Visha chikitsa is one among the ashtanga Ayurveda which primarily focuses on the prognosis, diagnosis and management of diseases caused by the Visha Dravyas, either Sthavara (plant origin), Jangama (ani-mal origin) or kritrima(artificial poison). In this modern era, due to urbanization & industrialization, pollu-tion possesses a major threat to the mankind and other biotic components of the ecosystem. This paves the way for imbalance in harmony of the ecosystem thereby leading to various health hazards such as severe respiratory illness and other diseases.There are many fruitful agada Yogas which are mentioned in our classics. Laaksha haridradi dhoopa is one such formulation mentioned in Susrutha Samhita Kalpasthana, 3rd chapter Jangama Visha Vijnaniya Adhyaya.
