AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT OF BONE FRACTURE IN SMALLER BONES: A SINGLE CASE STUDY

Abstract

Bone fractures or broken bones are most common in day-to-day practice and can affect anyone at any age. It can be seen as a complete or partial break in the bone. The causes of bone fractures include trauma, over-use and diseases or deficiencies that weaken the bone. Commonly, people will go to a modern hospital after a trauma or hurt, in an emergency, or to manage pain. An X-ray investigation can quickly rule out a bone fracture. Depending on the fracture severity or presentation, there are various types of bone fractures: compound, spiral, comminute, transverse, etc. In our holistic science, can easily manage simple fractures in our OPDs. I got one patient came in clinic on October 2023 with trauma from a Road Traffic Accident. It was a slight fall from the bike on his own, and he was not that much bleeding or injured, but the right-hand ring finger started swelling with pain. As his sister is an Ayurveda medical student and the patient is having belief in Ayurveda, he came to OPD for the management. He consulted a modern hospital, took an X-ray; diagnosed it as a fracture, and he came to us. I managed the case of a simple fracture with Ayurveda medicines.
