Background: Breast cancer a major cause of mortality worldwide. Although the disease occurs all over the world, its mortality, morbidity and survival rates vary based on etiological
factors. In spite there are various several modern treatments for breast cancer, there is a high risk for recurrence in majority of treatments. Hence, this study aimed to investigate the
efficacy of homoeopathic medicine Conium maculatum 6CH and 200CH in Michigan Cancer Foundation-7 (MCF-7) breast cancer cell line.
Methods: Assessed the cell viability by Mean Transit Time (MTT) assay. Cytotoxic effects of Conium maculatum by Sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay and Cell proliferation using colony forming assay.
Results: Ultra diluted preparation of the homoeopathic medicine Conium maculatum has significant effects in specific breast cancer cell line, producing cytotoxicity and a decrease in
cell proliferation.
Conclusion: It is scientifically evident that the homoeopathic medicine Conium maculatum has a significant effect in breast cancer cell line
