Its successful existence since time immemorial itself proves its scientific approach attributed to its unique principles that have remained unchanged till date. The Ayurveda is categorized into eight divisions, which collectively called Ashtang Ayurveda. Agadtantra is one among those branches.

These synthetic fertilizers dramatically diminish nutrition value of food. Preservatives, colorings agent, additives are enter into our body in several way. Though they are in permitted range as per contemporary science but Ayurveda has different opinion regarding such toxins which are enter in our body in low quantity or low potency, they are termed as dooshivisha.
