Abstract
Poisoning (Visha) is a medical emergency that can cause serious morbidity and mortality. Ayurveda describes detailed concepts of Visha, its classification, pathogenesis, and management under Agadatantra. Panchakarma, being the prime Shodhana Chikitsa, plays a crucial role in the elimination of toxins from the body. This review highlights the role of Panchakarma procedures such as Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Nasya, and Raktamokshana in various types of poisoning. The paper emphasises the detoxification, dosha balance, and restoration of physiological functions through Panchakarma in poisoning cases.
