POTENTIZED SULFUR – A POTENTIALTHERAPEUTIC INTERVENTION IN LUMPY SKIN DISEASE

The vector-borne lumpy skin disease (LSD) virus is fast spreading in Asian countries, including India since 2019 causing substantial economic loss. There is no specific treatment available against the causative poxvirus. The present study presents a field trial of treating LSD-affected cattle with homeopathic sulfur preparation (Sulphur, potency 30). This therapeutic intervention not only reduced case fatality rate but also hastened recovery, without any adverse outcome, indicating its potential in the treatment of LSD.
