Today is the last day of miasmatic theory, and it is different again. If you have been with me all along, thank you for reading. I have put hours of time and research into this, and they have taken me over 6 weeks to write. Louis Klein has two excellent books on Miasms and Nosodes that are a fantastic reference. He looks at the different microbes and discusses miasms, for which he has expanded on Sankaran’s 10 miasms in order

Last Monday I wrote about miasmatic theory, and then each day discussed a different miasm- Psora, Sycosis, Syphilitic, Tubercular, Cancer and then the last two days some of the other Miasms that have been proposed. Today we are looking at Miasms in a slightly different light, and examining the work of the first of two Homeopaths who have taken miasmatic theory in two different directions. Come back tomorrow to conclude the series looking at Louis Klein’s work. Miasms and the

This is a continuation of yesterdays post, looking at other proposed miasms. Last week was a week long exploration of miasms, with Hahnemann’s original three, then the Tubercular and Cancer miasms, and yesterday a look at miasms that have been theorised for today- AIDS, Radiation or FARC. Today we are exploring some other postulated miasms and what those look like in terms of experience and disease. Over the week we have talked about Peter Fraser’s work quite a bit. His

The five miasms we have discussed this week are accepted by many Homeopaths around the world. However in more recent times there has been discussion about other miasms. Some of it is quite controversial, some Homeopaths believe that they fit in to the other five, or for traditionalists three, miasms. I’m not trying to convince you one way or the other, but present the information so you can have some understanding, and then use what fits into your world view.

This week we are exploring Miasmatic theory, what Hahnemann called our predisposition to disease, and covers inherited patterns of illness. This is the fifth miasm, so make sure to check out the introductory post and those about Psora, Sycosis, Syphilitic and Tubercular miasms. The fifth miasm is Cancer. This post will discuss some of the wider metaphysical relations with cancer and other mental, emotional and physical aspects related to the cancer miasm. If you have not read the introductory post

This week we are exploring Miasmatic theory, what Hahnemann called our predisposition to disease, and covers inherited patterns of illness. This is the fourth miasm, so make sure to check out the introductory post and those about Psora, Sycosis and Syphilis. Today we are exploring the Tubercular miasm, which is not one of Hahnemann’s original three miasms, but was suggested by Dr Samuel Swan in the 1870s, and has been widely accepted since then. Some Homeopaths do see it differently

This week we are exploring Miasmatic theory, what Hahnemann called our predisposition to disease, and covers inherited patterns of illness. This is the third miasm, so make sure to check out the introductory post and those about Psora and Sycosis. Before you read further, this post may be triggering as it has discussion about death and the cycle of life. This may be difficult to read if you or a loved one are in a degenerative disease state or palliative

This week we are exploring Miasmatic theory, what Hahnemann called our predisposition to disease, and covers inherited patterns of illness. This is the third post and second miasm, so check out the general explanation and yesterdays post on Psora to learn more. Sycosis is Hahnemann’s second miasm, and is from infection with Gonorrhoea, and the name of the nosode is Medorrhinum. You do not personally have to have been infected with gonorrhoea, or even in your parents or grandparents. It

This week we are exploring Miasmatic theory, what Hahnemann called our predisposition to disease, which covers inherited patterns of illness. Let’s start at the beginning. Hahnemann believed that 85% of disease originated with Psora, and is the foundation of human suffering. In fact that all disease that was not sexually transmitted had its roots in Psora. Psora, or “the itch” is the scabies mite and the nosode name is Psorinum. The scabies he refers to is also not what we

When you see a Homeopath for a full consultation you will be asked about your medical history, as well as your family history of illness and disease. We do this to get a picture of patterns of disease, and inherited tendency to disease. Samuel Hahnemann was a man well ahead of his time. He recognised that family history impacted a person’s health over a hundred years before genetics was considered in conventional medicine. He called this his Theory of Miasms,
