Homeopathy and Epigenetics

Miasms

​Nearly 200 years ago, the founder of Homeopathy, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann realized that effects of certain diseases like Scabies, Gonorrhea, Tuberculosis and Syphilis could be present even after the acute infection was treated.
​
He also noticed that these effects could be passed on to future generations without the actual infection being acquired.  

This trans-generational effect manifested in the form of disease predispositions, which he called 'miasms'. Effects in the same generation were called ‘acquired miasms’ and effects that were present in future generations were called an ‘inherited miasm’.
