Spongilla (Badiaga)

Spongillidae is a family of the genus Spongilla.

There are two types of Spongilla, one is lake dwelling and is brown in colour, Spongilla Lacustris. The other type lives in slow stream rivers, Ephydatia Fluviailis and is usually dark green.


The latin name is Spongilla - this genus lives in freshwater. It has a skeleton that is made up off silicon peptide needles linked together with organic substance called spongin.

In general medicine, Spongilla was commonly used in Russia but also in Europe. Spongilla powder was exported from Russia before the 1st world war. In the 20th century Spongilla was used in conjuction with other homoeopathic substances In 1930 in Europe a tincture (Die Badiage-Tinktur) was used to treat many illnesses.

When Spongilla is used on the skin, the micro needles disturb the top layer of the skin and increase blood flow. Ephydatia Fluviailis has pronounced redness after application this is because it has larger needles than the Spongilla Lacustris.
