CONCEPTUAL STUDY OF SNAKE BITE AND ITS MANAGEMENT
Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 8
Abstract
Snake bite is a significant health concern, especially in rural populations of tropical and subtropical countries. In India, snake bites take a heavy toll of human lives, and therefore warrant urgent attention. High mortality is due to poor health services in rural areas and delay in getting the victim to a well-equipped health care facility, where anti snake venom can be administered. However, geographical and species variation, logistic, economic and production issues restrict the use of anti-snake venom. In India our ancestors were treating snake bite long before the invention of anti-venom. Ayurveda has various treatment modalities and herbs those were mentioned for venomous bite treatment. Though most of them are scientifically unsubstantiated, yet they cannot be glossed over due to their inherent advantages. They are practiced by diverse social groups for long, offering unconditional Benefits.
