Abstract

In this era peoples are constantly exposed to environmental chemicals through polluted water, air, soil and food. This toxin gets accumulated in body tissues that lead to serious health consequences including cancer. These toxins cannot be removed from the body but instead becomes less potent after digestion and stays in the body for a longer period and vitiating it slowly is Dooshi Visha. Increased incidence of skin conditions like eczema and contact dermatitis after using newer cosmetics suggest that this may be due to local toxic effects or toxic effects manifested on skin. Ayurveda describes this phenomenon as Dooshi Visha. Panchakarma therapy is the detoxification procedure and neutralizes the toxins. It should be done periodically every year so that it will maintain the body and prevent from diseases. This purification therapy mostly include 5 procedures i.e. Vamana, Virechana, Basti, Raktamokshana, Nasya. This therapy removes the toxic clogs and normalizes the physiological process.
