ABSTRACT

Poison of insects (Keeta) has predominance of Vata –Pitta that of wasp and mouse has predominance of Kapha that of scorpion and centipede probably has predominance of Vata.

 Insects (Keeta) are of four kinds depending upon the Dosha predominance, three with the features of individual doshas and the fourth one is with the features of all of them together.¹

When bitten by insects (Keeta) with the predominance of Vayu Agadtantra is an important branch of Ashtanga Ayurveda that deals with signs and symptoms and also with the management of poisoning, resulting from the bites of snakes, insects and worms, spiders, rodents, etc. and various other poisons produced by improper combinations of substances or drugs. (Vata) pricking and pain are greatly increased; when bitten by Pitta predominant insects, there is less of exudation, but more of burning sensation, redness, spreading and appears like a ripe fruit of coffee (Peelu) or Kharjoora (Phoenix dactyliferous) when bitten by Kapha predominant insects, there is mild pain and the swelling appears like a ripe fruit of Udumbara (Ficusglomerata).²
