Abstract:
Ayurveda is an ancient Indian system of medicine having eight important branches. Agada tantra is one amongst the eight-fold branches of Ayurveda that deals with identification, prevention, diagnosis and treatment of various manifestations caused by Sthavara Visha, Jangama Visha, Krithrima Visha and Khanija Visha. Indian system of medicine plays an important part in health care system all over India. Agad tantra is among one of them which deals with toxicological conditions and their management. There are several types of Keeta Visha described. Among animal poisoning, Acharayas have described different creatures (Sarpa, Keeta, and Luta) responsible for life threatening situations. The importance of Keeta Visha is more because it causes severe manifestations in the human being, even death also. Acharya Sushruta described Keeta Visha under Jangama Visha and explained 67 varieties of Keeta under 4 groups. According to its variety diagnosis and treatment of Keeta Visha is found to be very difficult because these varieties are not yet correctly identified and besides, regional variations of these Keetas manifests very differently. These are the largest groups of arthropods, which constitute 80% of all living animals, only 3% of the insect species are harmful to humans. Keeta Visha causes local symptoms to severe systemic manifestations like Shopha, Granthi, Visrapa, Karnika, Kitibha in the human beings, even death. Depending on its variety, diagnosis and treatment of Keeta Visha is found to be very difficult because these varieties are not yet properly identified and besides, regional variations of these Keetas expresses very differently. Here an attempt is made to collect signs and symptoms of Keeta Visha and their treatment modalities mentioned in different classical texts.
