Abstract

In addition, the bite of a scorpion is a widespread and worldwide public health issue that is found to be connected with significant morbidity and mortality. It poses a risk to workers in the agricultural sector, particularly farmers, villages, migrant populations, and hunters, and it is especially prevalent in the agricultural sector. The annual number of incidents of scorpion stings in India is greater than 1.23 million, with approximately 32,250 of those cases having the potential to be lethal. This can be due to a number of obstacles that are present in the treatment of scorpion bites, such as inadequate health services, transportation facilities that are difficult and delayed, incorrect traditional beliefs, and delays in the administration of anti-scorpion venom, which ultimately results in a significant amount of mortality and morbidity. There are a number of pharmaceutical formulations that have been discussed by Ayurveda for the treatment of Vrishchika Damsha, also known as scorpion bite. Traditional practitioners of medicine make extensive use of these therapeutic herbs. A large number of references to therapeutic techniques and drugs that are discussed for the management of vrischikavisha may be found in Ayurvedic classics. Due to the fact that the information contained in these ancient classics is dispersed in a broad variety of places, it is necessary to investigate and discover the solutions. The purpose of this article is to make a modest attempt to highlight the many types of risk factors and treatment approaches that are detailed in these publications, as well as the specific symptoms that are associated with them.

KEY WORDS:-  Scorpion, Vrishchika, medicinal formulations.
