Default Rising damp

I have a mid terrace house which only gets used at weekends. I recently
noticed a small area (approx 1 foot above the skirting board) of damp
plaster on an archway between the kitchen and the utility room.

I intend to chop this plaster back to the stone and I believe there is
a chemical additive I can add to the cement mix to stop further damp.

What is this chemical please?
