Abstract

The foundation of Ayurveda is based on 8 branches and in those one of the divisions is Agada Tantra or Visha Tantra. Visha Tantra means- "Vishopashamanee Tu Ya Saa Kriya".[1] So, it is the science dealing with anti-poisonous measures. We come across 24 such measures,[2] among them Aushadha / Dravya are having greater importance in the treatment of Visha. While explaining certain Dravyas we come across the terminologies such as Vishanut,[3] Vishapaham, Vishanashana, Vishajit etc. to explain their Vishaghna properties. Vishanut refers to "Visham Nudati Doorikaroti" (shabda chandrika) - that which pacify Vishokta Laxanas. Here, we are concentrating only on Vishanut Dravyas according to Bhavaprakasha Nighantu.
