Concept of ‘DushiVisha’- Significance in Current Perspective
Journal Title: International Journal of Ayurveda and Pharmaceutical Chemistry - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Ayurveda is the science of life. Ayurveda gives greater importance to promotion of health and prevention of diseases rather than diseases and cure. In this current situation thousands of harmful toxins are accumulated in environment or are taken by the human being himself. As per Ayurveda, DushiVisha(Cumulative Poison) is a form of toxin (animal origin, plant origin, artificial poison) that has not been completely removed or neutralised. Due to various reasons it remains in the body for some time and eventually gets manifested in the form of some disease. In today’s modernized materialistic world, toxicity is increasing by regularly consumption of toxins every minute in the form of preservatives, uncontrolled excessive use of medicines, chemicals used for the ripening of the fruits, various harmful gases, bad dietary habits like Adhyashan, Ajirnashan, Viruddhashan, pesticides, heavy metals, minerals, pollutants etc. Our body gets exposed to such allergens (DushiVisha) through air, water and food. Skin is the largest organ of the body. It’s exposure to such pollutants is very high resulting in various types of allergic reaction. Thus the spectrum of DushiVisha and has become broad in present scenario.
