Abstract

Sarpavisha chikitsa (snake bite treatment) is extensively practiced in Kerala by using different Vishahara yogas (antitoxic formulations) and “[1]Paaranthyadi taila” is one among them which is predominantly used in the treatment of Mandali vrana chikitsa (Non healing wound due to viper bite). External application of Paaranthyadi taila is reliable and very effective in the management of Mandali damsa janya vrana (non-healing snake bite wounds) and can also be used in other different wounds. This article is based on textual reviews and clinical experiences. Descriptions related to Paaranthyadi taila are collected from Prayoga Samucchayam. Here an attempt is made to carry out the conceptual study of Paaranthyadi taila.

Keywords: Paaaranthyadi taila, Mandali damsa vrana, sarpa visha chikitsa, Prayoga samucchayam.Viper bite.
