: Shodhganga: Kasyapa Samhita鈥擳ext on Visha Chikitsa (history)Snake-bites (in Sanskrit: Da峁兣沘) continues to remain a much under-estimated cause of accidental deaths in India. Random estimates of snake-bite mortality in our country varies from 1500 to 55,000 annually. The factual global burden of snake-bite remains unknown due to lack of standardized reporting. Statistics reveal that worldwide, approximately in a year, there are about 55,00,000 snake-bites with 2,60,000 envenomation and about 1,25,000 fatalities. Fatality is caused by a number of reasons like a very wide variation in the species of snakes, paucity of anti-snake venom, scant compliance with treatment protocol and lack of general knowledge of basic education. Sanke-bite is a common medical emergency, which, if attended with promptitude and first aid, can drastically reduce morbidity and mortality and save precious lives. Ayurvedic approach of treating snake-bite has co-parlance with the concepts of contemporary medical procedures.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
