New Study Confirms Safety of Homeopathic Arsenicum album

A recent study by the Central Council for Research in Homoeopathy (CCRH) has found that Arsenicum album, a popular homeopathic remedy, is safe for use. This research was led by Dr. Pankaj Gupta and his team to ensure the safety of this treatment, which many people use for various health issues.

Arsenicum album, despite being named after arsenic (a known poison), is used in very small, diluted doses in homeopathy. However, until now, there wasn’t enough data to confirm its safety.

What the Study Did

Researchers tested Arsenicum album on rats to see if it caused any harm. They used three different strengths of the remedy: 6C, 30C, and 200C. In the first part of the study, they gave the rats a high dose and watched them for 14 days. The results showed no deaths, meaning the remedy did not cause fatal harm even at high doses.

In the second part, they gave the rats smaller doses every day for 28 days. During this period, they checked for signs of illness, changes in weight, and overall health. They also performed detailed blood tests and examined the rats’ organs to ensure there were no hidden issues.

What the study says

The results were positive. The rats remained healthy, showing no significant changes in their health indicators. This means that Arsenicum album, at the doses tested, is safe for long-term use.

 What This Means for You

This study is good news for people who use or are considering using Arsenicum album as part of their homeopathic treatment. It provides scientific evidence that the remedy is safe, even when used over a longer period. This study reassures the safety of Arsenicum album, giving confidence to those who rely on homeopathic remedies for their health care. To use this medicine, kindly consult your nearby homoeopathic physician for its appropriate use.
