Abstract

Agada Tantra one of the Ashtang’s of Ayurveda mentions in detail the concept of Garavisha and Dooshivisha, which are comparable with various sources of exposure of toxins through our daily life activities. People are least aware of toxins they are exposing in day to day life. This increases the risk of disorders like cancer, stroke, heart attack, skin ailments etc. Ayurveda gives a vast view on this topic by explaining definition, symptoms, mode of administration and treatment for conditions caused by these toxic exposures.
