Four Types of Miasms

There are four types of miasms, including the planetary, inherited, acquired, and stellar miasms. Planetary miasms are stored in the collective consciousness of the planet and in the ethers. They may penetrate the physical body, but are not stored there. Inherited miasms are stored in the cellular memory of individuals. Acquired miasms are acute or infectious diseases or petrochemical toxicity acquired during a given lifetime. After the acute phase of an illness, these acquired miasmatic traits settle into the subtle bodies and the molecular and cellular levels, where they ultimately may cause other problems.  These four levels of miasms can aggravate the body, preparing the system for more miasms to develop. 

Hahnemann stated that there are three inherited miasms; psora, syphilitic and sycotic. Most homeopaths today accept this principle. With the psora miasms, one manifests an imbalance in the rhythmic functions of the body, general mental and physical irritation, numerous skin disorders congestive states and deformities in the bone structure. Such people are usually tired and mentally alert but often anxious, timid and perhaps sad or depressed. Hahnemann said, "psora is the mother of all disease."      

The syphilitic miasms, which is partly caused by syphilis, has a destructive effect on all tissues, especially bones. Imbalances in the eliminatory functions often lead to ulcers. Cardiac and neurological symptoms abound. Meningitis exemplifies this trend. Such people are easily upset sentimental and irritable and suspicious. 

The sycotic miasm, which is partly caused by gonorrhea, produces disordered assimilation leading to deposits, congestion and tumor formation. Disorders often occur in the pelvic and sexual areas, skin, digestive, respiratory and urinary tract. Rheumatism of the small joints is another problem with this miasms. These people tend to be fearful, nervous and morally degenerate.  

In the 1880's, a debate developed in homeopathic circles concerning whether or not tuberculosis was a fourth inherited miasm. Many today consider it a fourth inherited miasm and the channeled guidance agrees. With this miasm one is prone to respiratory, circulatory, urinary,  and digestive problems. Mental illness and cancer also develop. Chilliness and weight loss likewise occur. Such individuals cannot make decisions or face the realities of life in a stable fashion. They have a lively imagination, an artistic sense, and a flight from material reality.

One of the most important pieces of new information that I have learned in the channeling is that there are now two, and soon three, new inherited miasms. Except in a few instances, this is not understood in homeopathic circles. These new miasms are the radiation and petrochemical miasms.
