How does Ayurveda support the functions of the skeleton? - #16690
Since the past year, I’ve been experiencing strange issues with my bones and joints. It started with mild stiffness in the morning, especially in my knees and back, but I didn’t think much of it. Then, I began feeling more discomfort even while sitting for too long or after light physical activity. My bones feel weaker, and sometimes there’s a slight cracking sound when I move. A recent blood test showed that my vitamin D and calcium levels are low, and the doctor said it’s affecting the functions of the skeleton. I never really thought about how important the functions of the skeleton are until I started facing these problems. The doctor explained that the skeleton not only supports the body but also protects internal organs, produces blood cells, and even helps store minerals. If the bones weaken, all these functions start getting affected. I was advised to take calcium and vitamin D supplements, but I’m not too comfortable with long-term dependence on tablets. I’ve been looking into Ayurveda because I want to strengthen my bones naturally. I’ve read that Ayurveda has herbs and remedies that help improve the functions of the skeleton by increasing bone density and maintaining joint flexibility. Are there specific Ayurvedic medicines or oils that can help with bone weakness? What kind of diet is recommended in Ayurveda to maintain strong bones and support the functions of the skeleton? Also, are there any specific lifestyle changes or exercises that Ayurveda suggests for better bone health? If anyone has tried Ayurveda for bone-related issues, please share your experience. Can it actually help reverse bone weakness, or is it only useful for managing symptoms? I really want to avoid major skeletal problems as I get older.
