Summary of article contents:

Ayurveda , an ancient holistic system from India, emphasises balancing the mind, body, and spirit for health, focusing on disease prevention through diet, exercise, and mental wellbeing. Paracetamol (acetaminophen), a widely used pain reliever, can cause liver toxicity when overused, leading to acute liver failure. Agada Tantra , Ayurveda's toxicology branch, addresses various poisonings, including synthetic toxins like food adulteration and drug interactions, termed " Gara Visha ." Gara Visha shares similarities with druginduced hepatotoxicity. Shirishadi Yoga , an Ayurvedic formulation, contains hepatoprotective herbs with antipoison, antiinflammatory, and bloodpurifying properties. It balances Doshas and detoxifies the liver, potentially preventing liver damage by suppressing toxic metabolites and enhancing glutathione synthesis. Its ingredients, known for antioxidants, immunomodulatory, and hepatoprotective actions, make Shirishadi Yoga a valuable remedy for liver protection, particularly in Gara Visha -related disorders.
