| Abstract: | Four regions of Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh, Jhabua, Gwalior, Pachmarhi and Bastar were selected for observing folklore claims on some plant species used for the treatment of snakebite. Various plant parts are being used in different ways; some species are either used or not used in treatment of snakebite. To ascertain credibility of folklore claims, a comparison on use and disuse has been made. |
