Abstract Abstract:
Asthikshaya not indicate that any bone disappears from the body, but the bone is losing its strength. In Ayurvedic classical texts the causative factors as well as the symptoms and treatment all has been mentioned. Asthikshaya is very much like the Osteoporosis which also indicates the loss of bones mass. Osteoporosis was once thought to be an unavoidable part of aging for which there was no treatment; but, in more recent times, it has come to be recognized as a condition that it may be managed and prevented. Selecting a treatment plan based on the latest research on the etiology of the numerous types of osteoporosis and the diagnostic spectrum associated with them is quite important. Therapeutic medications can be useful in slowing down excessive bone turnover to a physiological level when osteoporosis is impending or manifest during periods of fast bone loss, typically at the start of postmenopausal but also in older individuals. To lessen or even eliminate the chance of developing new fractures, the optimal treatment for established osteoporosis should promote bone growth, enhance bone mass, and address architectural abnormalities. Increasing cortical bone mass and stimulating periosteal bone growth are especially helpful in cases of increasing brittleness. Since vitamin D is essential for the body's metabolism of calcium as well as phosphate, it plays a major role in the pathophysiology of osteoporosis. The potential for drug-assisted osteoporosis treatment lies in several avenues. These include refining current approaches through novel applications, introducing interval therapies, altering daily dosages, and achieving synergistic benefits through appropriate drug combinations. Thus, starting the therapy with vitamin D supplements will accelerate the process of building bone mass and decrease the rate at which bone is reabsorbed.
