Summary of article contents:

The existence of Krimi is not a new concept. Description of Krimi is found since the Vedic period. Enough descriptions of Nidana (cause), Bheda (classification), Rupa (signs and symptoms), Samprapti (pathogenesis), and Chikitsha (treatment) of Krimi Rogas are found in the Samhita period. According to Modern Science, there are separate branches of helminthology (for worms) and microbiology (for microbes) but in Ayurveda , the word Krimi is used for all worms and microbes. Worm infestations are considered the most common disease of children living in developing countries. In ancient times the existence of Krimi was detected by Anumana and also by watching signs and symptoms. Nowa- days through a microscope almost all microbes can be visible. Ayurveda prescribes various treatment approaches for the management of Krimi Roga such as Apakarshana,Prakriti Vighata , and Nidana Parivarjana . Keywords: Krimi, Worm, Microbes, Helminthes, Abhyantara Krimi, Bahya Krimi INTRODUCTION The Veda has indicated the existence of Krimi
