ABSTRACT

Introduction: Micro-plastics are the tiny Particles of synthetic plastics polymers of sizes less than 5 mm to a few micrometers. These particles enter the body through food, water and various modes and may accumulate in the body (bioaccumulation). Though plastic itself is not a recognized toxin but may cause inflammation in human body and also act as a substrate for other toxic or non toxic material and may cause various symptoms to occur. It thus, acts on the lines of the Concept and action that of Dushivisha. Plastics is heavily used in todays times from food packaging to clothing. Hence it becomes extremely relevant to look at this rising threat in ayurveda perspective. Methodology: This study delves into the intertwined realms of microplastics and Dushivisha, aiming to draw parallels and distinctions between these two health phenomena. By exploring the literature and conceptual dimensions of both microplastics and Dushivisha, the research seeks to elucidate their comparable impacts on human health. The study adopts a comparative lens to analyze the similarities and differences in the nature and consequences of microplastics and traditional Dushivisha. Aim and Objective: Through this comparative approach, the research aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the evolving challenges posed by microplastics and how they align with or diverge from established concepts such as Dushivisha. This study holds the potential to inform strategies for addressing both historical and contemporary threats human well-being. And if the Treatment can be done with similar approach to that of Dushivisha.
