Abstract


The diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of poisoning from a variety of sources, such as plants, animals, minerals, and synthetic chemicals, are the main goals of Agad Tantra, a speciality area of Ayurveda. The clinical uses of agad tantra are examined in this article, emphasising its use in contemporary medicine, particularly in the treatment of acute and chronic toxicological disorders. Agads provide a distinctive method of detoxification and toxin control by fusing clinical knowledge, herbal knowledge, and individualised care. These can be combined as supplemental detox treatments for a range of acute and chronic toxic conditions in contemporary settings.
