Objectives: 1. To review the effect of foxtail millet in Bone health. 2. To review Asthivikara according to Ayurvedic science. 3. To review about ayurvedic and modern concept of Foxtail Millet and Osteoporosis. Materials and methods: All the research work regarding foxtail millet, Osteoporosis, Bone health, Sandhankarma has been searched from science direct, PUBMED, scholar articles. Various classical text of ayurveda and modern science has been reviewed. Discussion: foxtail millet possesses Madhura (sweet), Astringent (Kashaya) rasa, Guru guna (heavy), ruchya property (increases taste), Sheeta veerya (cold potency), brumhana karma (nourishing), sandhankar (healing) property. It is rich in Vitamin B12, protein, good fat, carbs and dietary fibre content. Besides copious amounts of lysine, thiamine, iron and niacin, it also offers abundant amounts of calcium. Osteoporosis was first considered to be an age-related disorder characterized by low bone mass and increased bone fragility, thereby putting the patient at risk of fractures. Studies have reported an increased risk of developing osteoporosis in patients with various inflammatory conditions. Bound polyphenols of inner shell (BPIS) from foxtail millet bran can display anti-inflammatory effects Conclusion: Foxtail millet diet consumption will help in prevention of osteoclastic activity i.e. bone resorption process and may promote the activity of osteoblastic cells i.e. bone forming cells. It can promote anti-inflammatory effect. But according to Ayurveda, its consumption should be limited to once a day to prevent vitiation of Vata Dosha. So mass awareness and large scale research study is required for significant result.

“…This crop is extensively consumed as a staple food crop (Ramlah et al 2023;Ramlah et al 2020;Samtiya et al 2023) and is produced in arid and semi-arid regions of China, India, Japan, South and North America, Australia, and Indonesia (Prasad, 2017). It is a multipurpose crop known for being genetically closely related to biofuel grasses, for its C4 photosynthesis, and for its excellent tolerance to abiotic stress (Prasad, 2017;Pramitha et al 2023). Known as a drought tolerant crop (Bhinda et al 2022), it responds to low nitrogen and phosphate by reducing and enhancing its root system (Nadeem et al 2020).…”

Foxtail millet (Setaria italica (L.) P. Beauv.) is a cereal crop that has long been domesticated worldwide and has been adopted as a model crop to provide a deeper understanding of plant biology. This plant has long been a mainstay of indigenous Indonesian people, especially in Polewali Mandar, West Sulawesi Province. This study aims to evaluate the genetic variation of foxtail millet germplasm from Polewali Mandar, West Sulawesi based on morphological characters. Three germplasm populations were collected from Polewali Mandar to assess genetic variation in millet germplasm. The observations of morphological traits were carried out based on the IBPGR of Setaria italica. Genetic variation in foxtail millet populations was measured using 28 morphological traits with nine qualitative and 19 quantitative characters. The research showed that seed color, stem diameter, plant height, panicle stalk length, and panicle stalk diameter had diverse variations. Cluster analysis of morphological characters using the UPGMA method shows a similarity coefficient ranging from 0.15-0.2. At a genetic similarity coefficient of 0.2, the three populations were divided into Cluster A and Cluster B. Cluster A consists of two populations (Minna' and Lasse'). In contrast, Cluster B consists of one population (Bulawang). The millet population SLB.C.3-SLB.A.1 has the highest genetic distance and is a potential candidate to be selected as a parent cross to produce higher het-erosis. Intensification of millet plant breeding programs is expected to increase the genetic basis for determining specific characteristics.
