Doctors' responses
The management of osteoporosis in the spine through Ayurveda is a holistic approach that focuses on balancing the body and strengthening the bones. Since you already enjoy activities like yoga and weight training, which are supportive for bone health, integrating Ayurvedic practices can further aid in managing osteoporosis.
First, let’s address diet. Incorporating calcium-rich foods while balancing Vata dosha is essential. Dahi (yoghurt) is a great choice; its calcium content is beneficial, but ensure it’s consumed during the day and best if it’s not cold to avoid aggravating Vata. Including sesame seeds, almonds, and figs can provide additional calcium; consider making a sesame seed paste mixed with a touch of honey as a post-lunch treat.
Incorporate herbs known for their bone-strengthening properties like Ashwagandha and Shatavari. These herbs can be taken in powdered form, about 1/2 teaspoon mixed with warm milk, before bed. Ayurvedic formulations such as Lakshadi Guggulu might support, but consult a nearby Ayurvedic physician for a tailored recommendation.
Your mention of yoga is excellent. Focus on postures that enhance spinal strength and flexibility, like Tadasana (Mountain Pose) and Bhujangasana (Cobra Pose). Ensure alignment and avoid any movements that strain the spine; consistency is key to seeing long-term benefits.
Your weight training complements yoga; aim for resistance training exercises focusing on muscle groups that support spine and posture.
Don’t neglect Ayurveda’s emphasis on digestion. Maintain a balanced Agni by avoiding very oily, processed, or excessively heavy foods. Sipping warm water throughout the day can aid digestion and help flush toxins.
It’s wise to continue routine check-ups with your healthcare provider to monitor bone density levels alongside these practices.
