*Dr. Vikas Jain
ABSTRACT
The Ayurvedic medical system is the oldest and has a wealth of information on therapeutic procedures. All Acharyas in Ayurveda uses the term "Krimi," and the majority of them discussed its classification, causes, symptoms, and treatments. Ayurvedic doctors were well-versed in the terms Krimis and Krimirogas. The term "Krimi" is used broadly in modern science to refer to all worms and microbes. The idea of Krimi is not new; its description dates back to the Vedic era. Bahya and Abhyantara krimis are the two groups into which Krimis are divided.
