Ayurvedic Perspective Of Dushivishajanya Indralupta Disease

Abstract

At present, most diseases are caused due to unconventional etiology. For this unconventional aetiology, Agada Tantra focuses on Viruddha Ahar (Incompatible diet), Gara Visha (Concocted poison), and Dushi Visha (Denatured /Latent poison). Regular exposure to pollutants like dust, gases, metals, chemicals, etc. accumulate in our body and act like Dushi Visha which can cause Indraluptalike disease. It advocates the role of Dushi Visha in its pathology if the patient has a history of any poisoning. Keeping this view in mind, an attempt has been made to understand the concept of Dushi Visha and its role in the pathogenesis of Indralupta(Alopecia areata) disease.
