CRITICAL REVIEW ON KEETA VISHA ACCORDING TO VARIOUS ACHARYAS

In Agadtantra, two main types of Visha are explained: Akritrim and Kritrim Visha. Akritrim visha is divided into two types: Sthavar visha (plant origin) and Jangam visha (animal origin). Keeta Visha was described by Acharya Sushruta as Jangam Visha (Aminate poison). Insects are the most numerous animal groupings, accounting for 75% of all life forms. Keeta Visha is classified into numerous categories. According to the diversity, diagnosis, and treatment of Keeta Visha, Acharya Sushruta classified 67 distinct varieties of Keeta into four categories. The Damsha lakshanas and Chikitsa of various Keeta varieties are also mentioned in Ayurvedic texts. Keetas can be divided into two categories: Dushivishaja and Pranahara, or depending on Doshik supremacy. Loota, Vrischika, Mashaka, Makshika, Shatapadi, Pipeelika, and other Keeta damsha instances are widely seen in medical care. All of them are common with Dushivisha keeta lakshanas. Treatment should be using pharmaceuticals that have the opposite qualities of the disordered Doshas, according to their Lakshanas and vitiated Doshas. Ayurveda uses flexible methods to treat patients based on their Dosha predominance. Thus, by employing all of the ways given in the Samhitas, one can effectively cure Keeta visha.
