The live stock of humans is in danger as the epidemic of Lumpy Skin Disease is a concern both for morbidity and mortality. It is both a global and national problem. The extension of the monsoon this season in the state of Gujarat and Rajasthan have added salt to the wounds as the LSD became a major killer of cattle in these two states. To deal with the issue, the central and state governments are using the Goat Pox Vaccine as there is no specific vaccine for LSD till date. There is no specific treatment available as the only approach is symptomatic only. It is here that Homoeopathy can play a succour to the existing problem as it provides not only symptomatic relief but also preventive and curative relief for the vast live stock that is a source of livelihood for a number of families in India. The state and central governments can use this cheap and effective mode of prevention and treatment while keeping on the efforts of vaccination. This approach will not only lead to less morbidity but also less mortality.
