Abstract

In Ayurveda the branch Agad Tantra deals with the knowledge of different types of poison of animal or plant origin. It also deals with the origin, types, signs and symptoms and management of poisoning resulting from the bites of Sarpa (snake), Mushika (rodents), Kita (insects) and Luta (spider). Vrischik is said to be oldest poisonous creature on the earth. Among 800-1000 species, 30 species are lethal to humans. Due to scorpion bite (Vrischik Damsha) causality of life is very less, but it causes local pain, inflammation, oedema and redness of skin. Almost all Ayurvedic Samhita explain various variety of Vrischik based on its origin, structure, its sting effects, complications and their treatment, so here an effort is made to see the review of Vrischik w.s.r. to Brihatrayee (i.e., Charak Samhita, Shusruta Samhita, Astanga Hridayam, Astangam Samghram).
