During the pandemic, Arsenic Album 30 emerged as a household name in India, widely circulated as a preventive against respiratory infections. But is it truly an immunity booster for everyone? And what are its real benefits, beyond the hype?
Approved by the Ministry of Ayush Arsenic Album 30 is a homeopathic remedy known for building immune resilience under professional guidance. However, it is not a one-size-fits-all solution.
What Is Arsenic Album 30
Arsenic Album 30 (also called Arsenicum Album) is a homeopathic medicine prepared in high dilution from arsenic trioxide. Despite its origin, serial dilution and succussion make it completely safe and non-toxic.
This remedy is most commonly used in homeopathy to address:
- Recurring respiratory issues
- Skin allergies or eczema
- Low immunity and anxiety-linked ailments
- Gastrointestinal infections
It is often prescribed as a preventive remedy when the patient shows a constitutional match, not as a general supplement.
Arsenic Album Benefits for Immunity
Arsenic Album 30 helps balance the immune system, especially for those who frequently fall sick due to environmental triggers or stress. Key arsenic album benefits for immunity include:
- Enhances resistance to seasonal flu and viral infections
- Supports recovery from chronic respiratory illness
- Reduces allergic reactions to dust, food, or pollution
- Stabilises immunity in people prone to anxiety or panic-related weakness
Immunity is complex. A remedy like Arsenic Album works best when aligned with your body type and lifestyle.
A study conducted in Kerala, India, investigated the efficacy of Arsenicum album 30C in upregulating immunological markers among residents in COVID-19 hotspots. The findings indicated that this homeopathic remedy effectively increased immune markers such as CD4, CD8, CD3 counts, and lymphocyte levels, suggesting its potential role in enhancing immunity.
Dr Batra’s® pro tip:
Arsenic Album 30 can support immunity, but only when prescribed based on your body’s needs. Self-medication may suppress real symptoms or lead to misuse.
