ABSTRACT

Ayurved gives more importance to promotion of health & prevention of disease rather than disease and cure. In modern era, the advantage of modern hi-tech life has some hidden disadvantages as well, thousands of harmful toxins are increasing in atmosphere and taken by the human beings themselves. Our Acharyas has defined dushivisha as sthavara, jangamavisha or kritrimvisha after its treatment, when it becomes less potent and when its effects are not nullified radically because of which it resides in the body for years, that particular less potent part of the above said poisons is called Dushivisha. Dushi visha vitiates the Dhatus after the laps of long time on obtaining a favorable condition. Acharyas further mentioned causative factors favorable for dushivisha, its signs, symptoms and treatments. This is the basic consideration in Dushivisha. It is existed since ancient times need to be explained, supplemented and narrated for proper understanding and treatment in this modern era that is why an attempt was made to evaluate the texts which directly reveals the concept of dushivisha and its correlation with modern science.
