Visha Chikitsa (Treatment of Poison) describes how harmful substances affect body activities and how they harm human tissues. Through diet and environmental contamination of the air, water, and soil,humans are continually exposed to potentially harmful environmental pollutants.Despite their alleged negativity, Visha Dravys are employed in many Ayurvedic formulations due to their quick effectiveness andvery low dosage. Numerous Visha Dravyas of mineral, plant, or animal origins are described in Ayurveda. In the Ancient Samhitas, particular antidotes for poisons are recommended in order to reversetheir effects. Charaka Samhitha,Sushruta Samhita, and Ashtanga Sangraha, among other ancient literature, offer substantial information on this branch of Ayurveda. A deadly poison, according to our ancient Acharya, canbe transformed totreatchronicdiseases.According to our old Acharya, if a poison is used correctly, it can transform into an extremely effective remedy. This assessment is a straightforward attempt to condense knowledge on the various Ayurvedic treatments for toxic and semipoisonous medicines as they are portrayed in the Indian medical system (Ayurvedic Antidote).
