CLASSICAL AND CONTEMPORARY ASPECTS OF GARA VISHA AND ITS TREATMENT
Vd. Bharati Patil Bagade* and Vd. Ashwini R. Metangale
ABSTRACT
In Ayurveda garavisha is one of the important concept and is considered as one of the form of kritrim visha which gets formed by the combination of two or more that two poisonous and non-poisonous drugs. This results in vitiating all the dhatus that ultimately affects the whole body. Detailed explanation about gara visha, its definition, mode of administration, its sign and symptoms and treatment has been described in samhitas. Gara visha is nothing but samyogaj visha that means when two compounds react with each other and it may form toxin which leads to food poisoning. This study aims to establish that garavisha is equally important as sthavar and jangam visha in causing toxic symptoms due to its uses in society and its effective management in Ayurveda.
