A REVIEW OF BILWADI AGADA AND APAMARGA MOOLA ON VRISHCHIK DAMSHA CHIKITSA, AN AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT FOR SCORPION BITE

Abstract

A sort of poison generated by an animal that is actively administered through a wound by way of a bite, sting, or other similar action is known as venom or zootoxin.[1][2][3] The process of envenomation involves the delivery of the poison through a specially evolved venom mechanism, such as fangs or a stinger. National public health data show that there are 1.5 million scorpion envenoming’s recorded worldwide each year, resulting in 2000–3000 fatalities. [4,5]. Scorpions (also known as Vrischika) are a type of Keeta (insect) because of the intensity of their poisoning and illness symptoms. Vrischika Visha has received special attention from Ayurveda acharyas and is referred to as a singular entity in the classics. The present work examines the therapeutic effects of Apamarg moola and Bilwadi agad, two commonly utilised medicinal herbs by traditional healers in the treatment of Vrishchik damsha (scorpions bite).A polyherbal ayurvedic preparation is called Bilwadi agada or gutika. In acute toxicopathological situations, it is a viable medication option.
