Industrial processes, daily use products and occupational exposures have bring human and many chemicals very much closer than never before. This study focuses on such chemicals - Endocrine Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) and Occupational Hazardous Chemicals (OHCs) and attempts to find Ayurvedic management of poisoning in patients who have been exposed to these chemicals. EDCs' and OHCs' tend to accumulate in our body in fatty tissues - a phenomenon known as Bioaccumulation. Later they may be released into bloodstream. In this way, once entered into human body, they last life long and keep damaging body tissues, leading to organ failure and even death. EDCs are found in many everyday products, including plastics, detergents, flame retardants, food, toys, cosmetics, and pesticides. EDCs can alter the hormonal signals that control and guide much of our growth and development, the way our organs function, and our ability to fight disease. Exposure to EDCs is linked with cancers, diabetes, reproductive disorders, neurodevelopmental impairment, and immune system suppression. Also, the OHCs are proven detrimental to human health. EDCs and OHCs chemicals has close resemblance with Dushi Visha and Gara Visha in terms of symptoms, complications produced by them.
