For every individuals cancer is the one word which is very scary and it is the second largest cause of death. In India there are nearly about 8,00,000 new cancer patients get registered with the national cancer registry program every year. Although heredity plays its role in causing cancer but that includes only 5% of cancer cases, non -heredity factors such as life style, level of physical activity, food, personal hygiene, environmental pollution are the major causing factors. Because of these factors toxins get deposited in body day by day called as cumulative toxins, in Ayurveda it is termed as dushi visha. Agadathanthra, is one of the branch of Ashtanga Ayurveda which deals with management of toxicity. The study about the principles of Agadathanthra and the etiology of cancer like diseases deduce that the diseases are mostly due to toxic substances which enter through food, air, water or medicine etc. Some of the toxin produces acute symptoms and some produces chronic symptoms. If we consider Gara , Dooshivisha and Viruddhahara concepts of Agadathanthra Agadtantra is a branch in which treatment of poison is explained and it is done by panchakarma by means of Shodhana (purification) method followed by various agada kalpas which are mentioned in samhitas for the treatment vishas(poison). Now a days there are various environmental factors causing cancer such as pollution, foods, foundation, perfume, hairspray, products such as shampoo lipstick, hair dye.These factors leads to deposition of toxins called as dushi visha (cumulative toxins) . Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy are the therapy that are used in cancer treatment will produce harmful toxic effects along with their beneficial effects. In case of cancer fresh cases do not report to Ayurvedic physicians (exceptions are there)for treatment. Mostly those people who try modern treatment procedures such as Surgery, Chemotherapy and Radiotherapy come for Ayurvedic treatment. The first few doses In chemotherapy will act as therapeutic doses and it destroys the neoplastic cells and usually don’t cause much damage to healthy tissues. But later the doses will cause serious damage to healthy tissues. The tendency of the Body fails to eliminate the excess drugs which deposits chemicals in the body and causes health problems for a long duration• These chemicals are indigestible and inexcretable by the body which lead to production of Ama. The Ama which is produced in the body shows the lakshanas of visha. In Ayurveda for the removal of such accumulated toxins various panchakarma procedure (purification) are described followed by various agada kalpas (formulation) that are useful to reduce or to remove toxicity
