Ayurvedic Treatment of Osteoporosis
What is Osteoporosis and its Causes?
Osteoporosis is a severe bone disease that occurs when the body loses too much bone mass or produces too little bone. The primary reason for bone loss is calcium deficiency. Osteoporosis, also known as “porous bone,” when viewed under a microscope, resembles a honeycomb structure. These bones have reduced density, making them more susceptible to fractures.
Causes of Osteoporosis
Various health problems weaken the immune system, leading to calcium degradation and subsequent bone loss. Osteoporosis is particularly common in postmenopausal women due to decreased estrogen production, which weakens the skeleton.

Osteoporosis and Steroid Medicines
Long-term use of steroid medications can lead to osteoporosis. Medications such as glucocorticoids, steroids, and corticosteroids are commonly prescribed for conditions like rheumatoid arthritis and Cushing’s syndrome. However, prolonged use of these medicines weakens bones over time.
Osteoporosis Prevention
Preventing osteoporosis involves a combination of a healthy diet and lifestyle modifications. Some key preventive measures include:
Diet and Nutrition
Consuming foods rich in calcium and vitamin D to strengthen bones.
Including dairy products, green leafy vegetables, and nuts in the diet.
Taking vitamin D supplements when necessary.
Exercise and Physical Activity
Engaging in weight-bearing exercises like walking and jogging.
Practicing yoga and strength training to improve bone health.
Osteoporosis and Ayurveda
Osteoporosis leads to bone thinning, making fractures more likely. Ayurveda offers effective treatment through herbal remedies that increase calcium levels and enhance bone density.

Osteoporosis and Medical Astrology
