The treatment is multifaceted, aiming to eliminate the infection, support the body's healing mechanisms, and strengthen the bone tissue. It is absolutely crucial to note that osteomyelitis is a serious medical condition. Ayurvedic treatment should be pursued in conjunction with, not as a replacement for, standard medical care (which often involves antibiotics and surgery). Always consult both your medical doctor and a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner. The classical treatment protocol follows a staged approach: 1. Shodhana Chikitsa (Purification/Bio-cleansing Therapies): This is the primary line of treatment to eliminate aggravated doshas and toxins from their source. Snehana (Oleation): Internal and external administration of medicated ghee or oils to loosen toxins. Swedana (Fomentation): Herbal steaming to help move the toxins towards the gastrointestinal tract. Virechana (Purgation Therapy): A highly valued procedure to purge excess Pitta and toxins from the liver and gallbladder through the intestines. This is critical for reducing inflammation and heat in the body. Vasti (Medicated Enema): Especially Asthapana Vasti (decoction enema), is used to pacify the deeply seated Vata dosha, which is responsible for pain and tissue degradation.
