Miasm.(Entropy)-1. Hippocrates was the first physician to use the term miasm which has its origins in the Greek word for taint or fault.In late 18th century it was a common belief that miasms were impure airs that were responsible for the spread of epidemic diseases. A Dutch naturalist named van Leeuwenhoek invented the microscope and published his observations of small living animalcules before in his death in 1723. In Hahnemannian Homoeopathy the word miasm means the dynamic effects of microorganisms on the vital force including the symptoms that are being suppressed and transmitted to the following generations in different form of disease condition. Comparing the miasm in light of modern physics is nothing but entropy (ref. the second law of thermodynamics). we can divide miasm in to two groups 1. functional 2. structural. Functional miasm is purely similar to psora and the structural miasm is equivalent to sycosis and syphilitic,and miasm is nothing but an imbalance of the fundamental forces in an living organism, there is no existence of miasm unless there is suppression of symptoms,,,to be continued.
