Increased Bone Tissue: Ayurvedic Treatment, Causes & Natural Remedies

When asthi dhatu is increased (asthi vruddhi), there are often thyroid and parathyroid dysfunctions. There is more deposition of calcium on the bone, creating spurs. There may even be deposition of calcium in the soft tissue, such as the lungs or other organs. A person may get an extra tooth, or a wisdom tooth may become twisted. Each tooth is connected to a different organ — for example, the wisdom teeth are connected to the heart, and the canines are connected to the liver and eyes.

Signs of asthi vruddhi include bony protuberances and spurs, osteomas (bone tumors), calcification, lordosis (abnormal convex curve of lumbar spine), kyphosis (hunchback), bone fusion, extra teeth, excessive hair growth, and scoliosis with spinal misalignment.
