COMPARATIVE CLINICAL STUDY TO EVALUATE THE EFFICACY OF PANCHATIKTA KSHEERA BASTI WITH AND WITHOUT SHAMANOUSHADHI IN ASTHIKSHAYA W.S.R. TO OSTEOPOROSIS.

This project entitled “COMPARATIVE CLINICAL STUDY TO EVALUATE THE EFFICACY OF PANCHATIKTA KSHEERA BASTI WITH AND WITHOUT SHAMANOUSHADHI IN ASTHIKSHAYA W.S.R. TO OSTEOPOROSIS†is aimed to prove the effectiveness of Panchatikta ksheerabasti in osteoporosis with the objective criterias like BMD and vit D3.

 According to commentator Arunadatta the substance having Snigdha and shoshana properties and produces kharatwa will be responsible for Asti vardhana as Asti is also khara by nature. But no substance is available that has both snigdha and shoshsna properties. So ksheera and grita which are snigdha in nature are advised to be used with the substances which are tikta and possess shoshana property. Hence it can be said that Tikta ksheera basti has ability to repair degeneration of bones and cartilage.

          When Shodhana therapy is followed by the shamanoushadhi it will be having additive effect. Kukkutanda twak bhasma as a natural supplement of calcium along with guduchi satva which is having tikta rara and anti arthritic property and arjuna churna which is having action on astidhatu are taken in combination and given with grita as anupana is useful in treating osteoporosis.
