what's really rocking your socks right now in the homeopathy world?!

Starting my new personal homeopathic protocol today! I’m going to be sharing all about the process here. Since I’ve been on so many different protocols with different homeopaths over the last handful of years, we’ve opted to keep my remedies I’m taking anonymous. I can’t wait to find out what they are at my 7 week follow up! Stay tuned

just a lil' something so we all can get to know each other a bit better 😃

A miasm is an inherited or acquired predisposition to disease. It's the deep layer of susceptibility that runs through a person's constitution and influences the kinds of health problems they tend to develop. The concept was introduced by Samuel Hahnemann (the 'father of homeopathy') who identified three primary miasms: Psora, Sycosis, and Syphilis (later expanded by other homeopaths). Today, we mainly focus on the Psoric, Sycotic, Syphillitic, Tubercular and Carcinogenic miasms. A miasmatic remedy is one that works at this deeper layer, addressing not just current symptoms but the underlying pattern that keeps pulling a person back into illness. One of the most common remedies we have been prescribing in RMDY Academy (the school I am currently in for my advanced practitioner of homeopathy cert) is Carcinosin. With the ever-increasing prevalence of cancer and cancer in family lines, it has been an integral part of so many individual's homeopathic protocols. It's not uncommon for me to prescribe a miasmatic remedy and a constitutional remedy for an initial prescription for an individual. This way, I KNOW that I am addressing the key components of the individuals case both in the present and if there is any predisposition that could be altering their vital force too. A few key points that may help you understand 'miasms' more: - if an individual keeps regressing even if they are on a well indicated constitutional or acute remdy, it may be a clear sign that there is some sort of deeper miasmatic layer that needs to be addressed first - your homeopath might choose a miasmatic remedy not because it matches your current symptom picture perfectly, but because it has an affinity for the deeper pattern at the core - understanding an individual's miasmatic pattern can help explain why two different individuals with similar illnesses can have totally different symptoms and their own way of expressing illness I'll dive into the specific miasms in a later post! What questions do you have about miasms?
