Staphylococcus aureus, a gram-positive bacterium, is a significant human pathogen responsible for various infections, ranging from mild skin infections to life-threatening diseases. While conventional antibiotics remain the primary treatment, the rise of antibiotic-resistant strains necessitates alternative approaches. Homeopathic remedies, such as Belladonna and Ginseng, have been historically used for their purported antimicrobial properties. This study aims to assess and compare the antibacterial activity of homoeopathically potentized Ginseng and Belladonna against Staphylococcus aureus using the Kirby-Bauer disk diffusion assay. Various potencies of these medicines were evaluated, with Ginseng 200C demonstrating the most significant zone of inhibition (13mm). The findings reinforce the notion that homeopathic medicines possess measurable antibacterial effects, warranting further investigation into their underlying mechanisms.
