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.
蛇咬伤是东南亚国家的一个主要社会医学问题,目前仍依赖抗蛇毒血清作为唯一的治疗手段,而这种治疗方法有其自身的局限性。在印度,尤其是农村地区,医疗中心不足,蛇咬伤受害者大多依赖传统治疗师和草药解毒剂作为替代治疗方法。本综述聚焦于各种民间和传统草药及其抗蛇毒化合物,这可能是建立未来蛇咬伤治疗和管理疗法的垫脚石。
