The Ayurveda Experience February 07, 2016

Modern View:Bone loss occurs without symptoms.

• First sign may be a fracture due to weakened bones
• A sudden strain or bump can break a bone

Ayurvedic View: It is a peculiarity of Ayurveda that we can make early diagnosis and, this also means that we can gain maximum time to prevent further pathology.

• Local pain in Bones
• Lightness of bone
• Fall of teeth, nails and hairs

Let us consider some pre-symptoms:

1. Lightness of bones
2. Any symptoms of tooth that indicates degenerative changes like breakdown of teeth,
   sensitivity, cracked bones, knocked-out teeth in early age, etc

4. Changing shape of nails, reduced shining of nails, cracking of nails, etc
5. Reduced growth of tooth, hair & nails
