About The Miasms:
The term miasm means “noxious influence”. A miasm is most simply defined as a person's inherited disease group. Every human has an inherited miasm and with inherited responses that have been passed down from one generation to the next generation. A miasm is either (1) active, (2) inactive (latent) or (3) exposed. Miasms are either inherited, meaning passed down through family genetics {transgenerational}, or they can also be acquired, such as through developing the disease of gonorrhea or syphilis, sexually transmitted. Miasms are responsible for all chronic dis-eases of any type.
The miasm theory was first introduced by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann, a German medical doctor and founder of homeopathy in his book The Chronic Diseases which was published in 1828. As the result his clinical work for 12 years on many complex cases, Hahnemann discovered the chronic characteristics and disease history of mankind and put these into three distinct categories of disease. These three disease groups were named as Psora (psoric miasm), Sycosis (sycotic miasm) and Syphilis (syphilitic miasm). Miasms have a significant impact on the susceptibility of the individual to acute and chronic diseases, and impact a person’s mental/emotional state, their physical reactions to stress or to the environment and how allopathic drugs, pathogens or how va((inations will impact them. 💉
🧩1. The Psoric Miasm (Psora)
The word “psora” is derived from the Hebrew ‘tsorat' and Greek ‘psora' which means a groove or stigma. Psora is called the miasm of deficiency. Psora is rooted as a miasm in the disease of leprosy and is derived from skin eruptions of various types, including as scabies (itch), leprosy and psoriasis. Hahnemann determined that psora was spread through skin to skin contract in humans and also in animals. Psora starts as an itching eruption of the skin and is very contagious. All babies are exposed to the transfer of psora during pregnancy and the birth process from the mother. After contact, psora is immediately transmitted by the nervous system throughout the entire body because it is spread via the skin. Every human being will have psora and it is considered to be the “mother” of all chronic disease. Since all human beings will have psora, it is therefore responsible for the largest percentage of all chronic human disease. For this reason, Hahnemann referred to psora as a “hydra-headed monster”.
On the physical plane, the psoric miasm is expressed as itchy skin, lesions, eruptions, vesicles or other skin related conditions. This includes skin diseases things like psoriasis, eczema and extends to allergies and asthma. There can be offensive discharges, itchy and oozing skin, eczema, psoriasis and other skin conditions that itch, sometimes very violently, and with or without vesicles or other eruptions. Psora also has the symptoms of joint inflammation and arthritic conditions. The psoric person often has chronic ear infections and they may suffer from hay fever, allergies, sinus infections and asthma. They are worse for cold or open air and better for warmth of any type.
On the mental/emotional plane, psora has a mental restlessness, and this is why it is also referred to as the “itchy mind”. There is anxiousness and also hunger at night. The person may over eat due to stress, worry and anxiety. There can be feelings of being forsaken, despair, anxiety about the future or any situation. The psoric miasm has strong religions affections. At the same time, there can be obsessive, negative and strong emotional reactions to grief, fear and loss. With psora there are many types of constant worries as well, such as fear of change, fear of health and fear of poverty. There can be hopeless as well as guilt and melancholy.
🧩 2. The Sycotic Miasm (Sycosis)
The word sycosis derives from the word “syco”, Greek word for fig. Sycosis is named the “fig wart disease” and is the miasm of excess. Sycosis is derived from the disease of gonorrhea, either inherited – meaning transferred in its suppressed state down from one generation to the next or acquired. The wart came to be seen as the underlying physical symptom of this miasm and sycosis responsible for all warty excrescences and growths.
On the physical plane, there is swelling in the joints (edema) and connective tissues as well as arthritis and rheumatism. Sycosis has connected to asthma or a family history of asthma. Mucus discharges and catarrhs are thick and constant. There growths of warts, moles and also eczema. Arthritis, rheumatism, asthma, catarrhs, bronchitis, cystitis and urinary ailments are all partly or mainly sycotic in character. There can be thick, course and excessive growth of hair and ridged or thick nails. The sycotic miasm is responsible for many sexual and urinary disorders as well as affections of the joints and mucous membranes. The reproductive and hormonal problems associated with sycotic miasm including dysmenorrhea (menstrual cramps), herpes, ectopic pregnancies (blockages of the fallopian tubes), miscarriages, menstrual difficulties and sterility. Chronic or long term inflammation of joints, arthritis and cystitis are part of this disease group.
On the mental/emotional plane, with sycosis there can be suspiciousness, secretiveness, mischievousness, forgetfulness and absentmindedness. This is the miasm of excess. Because sycosis is the miasm of excess, the phrase “sex, drugs and rock ‘n roll” symbolizes the idea sycosis at work and represents the excessive nature of the sycotic mind and behaviors. There is a compulsive nature in this miasm. This also includes “work-aholism”, chronic over work, ambition, striving to achieve more success, more possessions. Compulsive behaviors and desires in life is also part of this miasm.

This is the nosode made from gonorrhea and it is used in homeopathic practice to treat cases when appropriate.
Banner headlines and tabloid statements are not usually the best introduction to a homeopathic remedy but Medorrhinum, fixed so firmly in the sycotic miasm, lends itself to that sort of introduction. The miasm, sycosis, has fixed ideas and a certain rigidity about it and is the miasm of over production.
