Abstract

A catalogue of plants used to treat envenomation by scorpions has been compiled from a comprehensive range of over 30 reference books and review papers. Details of the parts used and the method of use are given, as well as the geographical source. The possible pharmacological and chemical basis of the use of some of the plants listed is discussed and compared with plants used to treat envenomation by snakes.
