Abstract

Ophitoxaemia is the medical term that describes an injury induced by a snake bite which can be fatal in the case of venomous snakes. Bleeding, allergic response, necrosis, and bradycardia are symptoms of venomous bite. Snake venom is from a complex mixture of proteins- enzymes, nonenzymatic polypeptide toxins, and nontoxic proteins. Based on the nature of the toxin and type of snake, the toxins are classified into neuro, cardio, and cytotoxins. This comparative study aims to explore and compare the practice of the traditional Ayurveda system and the modern system of medicine for snakebite management. By examining the existing literature and research on both systems, this article will provide insights into their efficacy, safety, and potential for integration.
