INTRODUCTION
Ayurveda Ayurveda can be defined as a system, which uses the inherent principles of nature to help maintain health in a person by keeping the individual’s body, mind and spirit in perfect equilibrium with nature. Ayurveda is a Sanskrit term made up of two words ‘ayu’ and ‘veda’. ‘Ayu’ means life and ‘veda’ means knowledge. The term ‘Ayurveda’ thus means ‘knowledge of life’. According to ancient Ayurveda scholar Charaka, ‘ayu’ comprises the mind, body, senses and soul. Ayurveda is an intricate medical system that originated in India thousands of years ago. The main aim of this system is to protect illness, heal the sick and preserve life. The fundamentals of Ayurveda can be found in Vedas, the ancient Indian books of wisdom. Agadatantra Agadatantra is one of the eight branches of Ayurveda which explains about visha along with its properties, action, fatal dose, detection, symptoms shown by intake of visha and its treatment measures. The word ‘agadatantra’ is derived from the combination of two words, Agada and Tantra. Agada means the medicaments which are used as an anti dot to combat the morbid condition. Tantra means science through which the positive health of an individual is preserved.
