In homoeopathy, Psora is considered the fundamental miasm, often referred to as the “itch” or “scabies” miasm. It represents a state of hypersensitivity and susceptibility to disease. Here are some key desires and aversions associated with Psora:
1. Desires
-Desire for Relief: Individuals with Psora often have a strong desire to alleviate their discomfort, whether it’s physical itching, emotional unease, or general malaise.
-Desire for Improvement: They have a tendency to seek ways to improve their condition, often through remedies, lifestyle changes, or other means of self-care.
-Desire for Comfort: There is a strong inclination towards finding comfort, whether through warmth, rest, or other soothing measures.
2. Aversions
-Aversion to Discomfort: People with Psora typically have an aversion to anything that causes discomfort, such as extreme temperatures, rough textures, or stressful situations.
-Aversion to Neglect: They may have an aversion to being neglected or ignored, as they seek attention and care to address their sensitivities.
-Aversion to Overexertion: There is often an aversion to overexertion or strenuous activities, as they may exacerbate their symptoms.
In homoeopathy, individuals with a psoric miasm exhibit specific food desires and aversions that reflect their underlying susceptibility. Here are the key characteristics:
1. Food Desires
-Sweet Foods: A strong craving for sweets and sugary items is common.
-Fatty Foods: Desire for rich, fatty foods like butter, cream, and fried foods.
-Starchy Foods: Cravings for bread, pastries, and other starchy items.
-Warm Drinks: A preference for warm beverages, such as tea or warm milk.
-Spicy Foods: A tendency to enjoy mildly spiced foods.
2. Food Aversions
-Sour Foods: Aversion to sour items like citrus fruits, vinegar, and pickles.
-Bitter Foods: Dislike for bitter-tasting foods such as certain vegetables (e.g., bitter gourd).
-Cold Foods and Drinks: A tendency to avoid cold foods and beverages, preferring warmth.
-Rich Foods: Despite sometimes craving rich foods, there can be an aversion to very heavy, greasy meals if they feel unwell.
-Salt: Occasional dislike for overly salty foods.
These desires and aversions help homoeopaths to individualize their treatment, ensuring that the chosen remedy aligns closely with the patient’s unique symptom profile.
