Abstract

Dooshi visha is a unique concept mentioned in Ayurveda, which has the potential to accumulate in various bodily tissues depending on their affinity and harm the body, by causing chronic illness. Present day exposure to various harmful chemicals can be considered as dooshi visha as they get accumulated in bodily tissues leading to cumulative toxicity causing chronic illnesses, instead of causing death immediately. Chemicals acting over the female reproductive system at different doses of exposure, and concept of dooshi visha was studied thoroughly.
