psora/animals

[Theresa Partington]

Hi Ellen,

A newish book that i have read (and reviewed ) recently is Colin Griffith's the Companion to Homeopathy. About 1/2 of it is about miasmatic theory.

I have always been a great fan of Burnett's and as far as application of miasmatic theory goes, he has been an influence. Unfortunately he doesn't 'explain' his individual cases as well as someone publishing would be expected to now! I do actually use nosodes a lot in practice, myself, as he did.

It can all be confusing especially when some homeopaths seem to get perfectly good results without thinking about them at all! At the end of the day I suppose we just have to trust the vital force to lead us where we need to go and assess each case on an individual basis...

I am of your mind set, psora is quite speculative. However, what people are saying is in homeopathic treatment, it is a useful concept. So, I am trying to learn the characteristics of some miasmatically strong remedies in detail. I am using Miasmatic Prescribing by S. K. Banerjea and I have Roberts and the books in the EH. Any other good suggestions? I am looking just at one remedy at a time, Mercury right now. I am picking out rubrics which are syphilitic and separating them from rubrics which are more characteristic of only Mercury. Often, I can't see the forest for the trees, but after doing this with a number of remedies, I think I will feel more concrete about the miasmatic pictures. Does anyone have any other ideas about how to go about
