Tarentula-- Ute Seebauer |
||||
The senses Interestingly, symptoms in Tarentula are < from noise, but > from music. One explanation might be that noise in general is something that makes us stop and listen. Noise acts like a signal; there is no rhythm to it as opposed to music. Tarentula is rhythmic; it wants and needs to move. Music has a steadiness to it and is a sound that carries us away, makes us involuntarily move or go with the sound: Music might be a supportive tool that keeps Tarentula moving. Naturally, Tarentula has < fixing sight on any object, namely
the headache, as this is again a standstill. Same applies to being
blinded by the sunlight, but there is > from bright, lively colors.
By being bright, colors express liveliness and strokes the right
string in Tarentula: another tool, to keep it going. Eating & Food Tarentula is < smoking tobacco. That’s because tobacco
has a constricting effect on the blood vessels and lowers blood
pressure and circulation – Tarentula needs the flow though. Emotions Very peculiar is < Seeing others in trouble in Tarentula and
all complaints are in general aggravated by strong sensory impressions:
< cold, < touch, < noise; everything that interrupts the
rhythm. Etiology As mentioned above, the most Tarentula cases are brought on by sudden and strong emotions like

Tarentula also effects the heart and the respiration and predominantly
the right side, which represents the left side of the brain, which
itself is the center of the emotional part of the mind. Tarentula can be indicated after Gonorrhoea that has been checked by injections of silver nitrate or other, especially when complications occur in bowels, rectum and male genitalia. (Hering)

Bodily Functions and Discharges Menses The Menses in Tarentula tend to appear too early and to be profuse, while accompanied by the typical and characteristic symptoms for this remedy: chorea-like restlessness, dancing, twitching and jerking of muscles etc and severe pains and spasms, which increase and decrease with the flow. The menstrual discharges are light-coloured with small dark clots, darker and more profuse on rising. Leucorrhea, if present, is usually of yellowish color and may alternate with discharge of blood. One distinct feature in Tarentula is the expulsion of gas from the uterus.
The pregnancy of Tarentula patients is marked by diverse symptoms that concern the digestive system, appetite and metabolism like loss of appetite, intense thirst, general prostration, vomiting after eating or getting out of bed and craving of raw food.
The hepatic region is painful to touch and might be swollen or the whole abdomen is bloated. Violent burning of abdomen and rectum occurs and a sharp, lancinating pain in the umbilical region. The digestion of Tarentula seems to become more difficult with every day and the patient looses his appetite due to flat, bitter, salty or sweetish taste in his mouth. There is nausea, compelling to lie down and pain and intense burning in the stomach that gets worse from drinking cold water. The patient vomits mucous and acid matter. Tarentula has a tendency for constipation or violent urging and profuse, dark, fetid and bloody stools.
In general, the Tarentula patient has profuse excretions and secretions, which are however not easily expelled due to their tough or thick character and this way they are fatiguing for the patient, except for the perspiration which ameliorates. Usually excretions, secretions and discharges are bloody, dark and thick, often fetid.

Sleep & Dreams Even though Tarentula patients tend to yawn a lot, they are usually sleepless because they always want to stay in motion. Sleep aggravates their troubles and in the morning they wake up cross after dreams of business (staying in action) or drowning. Characteristic Sensations Tarentula complaints are characterized by choreic movements and restlessness that is particularly noted in the lower extremities. The patient has to keep moving which relieves his symptoms. Frequently the inner restlessness affects the head and the patient has to move his head from left to the right or back and forth, possibly purposely banging it against the wall or any other object, while doing so. Twitching and jerking of muscles and limbs accompany almost every disorder. All complaints are – mostly positive - influenced by music and dancing. Physical as well as mental, the patient is in a state of hysteria. All senses are over sensitive: irritated to a great degree and aggravated from the least excitement. Neuralgias can occur anywhere and are always aggravated by sensual impressions.
Typical for Tarentula also is the affinity to the right body side and the periodicity of the recurrence of symptoms (most times annually). Characteristic also is an apparent imminent choking and red or purplish coloration and swelling of tissue and skin. Pains most likely are neuralgic: sharp, lancinating or cutting and a sensation as if hammered can occur anywhere in the body but especially in the head. There is also an alive sensation that might be felt in any body part e.g. of a living body in the stomach, rising to the throat, motion in the uterus as from a foetus, as from something crawling up the legs under the skin or as if the heart turned and twisted around.
Hering considers Tarentula suited to “nervous, hysterical patients, who are subject to choreic affections” and people that have a “mischievous and destructive tendency”. Sometimes in Tarentula, one pupil is much dilated, the other contracted. The eyes might be glassy, red and have blue circles around them. The face itself is flushed or pale / earthy, possibly in strong contrast with the purple neck and shows the expression of terror. The hands might be hot and sweaty.

Tarentula
acts to a great extent on the Nervous System, the spine, the generative
sphere and the mind which becomes quite obvious on consideration
of the restlessness and all these choreic movements.
Tarentula
is known for its foxy character. He is malicious and calculating
as many things he does, he does in a calculating way. He is great
in planning intrigues. So it doesn’t surprise that, as Farrington
discovered, Tarentula’s hysteria is only present when the
patient is watched and subsides immediately, when there is no audience,
though it is not, that the patient feels better in solitude at all.
He simply likes to manipulate people to get his way, be that concerning
goods, attention, care or plain simply for his own satisfaction.
