Agada Tantra avum Vidhi Vaidyaka

Preserving Life through the Science of Ayurvedic Toxicology

Agada Tantra, one of the eight classical branches of Ayurveda, bridges ancient toxicology with modern forensic science. We specialize in the identification and management of Visha (poisons)—from plant and animal origins to artificial toxins—while integrating essential medico-legal and emergency care principles.
