bone mineral density (BMD) is reduced, bone micro architecture is deteriorating, and the amount and variety of proteins in bone is altered.
Bones are made up of protein, collagen and calcium which help to keep them strong and healthy. As you get older, bone formation shifts and bone strength is gradually lost. When there are low levels of calcium, phosphorous and other minerals, bones weaken and osteoporosis develops. A mild form of osteoporosis is called osteopenia – when bones are structurally weaker and less dense. Osteoporosis fractures often affect the spine, hip or wrist.
The disease condition with similar clinical manifestation is Asthikshya/ asthisaushirya in Ayurvedic classics. At Vedanta Ayurveda some documented herbs that mentioned to improve the bone strength, Medo& Asthi- dhatu- agni are studied &personalized ayurveda based herbal extracts formulation based on nature of disease ,constitution type & agni bala of the person is prepared & effects of the same could be observed after three months of curse on improvement in BMD.
