According to u201cCharak Samhitau201d (an ancient Ayurveda text) Ayurveda has two main objectives: 1st is u2018swasthasya swasthya rakshanamu201d i.e. to help the healthy person to protect & maintain his swasthya (wellness). 2nd is u201caaturasya vikar prashamanamu201d i.e., to help a diseased person to become healthy & to stay healthy forever. Though every system in our body is equally important. However, there is day to day wear and tears happening in our bones and joint and after the mid to late life say after 40 or 50 yrs of age majority of us suffer from bone and joint related health issues, which may be due to wear and tear, inflammation, pain etc. All these may hamper our mobilty, therefore to keep them healthy is absolutely necessary to reamin active. We need to take balanced diet to have appropriate nutrition with minerals and vitamins etc., especially calcium for optimum bone and joint health. Regular exercise, be it walking, jogging and running helps keeping our Bone and Joint healthy. Yoga and meditation which are traditionally known for their health benefits are now scientifically proven for their health promoting actions including Bone, Joint, Muscles and Cartilages. Many medicinal herbs mentioned in Ayurveda are traditionally used to keep us healthy by supporting Bone, Joints, Cartilages and Muscles. Many of these are scientifically studied for their protective and curative role in various Bone and Joint and overall Musculoskeletal functions, especially through their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory actions, e.g., Guggul is studies for their role in Bone mineralization, Hadjod for Cartilage regeneration, Shallaki for its anti-inflammatory and pain relieving actions, Laksha for healing, Shankh for natural source of Calcium and Yashad for natural source of Zinc. There are many Ayurveda / Herbal / health supplement products available in market which may be used for our overall health by supporting Vital Organs. However, we need to be cautious, whatever product we use for our overall health, that should be a qualitative product. The herbs being coming from natural sources, wild or cultivated; these may be having microbes, pesticides, heavy metals etc; therefore, the processing of these herbs or quality check of the products derived from these herbs is very critical. One such qualitative and scientific product in Indian market is AyuOrtho Tablets which is a tested Ayurveda herbal product for Microbes, Pesticides and Heavy metals etc. AyuOrthi contains extracts of Guggul, Hadjod, Shallaki, Laksha, Shankh and Yashad, which are specially chosen for their beneficial role on our Bone and Joint health.
