Abstract

In current scenario, most of the diseases are caused due to unconventional etiology. For this unconventional etiology Agad Tantra focuses on Viruddha Ahara (Incompatible diet), Gara Visha (Concocted poison) and Dooshi Visha (Denatured /Latent poison) while  Modern science focuses on oxidative stress caused by toxicants/chemicals. Oxidative stress can be correlated with the concept of Viruddha Ahara, Gara Visha and Dooshi Visha. When a disease is caused by unconventional etiology, it can be managed effectively by using principles of Agad Tantra.  Anti toxic formulations mentioned in Ayurveda which include single antitoxic herb, combination of anti-toxic herbs, herbs-minerals combinations etc. can be very useful in such diseased conditions. Most of the diseases in current today’s era need Nirvishikarana (Detoxification).
