  • Abstract:
  • - Scorpion bite is common in India especially in villages. In India, the annual number of scorpion stings cases exceeds 1.23 million, of which over 32,250 may be fatal. There are several problems like poor transportation, wrong traditional beliefs, delay in anti-scorpion venom administration, poor health services faced by the villagers. Clinical features of the patients stung with scorpion are generally abnormalities indicative of cardiac, respiratory, autonomic and metabolic changes and deaths can be due to multi-system failure. Administration of anti-scorpion venom serum (AScVs) is the only specific treatment available in India but has many limitations like species specificity, difficulty in availability, affordability and ideal storage conditions. The medicinal plants, available locally and used widely by traditional healers, therefore need attention in this aspects. Wide arrays of the plants and their active principles have been evaluated for pharmacological properties useful in the treatment of scorpion bite. This is an attempt to present an account of sixteen plants used in the treatment of scorpion bite in any forms like topical application for local pain relief, oral formulation for pain relief and venom neutralization purpose.
