Bhallataka is a famous plant with remarkable medicinal properties known to the Indians since ages. Of late, its
popularity and importance is at stake. The main reason is the occurrence of an adverse reaction during its use. The
reaction is somewhat idiosyncratic and presents mainly with the blisters. Though, the Ayurvedic therapeutics
have mentioned few remedial measures, yet, there is a need for an effective therapy. Better chance for
developing an effective regimen is only possible, if the regional literature wherein Bhallataka is used for
various purposes, is studied. Khagendra mani darpanam- a regional work describes various remedial measures
to treat the poisonous effect of Bhallataka. This article reveals 22 remedial measures by using 23 plant sources.
