Classification of Miasms in Homeopathy

Homeopathic miasms are energetic predispositions underlying chronic (and some acute) disease patterns. Broadly, they’re classified into:

1. Chronic Miasms
– Psora
The “itch-miasm,” root of most non-venereal chronic disorders—skin eruptions, allergies, hypersensitivities.
– Sycosis
The “fig-warty miasm,” marked by overgrowths and hypertrophic tendencies—warts, polyps, excessive secretions.
– Syphilis
The “ulcerative-destructive miasm,” leading to relentless tissue breakdown, deep ulcers, necroses.
– Pseudo-Psora (Tubercular)
Introduced by J.H. Allen to account for tubercular and respiratory tendencies—weak lungs, head-sweats, offensive discharges.

2. Acute Miasms
(Also called “primary” or “episodic” miasms—tied to infectious fevers.)
– Smallpox miasm
– Measles miasm
– Scarlatina (scarlet fever) miasm
– Cholera miasm
– & others

3. Modern Extensions
Beyond Hahnemann’s original schema, many contemporary homeopaths recognize additional miasms—
– Cancer miasm (neoplastic predisposition)
– Ringworm miasm (fungal-like chronicity)
– AIDS miasm (profound immunosuppression)
– Atopic miasm (hereditary allergy, eczema)

— each viewed as a specialized energetic layer superimposed on the classic triad.
