Abstract


Ayurvedic scriptures address the treatment of a variety of diseases that are either Nija (endogenous) or Agantuja (induced/exogenous). Diseases caused by Visha (poison), Shastra (weapons), Agni (fire), and other factors fall into the Agantuja group. Ayurveda describes a number of treatments for treating poisoning. The main goal of therapy is to eliminate these poisons or toxins from the body as quickly as possible before they are absorbed. Because it disrupts the balance of Dosha, Dhatu, and Mala in the body after absorption through the blood, it causes a variety of ailments and even death. As a result, one of the most significant therapy aspects is the elimination of unabsorbed toxin. Panchakarma is significant in this scenario because it quickly eliminates toxicity. Panchakarma is beneficial in acute poisoning when the toxin is not absorbed into the body. When toxins are absorbed entirely in the body and retained at a deeper tissue level in chronic poisoning, no other treatment is effective except Panchakarma therapy. These Panchakarma treatments can be performed depending on how poison enters the body, like Nasya is used for poison breathed, and Raktamokshana is used for poison injected into the bloodstream.
