Active Tuberculosis (Active TB)
What is Active Tuberculosis (Active TB)
In Homeopathy, Active TB is seen as a stage where TB germs have overcome the body’s immunity and have become fully active, causing noticeable symptoms such as cough, fever, weakness, and weight loss.
Homeopathy understands Active TB not only as a lung or organ infection but as a deep disturbance of the vital force, where the body’s natural immunity becomes weak and unable to keep TB germs under control.
At our homeopathic centre, we focus on restoring your inner strength, rebuilding lung and organ vitality, and supporting the complete healing process—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
“Active TB is treatable.
Your lungs can heal, your immunity can rebuild, and with guided homeopathic care you can recover fully and naturally.”
Active TB means the TB bacteria are multiplying in the body and causing symptoms.
This form can spread to others if it involves the lungs.
Active TB may affect:
- Lungs (most common)
- Lymph nodes
- Bones & joints
- Kidneys
- Abdomen
- Pleura
- Spine
- Brain
- Skin
Homeopathic treatment supports your immunity and works deeply to help you recover faster alongside your prescribed medical TB regimen.
Causes
- Weak Immunity (Main Cause)
- Homeopathy sees TB activation as a sign of weakened vital force due to:
- Emotional stress
- Grief or shock
- Prolonged anxiety
- Chronic diseases
- Poor nutrition
- Sleep deprivation
- Exhaustion
- Untreated or Partially Treated Old TB
- Dormant TB germs become active when the body weakens.
2. Tubercular Miasm (Inherited Weakness)
- Homeopathy recognizes a deep constitutional tendency toward:
- Weak lungs
- Low body weight
- Poor stamina
- Recurrent infections
- Glandular weakness
- Strengthening this root is a major part of homeopathic care.
3. Lifestyle Factors
- Alcohol, smoking
- Pollution
- Poor hygiene
- Overwork
4. Medical Conditions
- Diabetes
- HIV
- Kidney disease
- Cancer therapy
- Steroid use
Homeopathy improves resistance and resilience in all these cases.
