Ayurveda’s Approach to Healing Fracture management
- External splinting (bhagna bandhana) stabilizes the bone.
- Herbs like lakṣā, aśvagandhā, and guggulu rebuild tissue.
- Taila basti and medicated massage reduce vāta and pain.
- Calcium-rich diet, sesame, jaggery, milk, supports asthi dhātu.
- Rasāyana therapy restores strength and prevents future fragility.
