 Susruta emphasizes that the unctuous fraction of the essence food helps increase of fat (medas) due to activities and diet increasing kapha. This leads to obstruction of pathway (srotas) limiting the formation of other tissues, instead fat gets accumulated. Here the tissue fires (dhaatvagnis) become deficient in selective absorption. The abdominal fire (jatharaagni) becomes hyperactive due to vitiated vaata as the sequence of obstruction of pathways and increase of fat. This facilitates excess intake of food and subsequent increase of kapha and medas. [S. Soo. 14. 32 & C.Soo.21/6]

Ayurveda states that this sequence results in functional impairment of selective enzymes (agnis) located elsewhere in the system inhibiting certain pathways and impairing conversion of tissue principles. Here some of the pathways get more activated and others get deficient in transforming and transporting the nutrients to selected receptors. We have yet to find out the objective reasoning behind this mechanism.

Leptin produced by adipose tissue and Ghrilin produced by the stomach have to be considered in this regard. Increased secretion of Leptin may also contribute to macrophage accumulation by increased stimulation of transportation of macrophages to adipose tissue in obesity. The oxidative damage resulting from increasingly lipolytic environment also plays a role in macrophage recruitment which according to Ayurveda could be the triggering mechanism in the patho-physiology in diabetes (prameha) where increasingly lipolytic product (kleda) is formed in the system. Ayurveda states that kapha looses its consistency due to its interaction with pitta (enzymes) under the influence of vaata (neurological factor) and there by resulting in the formation of lipolytic product (kleda) which subsequently Here affect the other tissues leading to patho-physiological changes. The treatment principle should be that which regulates the CNS (vaata), enzymes (agnis), and reduces the fat molecules (unctuous – snigdha – fractions). Here nourishing (guru) as well as leaning (apatarpana) are equally important and the formulations on this basis will be highly desired.

Management of Obesity

• Avoidance of food and activities that increase kapha.

• Remove the obstruction of the pathway.

• Purification of channels.

• Dehydrating (rookshana) / abrading (chedana) procedures.

• Abrasive enema (lekhana vasti – Ooshakaadi)

• Dry (non-unctuous) fomentation (Rooksha-svedam)

• Buttermilk irrigation (Takra-dhaaraa)

• Acetic irrigation (Kaati-dhaaraa)

• Coating of paste (Aalepanam)

Diet for Obesity

Diet is recommended to be heavy and reductive. Items such as barley (yava), green gram (mudga), millets like kodo millet (koradooshaka), little millet (syaamaaka), uddaalaka, honey (madhu) etc may be used.

The factors that are the causes of osteoporosis development:  

In our culture many factors combine to cause the slow and silent onset of bone loss. In early stages it is usually asymptomatic called osteopaenia. Over time, a rate of approximately 1% per year beginning at about age 30 and approximately 2% per year during perimenopause and menopause, women’s bones become increasingly porous, brittle and subject to fracture.  

osteoporosis hip fracture

 Estrogen is important in maintaining bone density in women. When estrogen levels drop after menopause, loss of bone density accelerates. Actually only 15% of total body bone mass on average is lost due to estrogen related factor. Roughly another 15% of the total average life time bone loss of about 30% is due to other factors.  

Some of other factors are vaata body type, smoking, sedentary life style, history of amenorrhea associated with excessive exercise and/ or anorexia nervosa, drinking more than 25gm alcohol per day, over stressed liver, drinking more than 2 units of caffeine per day, clinically depressed, poor diet that are low in calcium, Vitamin D deficiency, premature menopause, regular use of steroid drugs, anticonvulsant medication, thyroid disorder.  

Methods of Preventing Osteoporosis  

The goal to prevent osteoporosis is to reduce bone loss by perfectly maintaining bone density and strength. Bone loss is a vaata disorder, so vaata pacifying diet and life style is helpful including oil therapy (sesame oil). Follow a vaata, pitta, kapha pacifying regime. Eliminate alcohol, smoking, carbonated drinks, white sugar, table salt, phosphate diuretic and antacid containing aluminum, all of which leach calcium from bones. Eat phytoestrogen daily and adequate intake of minerals through diet. Engage in regular weight bearing exercises and spent time in sun light to product adequate levels of Vitamin D. Engage in stress reduction technique like meditation, yoga, praanaayaama regularly.  

Osteoporosis Diet  
Adequate nutrition plays a major role in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis. An inadequate intake of either calcium, vitamin D, or both will influence calcium-regulating hormones. A deficiency of either calcium or vitamin D will result in reduced calcium absorption and a lower concentration of circulating ionized calcium. Take a meal that are rich in Calcium and Vitamin D. Foods that are high in calcium include milk, yogurt, cheese, tofu, sesame seed, soy, almond, broccoli, sea weed, and dark green leafy vegetables. The digestion of proteins produces acids which are buffered with calcium. Thus foods rich in protein but low in calcium (such as meat) result in calcium loss from the bones. As a result vegetarian needs less calcium than meat eaters. The current recommended daily allowance for calcium intake in post menopausal women is 1500mg per day.
The blow mentioned charts provides the recommended intake of Calcium and Vitamin D with the changes of age.

Age (y)           Calcium (mg)          Vitamin D (IU)
________________________________________
3–8                 800                            200
9–17               1300                           200
18–50             1000                           400
51–70             1200                           400
>70                1200                           600

Herbs for Osteoporosis  

Key herbs include pravaala pishti, hareetakee (T. Chebula), soy, nordostachys jataamaamsi (jataamaamsi), valerian, Centella asiatica (brahmi), aswagandha, sataavaree, st.john’s wort (Hypericum perforatum), Ocimum sanctum (tulsi), sandal wood (Santalum album), Eclipta alba (bhrngraaj), Convolvulus pluricaulis (sankh pushpi), balaa, sesame oil. A study shows that with the use of Acorous calamus (vacaa), asvagandha, jataamaamsi and ulat kambal (Abroma augusta) psychological symptoms i.e. anxiety and irritability were relieved.

Osteoporotic fracture associated medical system cost is very high. For each hip fracture medical cost is around $40,000. Moreover approximately 20% of those who experience a hip fracture will die in the year following the fracture and one-third patients regain their pre-fracture level of function. So osteoporosis should be an important public health issue.

According to ayurveda human body consists of three primary life forces or bio-energies called as tri-doshas that control the activities of the body. These doshas are

1. Vata
2. Pitta
3. Kapha

Vata –(space and air) The air upholds the constituents of the body and their courses through the body. It causes all the senses to perform their functions. The movements of body fluid, metabolism, elimination of waste products, semen ejaculation, relaying stimulus to brain and response to organs and tissues, heartbeat, respiration, body movements etc are assisted by VATA. This type of body tends to be thin, with a slender frame and pronounced joints, has dry skin, hair, and lips, quick speech, is flexible to change, creative and imaginative, exhibits mood swings, are attracted to warm climates, can be easily excited sexually.

Pitta –(fire and water) It is digestive fire which transforms food into its useful components through the secretions like digestive juices pigments for absorption and assimilation into the body. It plays a major role in body’s metabolic activities. Pitta Type body has good focus and concentration, is well organized, competitive, self–confident, sexually energetic with more endurance than Vatas, usually light complected and sometimes freckled, are attracted to cooler climates, tends to perspire a lot.

Kapha –(water and earth) It governs structure and fluid balance in the body. It controls weight, growth, lubrication for the joints and lungs, fertility, stability, strength, memory retention and formation of tissues. Kapha type has strong build and excellent stamina, tends to be overweight, slow in learning but has great long term memory, slow to arouse sexually but possesses endurance, has a strong immune system and good health, does not anger easily, does not like cold, damp climates.

Natural Body Resistance

When these doshas are in balanced condition the body remains healthy. Any imbalance among the tridoshas succumbs to diseases. Our modern life style, diet, seasons and externals factors imbalances the tridoshas. Food is the main source of bio-energy.  Human should eat according their digestive capacity. Any indigestible or heavy food produces toxins internally. These accumulated toxins if not exited from the body, affect other organs functionality. Body cells are continuously fighting against aging process. If the body toxin level crosses certain level, it accelerates the aging process and deteriorates the body.

It is required that we bring back normalcy to the balance of these doshas, and expel the toxin produced during the imbalanced condition. There are many treatments for throwing out accumulated toxins from the human body. Ayurvedic panchakarma treatment also called as “Body Detoxification” is a therapy that expels the toxins. Panchakarma treatment therapy varies for different organs of  the body. Also special diet is recommended to enhence the treatment process. Globally there are many numbers of ayurvedic treatment center that undertake panchakarma and other ayurvedic therapy to heal the body with help of nature.  

If we properly follow the rule of daily life there will not be any imbalance in doshas. Hence the body will be strong immune enough to fight against external viruses that freely moving in the air. Human body is like a land for the growth of germ, when it is fertile they can grow very easily. A weak and toxic body is always more prone to virus attack. The condition of human body depends on the various internal and external factors that include land nature, atmosphere, and temperature. During some seasons like rainy and winter seasons in the year viruses become more active. The best way to make human body immune to virus is make it resistive and infertile for viruses. Unlike other medical science ayurveda helps to diagnose the root cause of the problem and strengthen the body systems. Although a slow process, various ayurvedic herbs help to build up body resistance naturally.
