In the difficult field of anti-miasmatic therapeutics we all have one thing working for us: many of the remedies used even in pure pathological prescribing are in fact anti-miasmatic agents: eg, Sulphur: without taking any miasmatic indications whatsoever into consideration, a case of eczema may present the characteristic local and concommitant specific indications for Sulphur, and the prescriber selects it and exhibits it. Now, in fact in this particular case Sulphur might be a principal anti-miasmatic remedy for that individual, and of course the remedy would "work" toward the resolution of the miasm even though the prescriber had no thought of this when selecting the remedy along clinical homeopathic lines. We are probably quite often dealing with miasmatic causes with many of our remedies even when we are not specifically taking the miasmatic element into consideration in selecting the remedies.
