Osteoporosis is an ailment that causes calcium to leach out from the bones making them fragile and prone to fracture. It can also cause pain in the joints, spine, lower back and neck areas.
According to Ayurveda, the things contributing towards this condition are-
* Lack of oil in the diet
* Too many raw vegetables.
* Anxiety & insomnia
* Lack of warm milk
* Too much coffee and carbonated drinks
* Constipation and an irregular lifestyle
* Excessive running
* Cold hands & feet- circulation
All these things aggravate the Vata intelligence (responsible for all movement in the body, ie nervous system, blood flow, digestion, oxygen intake). By bring Vata back to balance you can avoid, halt or minimise the progress of this disease.
It may be to your advantage to make the following changes to your diet and lifestyle.
• Include good oil (ghee is the best) in your diet
• Eat mostly warm cooked unprocessed food. Don’t drink while you are eating as it dilutes your digestive enzymes.
• Avoid raw foods, carbonated drinks, and cold food & drinks.
• Include warm, unhomogenised milk, perhaps as a bedtime drink with herbs such as cinnamon, cardamom & turmeric with honey
• Adopt a regular lifestyle- rise early (more oxygen), regular meal times, regular bowel habits
• Avoid hot showers- hot water on your head particularly, upsets your hormonal balance.
• Clean nasal passages, practise deep breathing exercises.
• Either self-massage with warmed oil or get regular Ayurvedic massage to move toxic build-up from your bodily tissues.
• Walk for 20 minutes twice a day.
