ABSTRACT

Introduction: The constituents of the body are divided into three categories by Acharya’s i.e., Dosha, Dhatu, and Mala. These three entities are governing the maintaining the body's structural and functional integrity. Dhatus, among these fundamental components, are specifically designed for Sharira's Dharana and Poshana. Arogya is produced when these Dhatus are in their equilibrium condition, but Vikara is produced when they are out of balance. Asthi Dhatu is generated as Poshaka (unstable) Meda Dhatu in the physical body, which flows into the Purisha Dhara Kala and is digested by the Asthiagni. Teeth are created during this phase, Hair and nails are the waste products (Malas) of this metabolic process. Methodology All the data related to Asthikshaya and osteoporosis collected from authentic Sources like Authentic Websites (like PubMed, J-aim etc.), authentic literatures etc. Discussion As Dhatu is vitiated by numerous Doshas, the Asthi Dhatu is vitiated as well, e.g., Asthi Pradosaja Vikara, Asthi Kshaya, and so on. Bhagna also occurs as a result of severe form of Asthi's Kshaya (Osteoporosis) injuries. As a result, the Asthi develops degenerative and traumatic deformities. Asthi has been expanded on the basis of clinical relevance since ancient times. Conclusion Various clinical problems linked to Asthi Dhatu and its Upadhatu, as well as their treatment, are spread throughout the Samhita and need to be collected in order to offer a glimpse of Ayurveda's comprehensive expertise on this subject. Keywords: Asthi Dhatu, Asthi's Kshaya, Osteoporosis, Poshaka, Dosha, Dhatus etc.
