Abstract
Osteoporosis, a major global health problem of ageing population is most commonly present with complications like pathological fractures of bone. Hence to avoid complication as bhagna, the option is to stop degenerative pathology. Modern science use oral calcium supplementation, which may lead to calculus formation. Hence the aim of therapy of osteoporosis should be to stop degenerative changes without complications. This can be achieved by working with principles of ayurveda. Osteoporosis in which bones become brittle and weak can be co-related with asthisoushirya i.e Asthimajjadhatukshaya.
Acharya Charaka advised to treat asthimajjadhatukshaya by kshir, ghrita, basti and tikta dravyas.1
Vagbhata has also treated asthishula with kshir, ghrita and tiktabasti.2Panchatiktaghritguggulu is described in Bhaishajyaratnavali for asthimajjagata vata in kushtha chikitsa prakarana which gives idea about similar opinion regarding tiktarasa in the management of asthimajjadhatu.3
Therefore the aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of panchatiktakshirbasti and Panchatiktaghritguggulu in asthisoushirya (osteoporosis). 30 patients of Asthimajjadhatukshaya were treated with panchatiktakshirbasti and Panchatiktaghritguggulu orally. The results were observed on various parameters like pain, tenderness, stiffiness, dosh-dhatu lakshanas. After the study the results were statistically analyzed. Patients treated with panchatiktakshirbasti and Panchatiktaghritguggulu showed improvement in symptoms of asthimajjadhatukshaya without any side effect. So we can conclude that treatment with panchatiktakshirbasti and panchatiktaghritguggulu gives speedy recovery by its action on vatavriddhi and asthimajjadhatukshaya.
