Treatment of snake bite according to Ayurveda










Treatment of snake bite according to Ayurveda

Snake bites are very common in India with frequent fatal results. It is estimated that in India, approximately 25,000 deaths occur from snakebites every year. The problem is acute particularly in rural areas where antivenom is not readily available. Resorting to charms (manimanthra) and herbs are still in vogue in all parts of the country. These give surprisingly good results in some cases, but fail in some others. It is necessary that physicians residing in rural areas are well conversant with the signs and symptoms that occur in those bitten by the commonly known snakes and the line of treatment to be adopted in each variety, as described in the Ayurvedic texts. Some of the most effective recipes popularly resorted to in the villages should also be kept in mind.

The after effects of snake bites described in seven stages and their treatment as given in Ayurvedic texts are tabulated below.

1.Darvikara Sarpandamsha: (Bite of hooded snakes-cobra)

Stage Signs & Symptoms Treatment
1. Discharge of dark blue blood Sucking the blood by from the site, face pale and making an incision and cyanosed,feeling of 'ants anti-poisoning drugs to be moving over the body'. given with honey and ghee.

body.

2. Swelling of the body. As above.

3. Yellow colour and swelling After vamana,large all over the body with thirst. quantities of yavagu should be given for drinking.

4. Fever and burning sensation same as in Darvikara All over the body. 4th stage.

5. Patient feels as if he is on fire, -do- 5th stage.

6. Symptoms as in Darvikara Treat with ateekshna (mrudu) and cold drugs or kashaya of padma kadiganam.

7. do As in Darvikara 7th Stage.

3.Rajeemantha Damsha (bite by Vipers)

1. Blood will become pale Put deep incision at the site of bite and remove blood, Kaphahara and
Vishahara treatment to be given.

2. Body becomes heavy Treatment as in the respective stages of Darvikara damsha.

5. Stretching pain behind the head, do cutting pain all over the body.

6. As in Darvikara damsha Teekshana anjana with Nirgundi swarasa or Kalka.
7. do As in Darvikara dansha

Some of the effective recipes:

1. Root or Sinduvaram and Vacha both equal quantities powdered and given in doses of half tola with 4 oz. of hot water, ghee or honey.This is best for Darvikara visha.

2. Juice of Sireesha flower with the powder of Nirgundi seeds given as above.

3. Lavanga twak, Manasshila, Haridra, Daruharidra, Vaktram Tagara, Sardulanakha, Tamalapatra, Nagakesara, Chandana, all in equal quantities powdered and given in doses of 1 tola with rice washings(kanji). This forms an important drink for all snake bites.

4. The roots of Canthium parniflorum is made into a paste with water and given internally in half tola dose. It is externally applied at the bitten area. It is a well known remedy of rural parts,is reputed as efficient in all snake bites.

It is found that no effective 'Anti-venom' recipe is marketed by any of the Ayurvedic pharmaceutical concerns, which has resulted in a great handicad to Ayurvedic practitioners. It would be worthwhile both scientifically and practically if the Govt. Central Pharmacy at Bangalore or any of the private pharmacies takes up the manufacture of some of the established recipes in Ayurvedic toxicology.

Prognosis of some diseases according to Ayurveda

(Article published in National Medical Journal- 1969)

1. The patient who is dehydrated, if he is unconscious and if his tongue is
protruding will die soon.

2. The patient who is in a comatose condition with his body cold and his face
looks oily(unctous) will die soon.

3. The patient of piles who has developed oedema in the extremeties
abdomen, scortum and rectum, or with heart diseases and vomiting will
not live long.

4. The patient of diarrhoea, if his motions are very loose and of different
colours, will not live long.

5. The patient of urinary calculus, if he develops oedema of the scrotum,
with pain and retention of urine,will definitely die.

In the case of female patient, if the oedema develops from head
downwards, with other symptoms as above, she will have the same fate.

10. The patient of anaemia whose body is strong but extremeties are weak
and viceversa, will also die.

11. As a general rule,in most of the diseases, if all the saptha dhatus in the
body and the dehagnis are weak, such cases should be avoided by the
physician, knowing that they end in death.

12. In Vata rogas,epilepsy, leprosy, Raktapitta, ascitis Rajayakshma,Gulma
