Tuberculosis (TB)
What is Tuberculosis (TB)
In Homeopathy, Tuberculosis (TB) is seen as a deep-seated constitutional disease involving weakness of the lungs, immunity, and vitality.
The body becomes unable to fight the infection properly, leading to chronic irritation, cough, weight loss, and fatigue.
Homeopathy considers TB as a “chronic miasmatic condition” (usually tubercular or psoric), meaning the vital force becomes disturbed at a deep level, allowing infection to settle in the lungs.
Thus, long-term healing focuses on:
- Strengthening the immunity
- Supporting lung function
- Improving weight and appetite
- Reducing recurrent infections
- Preventing post-TB weakness
- But ATT medicines (allopathic anti-TB drugs) are always compulsory.
TB is an infection caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis, usually affecting the lungs, but it can also involve bones, brain, kidneys, lymph nodes, or spine.
कारण
Homeopathy focuses on both physical and constitutional causes:
1. Weak immunity
- Long illnesses
- Malnutrition
- Stress, grief, emotional suppression
2. Exposure to TB bacteria
- Close contact with TB patients
- Crowded or poorly ventilated areas
3. Poor lung vitality
- History of asthma, repeated bronchitis
- Smoking, pollution, cold exposure
4. Genetic constitution (miasmatic tendency)
Family history of:
- TB
- Weak lungs
- Allergies
- Recurrent respiratory infections
Homeopathy identifies these as deeper tendencies that weaken the system.
लक्षण
1. Persistent cough
- Dry at first
- Later with mucus
- Sometimes blood-stained sputum
2. Chest pain or tightness
- Due to inflammation in lung tissues.
3. Fever
- Low-grade, especially in the evening.
4. Night sweats
- Clothes or bed becoming wet at night.
5. Weight loss
- Despite eating normally → body becomes weak.
6. Fatigue & weakness
- Tiredness even after little work.
7. Breathlessness
- As lung capacity reduces.
8. Loss of appetite
- Body’s metabolism becomes disturbed.
9. Swelling of lymph nodes
