ABSTRACT

The bone that does Dharan of the body serves as the primary support for the human body. These bones are attached to one another by a variety of joints, which allows them to hold the body in the right position. Only the joints allow the body to move, therefore understanding the Sandhi's structure and function is crucial for a better understanding of the Sandhi. The concept of Sandhi is presented in several Ayurvedic Samhita in Ayurveda.The definition of Sandhi in grammatical literature is described as the union, to unite, or meeting place of two or more structures with respect to this According to Acharya Sushruta, only Asthi Sandhi should follow the same terminology, even if there are many Sandhi in our bodies that cannot be enumerated.[5] The embryology, Sandhi Sankhya, and Pitruja Bhava of Sandhi are presented on a broad level. Although Marma Jala Sanghata and Sandhi are connected, only Asthi Sandhi has been taken into account in Ayurveda. The shape and movement of the joint have mostly been used to classify the Sandhi. Functionally, there are two types of Sandhis: Chestavanta and Sthira. Whereas a joint disorder is known as an Arthropathy, and it is known as arthritis when one or more joints are inflamed. Arthritis is a common component of joint illnesses, however injury to joints from external physical stress is often not classified as arthritis. When multiple joints are involved, an arthropathy is referred to as polyarticular (multiarticular), and when just one joint is, it is referred to as monoarticular.
