6. BRIEF RESUME OF THE INTENDED WORK

6.1 NEED FOR THE STUDY:

         Ayurveda explains Shareera as the composition of dosha, dhatu, and mala ¹. These entities are responsible for proper functioning of the body, their poshana is done by Aahara Rasa after its paka by Jatharagni. Dhatu poshana is influenced by the function of respective Dhatvagni. The samasthiti of these entities is considered as Aarogya and imbalance in them as Vyadhi ².

       Among many factors that contribute to vaishamyata in dosha; kala and swabhava³ are the one which can’t be controlled but have to be experienced by every being. In accordance with that, the shareerika changes that a woman undergoes during puberty, reproductive, menopausal and postmenopausal phase has an impact on manas as well and all this makes her more vulnerable towards different vyadhi utpatti. Among all these, postmenopausal changes in shareera is a more evident and challenging problem that most women face in today’s time.

      Rajonivritti is a condition that can be considered under Swabhavika avastha attained due to kala and swabhava. It’s made up of two words ’Rajah’ and ’Nivritti’ which means cessation of Arthava pravritti. Various symptoms can be seen in this phase due to imbalance of Tridoshas. One of the major symptoms seen due to Vata vaishamyata and its effects on Asthi dhatu due to ashraya and ashrayi sambhanda⁴, are such as: Asthi toda, asthi soushirya, parva-bheda, kesha patana, shrama, tamodarshana, etc which are told in the lakshanas of asthi-majja kshaya. These symptoms are similar to a condition called ’Osteoporosis’.

      Osteoporosis is a disease that is characterised by low bone mass, deterioration of bone tissue, and disruption of bone microarchitecture: it can lead to compromised bone strength and an increase in the risk of fractures. It is more prevalent among postmenopausal women⁵. It also occurs in men and women with underlying conditions or major risk factors associated with bone demineralization. According to statistics given by the World Health Organization (WHO), 30% of postmenopausal women suffer from osteoporosis. It has been reported that 61 million people in India have osteoporosis and, out of these, 80% are women⁶.

   Osteoporosis in postmenopausal women can have wide-ranging effects on individuals and society, including physical, emotional, economic, and health care-related impacts. Recognizing the importance of prevention, early detection, and effective management of osteoporosis is crucial to mitigate these effects and improve the overall well-being of postmenopausal women in society. Thus, it is of prime importance to manage in the initial stage rather than leaving it to attain chronic state. As precisely said in our classics -’swasthasya swasthya rakshanam’ ⁷.

   In Ayurveda, Basti is considered as ardha chikitsa⁸ by our Acharyas due to its effectiveness in correction of vitiated doshas. The principle of management of Asthi kshaya is said to be tikta, ghrita samyukta ksheera basti ^9,10. Therefore, Guduchi sadhita ksheera basti is chosen in the present study. The Anubhuta yoga (Ashwagandha¹¹, Amalaki¹², Asthi Shrinkhala¹³, Eranda¹⁴, Guggulu¹⁵,Yastimadhu¹⁶) given after basti may act as bone strengthening, pain relieving and Rasayana.

   Contemporary medicine offers a range of medications for osteoporosis, which are known to cause many side effects and carry potential risks. Studying Guduchi Sadhita Ksheera Basti and Anubhuta yoga treatment in postmenopausal osteoporosis is essential to assess its efficacy, safety, and potential benefits, ultimately contributing to improved patient care and treatment options. So, the present study titled “A Clinical Study to assess the effect of Guduchi Sadhita Ksheera Basti and Anubhuta yoga in the management of Asthi-Majja Kshaya w.s.r to Postmenopausal Osteoporosis” has been undertaken".
