| Abstract: |
Snake bite, a major socio-medical problem of south east asian countries is
still depending on the usage of antisera as the one and only source of
treatment, which has its own limitations.
In India,
mostly in rural areas, health centres are inadequate and the snake bite victims
mostly depend on traditional healers and herbal antidotes, as an alternative
treatment. The present review has been focussed on the varied folk and
traditional herbs and their antisnake venom compounds, which might be a
stepping stone in establishing the future therapy against snake bite treatment
and management. |
