Abstract: Ayurveda is the oldest medicinal system, and it has treasures of knowledge. From Rigveda to Samhita, Krimi has been critical in medical science for ages. Krimi is accepted as a causative factor of diseases. In Ayurveda, the concept of Krimi and their relation to the development of diseases have been described well. Also, its classification, signs, symptoms, and treatment are mentioned. The visible and invisible organisms that affect living beings are described in Ayurveda. The word Krimi is used broadly for all kinds of worms and micro-organisms. Krimi can be correlated with parasites and microorganisms mentioned in modern science. Krimi is described beautifully in Ayurveda as living in our body in different sites, which means the organism invades our body and is located in some particular site and produces various diseases.
