Curcuma zedoaroides, locally named in Thai as Wan-paya-ngoo-tua-mia, was first described by Chaveerach et al. in 2008.^[1] The plant is cultivated in the King Cobra Village^[2] of Khon Kaen Province, northeastern Thailand, where it is commonly used as a snake-bite antidote. Lattmann et al. (2010)^[3] and Salama et al. (2012)^[4] have published the antivenom activity of some phytochemical compounds isolated from plant rhizomes extract against Ophiophagus hannah (King Cobra).
