The clinical continuum of COVID-19 varies from mild illness with non-specific signs and symptoms of acute respiratory disease to extreme respiratory pneumonia and septic shock. Further, chemical and clinical studies should be conducted with this regard.ĬOVID-19 is the most recently discovered coronavirus infectious disease and leads to pandemic all over the world. This is very remarkable in collective understanding the therapeutic action of Ajita agada in management of poisonings. By virtue of pharmacodynamics, Ajita agada shows a similarity with poison itself.

Upon Ayurveda pharmacodynamics are concerned, it's observed that Kaṭu (76.47%), Tikta (35.29%) and Kashaya rasa (29.41%) are prominent Rasa, Laghu (94.11%), Tikshṇa (58.82%) and Ruksha guna (35.29%) are prominent Guna, Ushṇa (82.35%) and Katu (23.52%) as the prominent Virya and Vipaka. This study is aimed at fulfilling this lacuna by means of finding a strategy for critical care of poisonings through Ajita agada. Still, any organized management procedure in critical care for poisonings from Ayurveda perspective hasn't observed included in national health care system of Sri Lanka. Ajita agada is prescribed mainly for snake bites (Sarpa visha) and also for all the other kinds of animate (Jangama) and inanimate (Sthavara) poisons. This herbo-mineral anti-poisonous formulation is consisted of 17 ingredients and bee honey as its dipping material. Ajita agada is the main concern in this study which the references were found on Susruta Samhita Kalpasthana, Aṣhṭanga Samgraha Uttarasthana and Bhaisajjaratnavali. Agada are given a significance as anti-poisonous formulations in various Ayurveda treatises. Agada tantra is the specialized clinical branch where the therapeutic roots for poison management lie.


Poisonings have been identified as critical conditions in Ayurveda since centuries.
