Objective: To explore the basic gut microbiome and its association with gara visha & dushi visha. Material & method: Ayurvedic review is obtained from Bruhattrayi Samhita. Modern text is evaluated from online database such as pubmed, google scholar, frontier etc. and namaste portal was consulted for modern terms of ayurvedic terms wherever necessary. Discussion: The concept of, dushi visha & garavisham has been modernized in the form of various changes in dietary patterns and need to be understood. There is an interrelationship between ahara & agni. In ayurveda we need to know the importance of our dietary habits and use it to maintain our gut health as well as agni. And this agni can be correlated with its role as gut microbiome. The pathophysiology of many inflammatory conditions appears to include the gut microbiota, and GI disorders are frequently accompanied by cutaneous symptoms. This can be linked with intestinal dysbiosis. Conclusion: The knowledge about human gut microbiome and its role in both health and disease is a subject which can be explored in terms of ayurveda, while integrating ayurveda & modern science. People need to be aware of the terms like gara visha and dooshi visa. The practitioners at clinical level need to incorporate the concepts of gara visha & dooshi visha as the first line of pathogenesis. Keyword: agad, ahara, agni, dooshi visha, garavisham, gut microbiome
