Widespread in tropical regions where coral reefs are present, ciguatera fish poisoning constitutes a major hindrance for local fishing industries, local economies and foreign trade. Because no symptomatic treatment has been totally satisfactory, folk remedies remain of great interest. In this paper, a list of plants used in reating ciguatera poisoning in the Western Pacific region is presented, with emphasis on species whose exact utilization (par of plant used, preparation, dosage) has been determined.
