EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF LANGLYADI LEPA ON HONEY-BEE STING

The eight branches of Ayurveda are referred to as Ashtang Ayurveda. Kaya, Bala, Graha, Urdhwanga, Shalya, Drashta, Jara, and Vrushan are among them. Drashta, in this context, refers to the study of poisons. Numerous circumstances, such as biting, consuming improper chemicals, and applying a material paste to the body's surface, can result in poisoning. According to Acharya Sushruta, there are sixteen different kinds of sadansha. One is dispersed by a structure resembling a needle, such as honeybees, scorpions, etc. In rural and Ayurvedic medicine, honey is one of the most widely used substances. There is a possibility of being attacked by honeybees while collecting honey. Honeybees sting the area where they attack. It results in excruciating localised pain and inflammation. Occasionally, it becomes more deadly, and the patient passes away from anaphylactic shock. Lepa karma is one of the 24 poisoning therapy strategies offered by Ayurveda. According to Acharya Sharangadhar, Langlyadi lepa works well for kita visha. Thus, the current study evaluates Langlyadi lepa's effectiveness in honeybee stings in albino mice.
