Normally homeopaths divide all their patients in three constitution or in other words in three miasms. Syphilitic, Sycotic and Psoric.

These miasms may be inheritated or acquired at any stage of life.

Constitution or miasm are same thing?

both are separate.

Miasm is a predisposition to a particlular type disease process. Constitution includes miasms and also personality, character, disposition, temperament, body type, etc. That part of the constitution that is unhealthy would be considered part of the miasm, and the non-miasmatic portion of the constitution is healthy.

We don't prescribe on the healthy part of the constitution. However, when we say that a particular remedy is common for a certain constitution, what that means is that during the provings, people of that constitutional makeup responded more intensely or more frequently than those of other constitutions.

very good explaination thank you. Shirley

I am thinking about a point. In the treatment of certain chronic diseases, homeopath experiences blockage, some of them called hurldles, some of them named them miasm. If miasm is so called HURDLE. Then any thing which act as a hurdle, could be declare as a miasm.

One of the main reason of not discussing scientific subjects in scientific forum is, no proper person having good qualification in the relevent field is moderating that forum. Jon Haworth the ownner of this site is not homeopath. Moderating that forum from his own site is not logical. His wife is a homeopath. His son is in his twenties and doing his studies. That is why I think he should appoint some other proper qualified moderator for scientific validity forum.

There are many hurdles and miasms are one of the hurdles. But there are many other things that could be hurdles; obstacles to cure, maintaining causes, life style, incompetent homeopath, etc.

when we will see miasm in the patient we will find the remedy which will be different from that remedy which we will find after considering constitution of the patient.?
