“ROLE OF ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICITY IN AGADTANTRA WITH CONTEMPORARY AND AYURVEDIC RELEVANCE- A REVIEW ARTICLE.”

Agadtantra, also known as Ayurvedic toxicology, is a specialised branch of Ayurveda that addresses the identification, classification, and management of poisons from natural and artificial sources. In the context of environmental toxicity, Agadtantra offers valuable insights into understanding and mitigating the adverse effects of pollutants on human health. As we know, pollution is one of the most dangerous environmental problems nowadays. To stop this, it is necessary that we start taking some actions to keep the environment safe and healthy. The idea of air, water, and land pollution has also been explored in a number of significant works of literature, and its contribution to diseases and the downfall of civilisations has been clarified. Dincharya, ritucharya, and janpadodhvansa are three ways in which our Acharyas have already described environmental wellness. The cumulative toxicity has also been included in the dooshi visha concept. By integrating ayurvedic principles with modern toxicological understanding, agadtantra offers holistic approaches to mitigate and manage the adverse impacts of environmental toxins on human health.
