A Randomized Open- Labelled Controlled Clinical Study to Evaluate the Efficacy of Asthisamahaaraadi Churna in Asthi Kshaya w.s.r Osteopenia and Osteoporosis of Perimenopause

Abstract

Background: Osteopenia and osteoporosis, increasingly recognized as lifestyle-related disorders, have risen significantly among perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. In Ayurveda, these conditions correspond to Asthi Kshaya, characterized by the progressive loss of bone density due to hormonal imbalances, dietary deficiencies, sedentary lifestyles, and ageing. Asthi Kshaya involves skeletal weakening, increased fracture risk, and impaired joint function.
Aim: Study to ascertain if Asthisamahaaraadi Churna has a better effect in the management of Asthi Kshaya w.s.r. Osteopenia and Osteoporosis in perimenopause.
Materials and Methods: Thirty subjects were randomly divided into two groups of 15. Group A received oral Asthisamhaaraadi Churna, while Group B was given calcium and vitamin D supplementation for 3 months. Subjective parameters were assessed at baseline and post-treatment.
Results: Asthisamhaaraadi Churna was found to be effective in all subjective and objective parameters.
Conclusion: Asthisamhaaraadi Churna was an equally effective alternative to calcium and vitamin D supplements for managing Asthi kshaya symptoms.
