Abstract

Osteomyelitis is an inflammation of the bone caused by an infecting organism. The overall incidence of osteomyelits is higher in developing countries. Early and specific treatment and identification of the causative microorganisms are essential in osteomyelitis. Treatments (debridement, incision and drainage) are aimed at suppressing infection and improving vascularity. Inadequate therapy may lead to relapsing infection and progression to chronic infection. Chronic osteomyelitis is curable only with radical resection or amputation.


A substantially high cost of surgical approach, high recurrence, resistance to antibiotics demands to search supportive, effective and safe treatment in Ayurveda. Through it is clear that various modes of Ayurvedic therapy can offer us good supportive treatment protocol.
