EFFECT OF ASTHISHRUNKHALA GRANULES IN LOW BONE MINERAL DEN-SITY IN POSTMENOPAUSAL WOMEN – A CASE REPORT

Osteoporosis is a multifactorial and slowly emerging global health problem. The decrease in plasma sex steroid levels during the menopause transition leads to a series of changes that affect body composition and Bone Mineral Density (BMD). In this period, BMD progressively decreases with an accelerated decline in density over the early postmenopausal years. Skeletal health is essential to maintaining quality of life, as it is known that qualitative bone helps to prevent untoward bone fractures. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Asthishrunkhala granules on low bone mineral density in postmenopausal women.
