Abstract

The first aim of Ayurved is to maintain good health and strong well-being and prevent unborn diseases . Ayurveda describes not only how to cure diseases but also lights up on prevention aspects, which are very effective in maintaining the health of the body, mind, and soul. Here we study the action of Rakshoghna Gana in Dhoopan karma(fumigation) to purify the air rather than face the polluted environment's disorders . We live in full billions of microorganisms. A maximum of them are not harmful but some of them are hazardous to children and old age, immunocompromised, and hin satva people. Hence proper sterilization and proper disinfection are necessary. But modern science disinfection processes many side effects. So, there is a constant need to develop disinfectant methods with negligible side effects. Due to many reasons like effectiveness, convenience, and cost, modern physical and chemical fumigating agents have been replaced by these classical techniques. The present study is aimed to compile the classical concept of Dhoopan Karma described in Sushrut Samhita.
