severe osteoporosis (Spine T-score -4.1). Since she already had a fracture and is on Fosamax, she should continue her doctor’s treatment. Lakshadi Guggulu Best for bone healing & strengthening 500 mg–1 g twice daily with warm milk (or almond milk) Asthi Shrinkhala Improves bone density & fracture recovery 500 mg twice daily after food Ashwagandha Improves bone formation & strength 500 mg at night with warm milk Praval Pishti or Mukta Shukti (natural calcium source) 250 mg twice daily after meals Diet Since she is vegan/vegetarian long-term Sesame seeds (til) daily Ragi (finger millet) Almonds (soaked) Drumstick leaves Sunlight exposure 20 minutes daily (Vitamin D) Gentle weight-bearing exercise (walking) Avoid excessive fasting
