ABSTRACT
A condition known as Asthikshaya affects the Asthi dhatu and is brought on by vitiated Vata dosha or Srotorodha. People with characteristics of Asthikshaya are falling of hairs, nails, hairs of beard including mustaches and teeth, exertion and looseness of joints, pricking sensation in bones. Osteoporosis is the condition that bears the most likeness to this in allopathy medical science. It can be defined as a systemic skeletal disease characterized by low bone density and increase in bone fragility which leads to higher susceptibility to senile fractures. This sickness is becoming more common every day, and conventional sciences are only partially effective in treating it. The best treatment for vata dosha, according to ayurvedic science, is basti. Therefore, an effort has been made to compile all the greatest basti kalpana therapeutic references, with a focus on asthikshaya or osteoporosis. To choose an appropriate course of treatment, every problem must be detected early and sensitively. On the basis of many biomarkers for osteoporosis or asthikshaya, there are numerous diagnostic methods available. The objective of the current review study is also to compile several asthikshaya-related biomarkers in one place.
Key words: Asthikshaya, osteoporosis, biomarkers, vata, basti.
