This invention relates to a herbal composition and process for preparing a detoxifying herbal extract using the stem bark of the woody liana, Dalbergia horrida for treatment of snake bite, specifically Cobra (Naja naja) and Russells viper (Daboia russelli) in mammalians. The herbal composition can also be used to treat venomous bites of krait, bugarus caeruleus, Saw scaled viper, Echis carinaturs, Monocelled cobra, Naja kaouthia and King cobra, Oohiophagus hannah. An extract (Dalbergia horrida) can be performed utilizing an ethanol solvent. Further, the extract can be performed utilizing a methanol solvent (an alcoholic solvent) separately. The ethanol extraction and methanol extraction of the herb can be performed using a common plant extraction approach (CPEA). The concentrated ethanol and methanol solvents can be pooled together to obtain a novel detoxifying herbal extract for treatment of snake bite.
