Miasmatic Cases in Practice

Summary

In long-term case practice, miasmatic theory, a principle of homeopathy as given by Hahnemann in the Organon, needs individual study. Miasms are the fundamental causes of all chronic illness, appearing in phases of activity or quiescence. Miasms are the requisites for understanding the individual illness and tracing the picture of the disease.

Key words

Miasms - Chronic diseases - Long-term case management - Anthracinum - Pyrogenium - Psorinum - Carbo vegetabilis - Thuja - Pulsatilla - Arsenicum album - Nitricum acidum - Guaiacum
