Homoeopathic Medicines made out of Spiders (Arachinida) group of plants and their preparation, properties and clinical indications
Spiders form the largest and the most widely distributed order of class of animals called arachnida which also includes scorpions , false scorpions, mites and ticks. There are about 22000 different species of spiders of which about 500 are British.
There are about three subclasses of arachnida family. They are
Acaridae
Aranidae
Scorpoidae
Spiders (ARANIDAE)
There are two types of spiders
1. Aranomorphae or dipneumones with one pair of lungs. They spin cobwebs in air
2. Mygalomorphae or tetrapneumones with two pairs of lungs. They always live in funnels and tubular holes in ground.
Most species belongs to aranomorphae and they are called true spiders or tarantulas,
Greek mythology
In the ancient Greece there lived a woman cached ARCHNE who was famous for her skill in weaving Her skill at her art make her very conceited thinking that there was no one better than her. In her conceit, she challenged godess ATHENE for a weaving. Arachne’s effort was very beautiful and it aroused jealousy in athene who was felt threatened by arachne. In her fit of rage she tore arachnes weaving into pieces. Arachne wasv ery upset and she hung herself whereupon Athene changed her into a spider and condemned her to go on weaving for ever. Hence the name arachnida which means children of Arachne.Lack of antennae distinguish spiders from insects. Only few spiders are poisonous to man.
Action of toxin
The symptoms of spider bite are very unpleasant, The venom is a neurotoxin which causes paralysis muscle cramps and severe pain. Breathing becomes difficult and victims run a high fever. The must dangerous of all spiders is the black widow spider which has a slimy black body. Its venom is said to be most poisonous and is 15 times more powerful than that of rattle snake.

Spheres of action
1. Central nervous system by the action on CNS especially on the motor nerves of spinal cord it produces symptoms tike chorea, hysteria and involuntary movements. Its action on other important centers produces hyperesthesia and convulsions. Other nervous symptoms are anxiety , trembling restlessness , over sensitiveness and nervous prostration. Action on uterus and ovaries leads to neuralgia.
2. Cardio vascular system
Acts on heart and blood vessels and produces constriction of circular muscle fibers and cardiac muscle fibers. Action on papillary muscles of heart through spinal nerves produces murmurs
3. Arteries -constriction of blood vessels
4. Haematotoxic actions degeneration and destruction of blood vessels.

Doctrine of signature in tarentula
1.Tarentuia hispania digs a vertical hole in the ground and covers l with the web so that it resembles the surroundings. Thus it lures its unsuspecting prey. Such Is the intelligence of the spider. Tarentula hispania patients are also extremely intelligent to the extend of being foxy and cunning.
2.The spider waits for its prey quietly and when the prey falls into its trap, it pounces on its prey with a sudden and violent attack and quickly goes back into its hole. This violence is seen in tarantula hispana patients in violent movements like twitching jerking and epilepsy. Tremulous violence in mental sphere also.
3.The spiders are well known for their amatory dance. During mating season the male spider dances a around the female.The female select one and kills and eat others. This violence and destructiveness ‘s seen in tarantula hispania patients also, They are active quick acting and very angry If contradicted. Very aggressive and progressing to a state of tearing clothes. Destructiveness more when he is being observed.
4.Spiders uses their webs to communicate with each other. A long string connects the legs of spiders. But the spider will not get caught in its own web although the strings are sticky. Here also we can see the cunning destructive nature of spider.
Tarentuia hispania patients are also very cumnning. They know how to get the things they want. They are great manipulators prone to lying and deception- Kleptomania and feigning sickness. Tarentuia hispania patients will often magnify their symptom for secondary gains.
5.Hurried nature of tarentuta hispania patients are attributed to the hurried activity in the nests or tarantula hispanias, Tarantula hispania patients are compelled to move about constantly. Lower extremities are most restless. Tosses about in bed , when he wakeup bed is in complete disarray. Restlessness with anxiety. Apprehension and feels as if something bad will happen. Hurried and annoyed if people in front of them walk slowly. Walks very fast or will often run out of their restless compulsion. Industrious effective and highly productive in their work. Their hurried nature can be attributed to the poison which hyperacceIe rates their nervous system
6.Tarentula hispania migrate annually through a town named tarentum. Spiders got their names tarentula from this town.
Patients bitten by spiders will have annual return of their symptom at same time but with decrease of violence. There is marked periodicity of symptoms.
