Adult Tuberculosis (Adult TB)
What is Adult Tuberculosis (Adult TB)
In Homeopathy, Adult TB is seen as a condition where the vital force (natural immunity) becomes weak due to stress, lifestyle pressure, emotional strain, or past illness — allowing TB germs to become active and cause symptoms in the lungs or other organs.
Adults usually develop TB due to reactivation of old TB, strong stress, low immunity, or high exposure.
Homeopathy focuses on rebuilding your immunity, strengthening lungs and organs, improving energy, and speeding your recovery in a safe, natural way.
“Adult TB is fully treatable.
With proper treatment & guided homeopathic support, your lungs can heal, your strength can return, and full recovery becomes a reality.”
Adult TB happens when TB germs become active and cause symptoms in adults.
It usually affects:
- Lungs (most common)
- Lymph nodes
- Spine / bones
- Abdomen
- Kidneys
- Pleura
- Brain (rare but serious)
Adults are more likely to develop reactivation TB, meaning the germs were dormant from childhood or past exposure and become active when immunity falls.
Homeopathy helps the body fight infection, reduces symptoms, and speeds recovery by strengthening your constitution.

Often due to:

- Anxiety
