Miasma (The Road Less Travelled) By Dr Harsh Nigam

Dr. Harsh Nigam’s object is to expose why knowledge of miasm is essential and how to know the basic background of all chronic diseases and thereby give the incurable disease a perfect “TRUE CURE”.A good Homeopathic physician is an asclepiad who knows he is an instrument and that his duty is to keep his patient free from miasmatic affections which hinder the enjoyment of individuality and that his sacred mission is to preserve health.The miasm represent everything that has been super imposed on the essential being of an individual whether from environment or acquired by error, they also represent a false personality that is a personality which does not correspond faithfully to his intimate essential nature.Deformation of the natural symptoms or symptom patterns are causes by suppressive therapeutics and sometime due to enantiopathic, allopathic or pseudo homeopathic therapies which stimulate miasmatic episodes, hence it is essential to know the miasmas.The homeopathic remedy, that is the true similimum prescribed one after another through time will liberate this essential nature of man and reintegrate it back to harmony thus it stimulates and impels the individual towards true cure.The student of homeopathy will get the pleasure of true cure of chronic diseases, by the help of this work which is timely, crisp and clear in content keeping the true dynamic thought of concept of miasma alive and co-relating it beautifully with modern concepts specially immunity.Plan of study of the book- The book has 7 sectionsFor the beginner in Homoeopathy it is suggested to read section I and section II thoroughly. Section III would simulate modern medical student and would give some modern explanation to the concept of miasma. For under graduates: After reading section I, II, III, thereafter read section V followed by section VII. Secondly for the postgraduate student: grasp whole of section IV and section V then study section VII. In your OPD's apply section VI on cases and analyse the results. Lastly to the reader who is adept in homoeopathy: I shall implore to study and ponder upon section IV the potential study of miasma section VI miasmatic case management because it shall give them ideas and tips from past masters on how to tackle Chronic disease. To the adept I would also urge to study the entire Materia Medica of five nosode especially Carcinosin.
