Abstract

 Modern civilization has diseased the humans from mosquito coils and other environment particular matters. Acharya’s have explained that if human habitat is of vishakatvayu (also deshaetc) leads to pratishaya and shirorogas. Hence we like to deliberate that visha is one nidan for Pratishaya. AcharyaSushurta has very shrewdly explained in Kalpasthana that when person exposes vishavayu’s then he suffers from Akshiroga, pratishaya etc. Recent researchers have bridged the gap between gaseous toxins that cause respiratory allergic disorders. By these modern considerations and not deviating from basics of Ayurveda we can understand visha chikitsa is applicable to couple of modern day disorders.
