Chronic Miasms in Hahnemannian era
The enormous question in the homeopathy world asked is what are chronic miasms, how to capture them in a particular case in our everyday practice and prescribing the remedy which will hit it. The basic miasm is the fundamental cause for the symptoms and signs elicited in a patient. Unless we know it we can’t make the totality of the symptoms of the disease and prescribing. Aphorism 7 in Organon of Medicine states, “Totality of the symptoms is this image of the immediate essence of the malady, inflected externally.” Hence the final selected remedy should meet the requirements of the totality and also the active miasm.
During Hahnemann’s time, the term ‘Psora’ was used for almost all the skin troubles. Hahnemann defined Psora as “the oldest, most universal, most pernicious and yet that least known of the chronic miasmatic disease, which has been deforming and torturing the nations for thousands of years.”
Psora – The Miasm
Hahnemann’s greatest principle in the treatment of psora was that no skin eruption shall be removed by external remedies or applications. He realized that a skin eruption is not a local disease but a manifestation of an internal disorder. Over the period with the advancement in science and technology, we can state that psora represents much more than only skin eruption.
Psora miasm is carried from generation to generation increasing the susceptibility to disease. The fundamental of Psoric miasm is hypersensitivity or deficiency/lack.
Some of the characteristics of Psora when in state of health are:
- Quick to grasp what is taught
- Concentration level is high
- Always makes an attempt to improve after failure
- Good photographic memory
- Positive imagination and creative
During sickness, you will find many PQRS symptoms since the sensitivity and susceptibility are high. Homeopathic remedy at this state when correctly prescribed combats the disease.
A person in psoric state suffers from anxiety, early stages of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disease), Involuntary urination (Enuresis), Selective mutism, and many more.
For a deeper understanding of Chronic miasms, read the book by J. H. Allen ‘Chronic Miasms And Pseudopsora’ available in Zomeo Homeopathic Software.
Whenever the psoric state is treated with a suppressive line of treatment or due to any maintaining cause the psora slides into sycotic miasm or tubercular. The evolution from psora to sycotic phase comes with behavioral changes and different disease pattern.
