Worldwide, both traditional and modern medicine relies heavily on plants. In this work, we looked at local medicinal herbs and their use as a kind of treatment for scorpion sting envenomation. Information from the local tribal people from the research area for the year 2021 regarding phytotherapy for the treatment of scorpion stings was collected. Personal interviews were used to gather ethnobotanical data throughout multiple field trips. According to the study, the tribal chiefs have been treating scorpion stings with 20 different plant species from 17 different plant families. Most of the time, roots and paste forms were used.
