Various types of chemicals are found with food taken in present era. These chemicals are used for preservation
of ready to eat food or junk foods. The other chemicals are used as drugs, cosmetics and beauty products. All
such chemicals are harmful for human body if taken at more than a permissible amount or concentration. These
are known as Xenobiotics. The most studies say that these are very near contact with food and ingested with the
same parental root. Xenobiotics either affect the body by developing any pathology of disease or even death.
Sushruta had also given detailed explanation for such types of Xenobiotics in Sushruta Samhita. The present
study was done for understanding of salutary and harmful dietetics under the heading of Xenobiotics. Sushruta
has explained harmful dietetics which causes disease and even death which may be classified under endogenous
type of Xenobiotics. He has further classified them in four categories. This concept requires further study in the
manner of its absorption and metabolism, and which not eliminated from body may create disease.
