(* Some portion of the book can be viewed
at our website).Why Should We Know Miasm?
A thorough dissection and incorporation of miasm in
each case will help a homoeopathic prescriber in the following ways :
- A deep acting anti-miasmatic medicine by virtue of its centrifugal
action will open up such cases (brings to the surface the suppressed
symptoms) where the totality of symptoms cannot be framed due to a
scarcity of symptoms (i.e. one-sided cases), and those cases with
conjoint or contaminated pictures due to various physical, emotional
or iatrogenic suppressions.- Also of importance is the value of selecting an anti-miasmatic
medicine, which covers the psychic essence, nature and character of
the individual in absence of any recognisable totality. For example, a
patient presents with insomnia with no distinguishing modalities or
other characters to complete the symptom. By ascertaining that person’s
psychic essence or character (for instance, suspicious, jealous and
exploiting in nature, representing sycosis) we can prescribe an
anti-miasmatic medicine to cover the insomnia and open up the case.
Thus, the anti-miasmatic medicine covering the essence of the person
is capable of surfacing the suppressed symptoms and the totality can
then easily be framed.- To be more confident in prescribing by including the surface miasm
of the case in the consideration of the totality; as miasm, the
dyscrasia of the person, constitutes a major part of that totality.
Miasm and the symptoms are nothing but the two sides of the coin, and
one cannot be considered whilst ignoring the other. In fact, the
totality of symptoms cannot be said to be total until and unless the
selected remedy covers the miasm.- To evaluate the necessity of a change in the plan of treatment or a
change of remedy; when few symptoms have disappeared after the first
remedy has been administered, yet the miasmatic totality shows the
preponderance of the same miasm on the surface as that which was
originally covered by the initial remedy. It indicates that the
prescriber can stay with that initial remedy, as can be seen from the
following example: a patient came with the presenting symptom of
facial wart, for which Causticum was prescribed. As this medicine
covers the miasm (here in this case, sycosis) as well as the symptom,
the wart has fallen off; and the next suppressed layer, perhaps a
profuse yellowish leucorrhoea (which was previously suppressed by
cauterisation) comes to the surface. This symptom too is a sycotic
manifestation, and is also covered by Causticum, then that remedy will
totally eradicate the problem. So knowledge of miasm guides us to stay
with the remedy and to allow its full and complete action.- To evaluate the homoeopathic prognosis of the case, as removal of
layers of suppression are manifested as clarity of symptoms and also
reflected by a quantum jump in the sense of well being. Deep acting
anti-miasmatic medicines by virtue of their centrifugal action will
remove the layers of suppression which can be evidenced as follows :(a) A quantum jump in the sense of well being; (b)
Improved energy; (c) Increased appetite; (d) Better quality of sleep;
(e) Harmony and tranquillity of temperament; (f) Stability (in obese
people) or weight gain in under weight subjects; (g) Clarity of the
existing or presenting symptoms or even lighter symptoms; (h) Suppressed
symptoms (even of years ago) reappear on the surface and are permanently
eradicated. This reappearance can be in a very transient form, which may
not even be visible to the naked eye.- To fulfil Hahnemann’s three injunctions of cure: rapid, gentle and
permanent.(vii) Anti-miasmatic medicines help to clear up the
suppressions (in relation to the past); clear up the presenting
symptoms from their root or origin (in relation to the present); and
clear up the susceptibility to get infection and thereby strengthening
the constitution (in relation to the prophylactic aspect or future).
