Abstract:
A poison, with fewer properties or less potent properties that an poison have which has attained a latent or hidden stage in the body not capable of death but in later stage with favorable condition and atmosphere able to produce harmful effect on body is known as Dushi Visha. Low potency of 10 qualities of visha is responsible for delayed action in other words cumulative toxicity in the body. The concept of Dushi Visha is still considered as enigma as not very much detailing is done in the classical texts except from Aacharya Sushuta. But, its clinical importance is so that all of the Aacharya of Brahutryee has mentioned it. Although an small description is found in texts different Aacharya has suggested different line of treatment of it. To get a proper answer to all these practical quires, it is very much necessary to go through the clinical impact & pathological understanding of Dushi Visha. Here an attempt is made to review the concept of Dushi Visha in detail.
