Chronic Miasmas
An overview of miasmatic theory and practice
The chronic miasmas are the forsaken children of Homeopathy. Either they are roundly ignored or they are mentioned only in passing in many texts and treatises. Yet, the chronic miasmas are, directly or indirectly, the mother lode of all diseases currently known and still to be known by Humanity. Here I am going to describe Psora, the first of the three classic chronic miasmas originally studied and described by Dr. Hahnemann. I am then going to describe the other two, Sycosis and Syphilis. These chronic miasmas are like the three successive stops or stations in the downward path toward self-annihilation. After that I will also describe the chronic miasmas Tuberculinism and Cancerinism, that configure the profile of patients prone to fall ill with tuberculosis and malignant solid tumors, respectively.
The majestic harmony of the Universe is maintained through order and balance. All creatures are part of the Universe. When in balance, Whole Human Beings partake of Universal harmony and thrive and develop within it. Balanced Human Beings are aware that they, as well as every other creature, participate of this Harmony as part of the Universal Whole. There is a sense of profound joy and fulfillment in identifying with the Universe and its magnificent Harmony. Universal energy vitalizes and fortifies well-balanced Whole Human Beings, and this strength allows them to love, grow and identify with the Universe in all of its manifestations.
