Recent global estimates indicate that more than a quarter of the world’s population are infected with one or more of the parasitic and helminth infection. Most of the developing countries show high prevalence of worm infestation due to poor personal and environmental hygiene. Ayurvedic medicinal system is oldest in origin with treasures of knowledge about practices. In Ayurveda all acharyas mentioned the term Krimi and most of the authors described the classification, causes, symptoms and treatment of the Krimi. Ayurvedic physicians were well aware about Krimis and Krimirogas. Word ‘Krimi’ is used as broad sense for all worms and microorganisms’ perspective of modern science The description of Krimi done in Vimansthana is mainly deals with the description of Sthula Krimi wherein the regimen pertaining to extract them out the body is detailed. The description of Sukshma Krimi is made specific to the pathology they cause and are explained with context of those diseases. This is done because the presence of Sukshma Krimi denotes the dushti of Kshetra wherein there is no need for a separate treatment regimen, treatment of that particular pathology caused by them is in itself is its cure. Acharya Charak mentions a common list of aetiology of Udara Krimi (Shleshmaja and Purishaja).
