Among the Ashtangas, ''agada tantra'' (toxicology) stands separate in its concept, clinical approach, management and result. This is the only chapter which guides us in the management of poison and the conditions of poisoning. As we all know ''visha'' and ''visha chikitsa'' requires a special mention in any medical system. It is rightly justified by the following facts:
Treatment of poisoning is an emergency and should be managed as a house on fire, earlier its extinguished, lesser the damage, and the result for the effort of ''vaidya'' is immediate when compared to the other disorders. This chapter deals with study of the poison, its origin and criterion of classification. The group of ''sthavara'' (poisons of plant origin, minerals and metal, poison of immobile origin or vegetable poison) and ''jangama'' (poisons of animal origin) are described. A special category called ''kritrima visha'' (artificial poison) with a significant role for a good physician in treating severe cases. ''Dushivisha'' (slow poisons) is explained in a sentence but, has lot of hidden meaning and is a treasure in innovating the treatment skills of a physician. Various treatment methods for the poisons and ''chaturvimshati upakrama'' (24 fold treatments) is a special contribution of Charak. Medicines as a single drug and as a combination are told as remedial measures and also as symptomatic treatments as per the requirement of condition are described. Together with this, ''jangama vishas'' (poison of animal origin) and specific approach for their management are very systematically mentioned.
