What is psoric miasm?
During Hahnemann’s time, the term ‘Psora’ was used for almost all the skin troubles. Hahnemann defined Psora as “the oldest, most universal, most pernicious and yet that least known of the chronic miasmatic disease, which has been deforming and torturing the nations for thousands of years.” HahnemanRead more
During Hahnemann’s time, the term ‘Psora’ was used for almost all the skin troubles. Hahnemann defined Psora as “the oldest, most universal, most pernicious and yet that least known of the chronic miasmatic disease, which has been deforming and torturing the nations for thousands of years.”
Hahnemann’s greatest principle in the treatment of psora was that no skin eruption shall be removed by external remedies or applications. He realized that a skin eruption is not a local disease but a manifestation of an internal disorder. Over the period with the advancement in science and technology, we can state that psora represents much more than only skin eruption.
Psora miasm is carried from generation to generation increasing the susceptibility to disease. The fundamental of Psoric miasm is hypersensitivity or deficiency/lack.

Pseudo-chronic disease:
Synonyms: false chronic diseases; inappropriate chronic diseases.
Pseudo-chronic diseases are those diseases that are caused by some avoidable maintaining cause. They are not caused by any Hahnemannian fundamental miasma. Avoidable maintaining causes means any maintaining cause which can be avoided, which is avoidable if one tries on a daily basis to avoid it; then you can prevent these pseudo-chronic diseases. they have all the characteristics of chronic diseases except one that they are not caused by Hahnemanniun miasma. They progress slowly, and gradually like as true chronic diseases; if maintaining cause is not removed at a time, they suffer a patient for a long period of time like as true chronic diseases.
• Those who are continuously exposed to toxic influences that could be avoided. Often this includes occupational hazards like working in smoking areas/bars, in industrial polluted areas, in chemical factories producing toxic products, nuclear reactors, etc.
See less• Those who continue to take alcohol; tobacco and medicinal preparations that are already showing their damaging effect on health, or continue with their use of narcotic drugs however mild.
• Those who abstain from balanced diets and eat just a few selected foods. Or others get onto extreme diet protocols. Some people are too poor to afford balanced diets, and simply eat what they have in their back gardens. Malnourishment is a major problem in many areas of the world.
• Those that live in marshy area, small closed, and confined in large cities where land and housing is a premium. People live in shanty towns and slums where ventilation, sanitation, and space are severely limited.

*** The need to distinguish between acute and chronic disease:
**In disease diagnosis: Acute diseases have sudden onset & short lasting in nature. For this region, acute disease suddenly can make severe pathology and complication. Sometimes, this condition may be fatal for patients. On the other hand in chronic disease, Chronic disease is a disease that arises from chronic miasm having the following characteristics as Gradual, insidious, imperceptible beginning. Unlimited lifelong sufferings. Is not extinguished by vital force alone. No tendency to decline or recovery may continue through the next generations unless treated Homoeopathically. Destroys the organism in the long run if untreated. so, knowledge of the capacity difference between acute & chronic disease gives helps the physician to make the treatment diagram of the patients.
** In medicine selection: in our Materia Medica, there has some medicine in acute & short acting in nature. On the other hand, there has much more medicine that can make influence the constitution, miasm, and mind of the patients & can give long-lasting effects in nature. so, knowledge of the capacity difference between acute & chronic disease gives helps the physician for select the proper medicine for proper cases.
** To make a treatment diagram: the management procedure of acute & chronic disease is not equal. In acute disease, we should give rapid management for patients to save their life.
**For an understanding of Posology & dose: in acute diseases, we should use lower to medium potency of the selected remedies; on the other hand, in chronic disease, we should use the medium to the high power of the selected remedies to avoid unwanted medicinal aggravation due to overdose or for reducing homeopathic aggravation.
**Dealing with miasm: Acute disease is originated from the acute miasm; on the other hand, chronic disease is caused by the fundamental chronic miasm. So in acute disease, we should require administration of the symptomatic similimum with acute miasm. Whereas the treatment of chronic disease there required the administration of anti-miasmatic remedies. So to select the specific anti-miasmatic remedies physicians must be possessed knowledge of disease and their comparison.
**Prognosis: To assess the prognostic value of a disease; the physician should detect the case whether it is acute or chronic. It helps to create a treatment plan to treat the case of the individual.
