Abstract Osteoporosis is a progressive skeletal disorder characterized by reduced bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration, leading to increased bone fragility and susceptibility to fractures. It is a major global health concern, particularly affecting postmenopausal women and the elderly. Despite being asymptomatic in the early stages, the condition often presents with debilitating fractures, impacting mobility, independence, and quality of life. While conventional pharmacological treatments are available, they are often accompanied by adverse effects and may not fully restore bone health. Ayurveda, the traditional Indian system of medicine, offers a comprehensive and individualized approach to the prevention and management of osteoporosis. Descriptions of conditions like Asthikshaya and Asthisaushirya in classical texts align closely with the modern understanding of osteoporosis. Ayurvedic treatment integrates dietary regulation, herbal formulations, Panchakarma therapies, Rasayana (rejuvenation), lifestyle modifications, and supportive practices such as yoga. These approaches aim not only to alleviate symptoms but also to correct underlying imbalances in bodily tissues and metabolic functions, especially Vata dosha and Dhatvagni (tissue metabolism). This paper presents a detailed review of the Ayurvedic perspective on osteoporosis, highlighting both classical and contemporary evidence supporting the efficacy of natural, safe, and holistic interventions. The integrative potential of Ayurveda offers a promising pathway for long-term bone health and regeneration when combined with appropriate diagnostic and monitoring tools from modern medicine.
