Abstract

Ayurveda, a branch of Astanga Ayurveda, addresses pollution as a significant environmental problem. Agadtantra, a branch of Astanga Ayurveda, focuses on poison identification and treatment. Ayurveda founders, the Acharyas, have described environmental wellness through Dincharya, Ritucharya, and Janpadodhvansa. Dushi Visha, a concept involving cumulative toxicity, includes pollutants like dust, gases, metals, and chemicals that accumulate in our bodies.
