Exciting causes: exciting causes bring about acute diseases or acute exacerbation of chronic diseases. The exciting causes are often referred to as ailments. There is no miasmatic origin. In Aphorism 73, Dr. C.F.S.Hahnemann described four types of exciting causes.
• Physical causes: excess of food; Exposure to heat & cold; Change in weather; getting wet, ETC.
• Mechanical causes: Trauma; Burn; Animal bite, ETC.
• Mental: Fear; Grief; Emotion; Jealousy, ETC.
• Acute miasm: Plague; Asiatic cholera, ETC.
Fundamental causes: fundamental causes are that are responsible for the occurrence of all true chronic diseases. This cause has a miasmatic origin.
Miasma: the dynamic disease-producing power which pollutes the human organism and becomes the producer of every possible disease condition. They are three types:
• Psora.
• Syphilis.
• Sycosis.
Maintaining causes: maintaining causes are responsible for the continuity of diseases. The diseases exist so long as their causes are present and have an influence. If the person is removed from the influences, the disease disappears automatically. Example: an occupational hazard.
