Of psoric origin are almost all those diseases that I have above termed one-sided, which appear to be more difficult to cure in consequence of this one-sidedness, all their other morbid symptoms disappearing, as it were, before the single, great, prominent symptom. Of this character are what are termed mental diseases. They do not, however, constitute a class of disease the condition of the disposition and mind is always altered; and in all cases of disease we are called on to cure the state of the patient’s disposition is to be particularly noted, along with the totality of the symptoms, if we would trace an accurate picture of the disease, in order to be able therefrom to treat it homoeopathically with success.
*How often, for instance, do we not meet with a mild, soft disposition in patients who have for years been afflicted with the most painful diseases, so that the physician feels constrained to esteem and compassionate the sufferer! But if he subdue the disease and restore the patient to health – as is frequently done in homoeopathic practice – he is often astonished and horrified at the frightful alteration in his disposition. He often witnesses the occurrence of ingratitude, cruelty, refined malice and propensities most disgraceful and degrading to humanity, which were precisely the qualities possessed by the patient before he grew ill.
Those who were patient when well often become obstinate, violent, hasty, or even intolerant and capricious, or impatient or disponding when ill; those formerly chaste and modest often frequently become lascivious and shameless. A clear-headed person not infrequently becomes obtuse of intellect, while one ordinarily weak-minded becomes more prudent and thoughtful; and a man slow to make up his mind sometimes acquires great presence of mind and quickness of resolve, etc.

In homeopathy, the stages of acute miasm refer to the progression of acute diseases and how they manifest in the body. Here are the typical stages:
1. Initial Stage: The disease begins suddenly, often with a clear onset of symptoms. This stage is marked by the body’s initial reaction to the pathogen or trigger.
2. Progressive Stage: Symptoms intensify and spread. The body’s response becomes more pronounced, and the disease may worsen.
3. Crisis Stage: This is the peak of the disease, where symptoms are at their most severe. The body’s vital force is engaged in a critical struggle to combat the illness.
4. Decline Stage: Symptoms start to subside as the body begins to overcome the disease. The intensity of symptoms decreases.
5. Recovery Stage: The body gradually returns to health, and symptoms disappear. The patient recovers, often leaving behind a sense of fatigue or weakness.
Understanding these stages helps homeopaths tailor their treatment to support the body’s natural healing process at each phase.
