Abstract: Visha Chikitsa, one among the ashtanga?s of Ayurveda explains two unique concepts called Gara Visha and Dooshi Visha. Gara Visha is a combination of non-toxic substances or toxins of alpaveerya. Dooshi Visha is a combination of toxic substances or toxin with less quality. Both of these remains in the body for a longer period of time. In the pathogenesis ofgara and dooshi Visha, the involvement of agni and anna are seen. Grahani Roga is a condition in which both digested and undigested foods are expelled from the grahani due to impaired or vitiated agni.
