Title |
Wound Infested With Maggots |
|
|
Abstract |
Leaves of Strychnos nux-vomica L. are applied as poultice to sloughing wounds or ulcers when maggots have formed (Singh and Panda. (2005); Medicinal herbs with their formulations: 803. (http://books .google .co.in /books?i downloaded on 3.08.2009). Andrew Pengelly validated the use of virali among Australian aborigines for treating injuries, in her PhD work, 2008, (http://www.herbalschool.com.au/Docs/Hopbushresearch.pdf).
