Introduction - Agadatantra is a branch of Ayurveda that deals with various poisons, signs and symptoms, and the management of poisons of various origins. For the management of poisons various drugs and formulations have been described. One such Vishaghna Yoga is Haritaki Vachadi Yoga, which is mentioned to be the best among Vishaghna Yoga. Many formulations in different modes of administration have been mentioned in the management of various poisons. Haritaki Vachadi yoga is a rare formulation mentioned for Sarva Visha in Visha Vaidya Jyotsnika. It has five ingredients and is administered as Paana (internal administration) and Nasya (nasal instillation). This paper is an attempt to analyze the benefit of Haritaki Vachadi Yoga. Materials and methods - The comprehensive review of Haritaki Vachadi formulation is done from the literature of Visha Vaidya Jyotsnika. The objective is to analyze Haritaki Vachadi Yoga for its benefit. Observations and results - This Yoga acts as Tridosha Shamaka and is effective in different types of Visha Vikara. In this Yoga, the drugs such as Haritaki, Vacha, Lodra, Nimba, and Hingu have Vishaghna, Krimigna, Kandugna, Vrana Ropana, etc., properties. Conclusion - Based on the properties and effects of Haritaki Vachadi Yoga mentioned by Acharya in Sarva-Visha Chikitsa may be found to be one of the effective anti-poisonous formulations.
