ABSTRACT
Background: In contemporary toxicology and forensic medicine, the primary focus remains on acute stabilization and chemical antidotes. However, the management of residual toxicity (Visha-shesha) and the prevention of chronic complications—conceptualized in Ayurveda as Dushi Visha—remain significant clinical challenges The Ayurvedic subspecialty of Agadatantra provides a sophisticated framework of Pathya (wholesome) and Apathya (unwholesome) dietary and lifestyle modifications to neutralize lingering toxins and restore physiological equilibrium. This review aims to synthesize classical Ayurvedic principles of dietary and lifestyle interventions with modern forensic toxicological perspectives to create a comprehensive management protocol for postpoisoning recovery in humans. A systematic literature review was conducted using major Ayurvedic classical texts Brihat Trayee and modern databases (2015– 2025). Keywords included Agadatantra, Pathya-Apathya, Forensic Toxicology and Dushi Visha.
