Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue 0
Abstract
Human beings are invariably accustomed to the usage of plastics. These plastics pose various health hazards on the human population. According to the Global Industry Analysts in the year 2015, 297.5million tons of plastic were used. To increase the durability and elasticity of the plastic various plasticizers are being used. The utmost common plasticizer used is Phthalates. Phthalates are the di esters of 1, 2 – benzenedicarboxylic acid (phthalic acid). Phthalates have got various health hazards. Phthalates are nanoparticles and they surpass the placenta, breast milk, enterohepatic circulation leading to various systemic illness and complications pertaining to the same. Hence it is imperative to prevent the usage of Phthalates and also detoxification of the same has to be done based on classics. Pertaining to the classical reference it is clear that the Phthalates can be reflected to be similar with the theory of Dooshi visha (cumulative toxicity) as per Ayurveda; indulgence of the same will lead to various health hazards and complications. This paper aims to review the effect of Phthalates on human health and its management w. s. r. to Dooshi visha (cumulative toxicity). Based on the treatment notion of Dooshi Visha i.e various Panchakarma modalities one can reduce the complications as well as move towards Swasthya.
