*Dr. Vivek Gopal and Dr. Vidya C. Undale

ABSTRACT

Agada tantra addresses the warning signs, physical additionally with the treatment of poisoning brought on by the bites of snakes, insects, worms, spiders, rodents, etc., as well as a variety of other poisons created by improper drug or substance combinations. The number of spider species has been estimated at over 50,000. Even though only a small percentage of spider bites are dangerous, delaying treatment can result in death. Since spider bites pose a risk to humans, they should be treated seriously, particularly in areas where they are endemic. In this review, our goal was to learn more about poisonous spiders and their cures. The classification, clinical features (general and specific) and treatment protocol for spiders (lutas) are all included in the Agada Tantra's simplified approach to spiders (lutas). This is a conceptual study and it is mainly focusing on the study of management of Spider poison in ayurveda and modern.
