Abstract :

Charaka says �Even an acute poison can become an excellent drug if it is properly administered�. On the other hand, even a drug if not properly administered becomes an acute poison.� Holistic approach towards Ayurveda is �permanent cure with delayed effect & with no known side effects�. If this approach critically analyzed wsr to current scenario i.e. immediate effect, then the question of existence of AATYAYIKA CHIKITSA (Acute management/Immediate effect) in ayurveda will be screened. For this we need the drugs possessing qualities perticularly like vyavayi, vikasi, teekshna, sooksma, ushna. Most of the Visha & upavishasposses few of these potential qualities. In ayurveda usage of Visha & upavisha drugs like vatsanabh, kupeelu, gunja,karveeretc are extensive in different classical formulations which are having therapeutic significance. The side effects can be screened & evaluated with due thoughtfulness of adulteration, commercialization & products against classical instruction.
