Sankaran Analysis for RADAR and EH

Rajan Sankaran, MD
Since this download depends heavily on the concept of miasms, I thought it necessary to incorporate
a summary of the miasms. What follows is

1. A short summary of each miasm

2. A chart explaining various aspects of each miasm
3. The key words of the miasm

For a detailed understanding of miasms the reader can refer to my books, The Substance of
Homoeopathy and The System of Homoeopathy.

This work should not be looked upon as a final word, but as an evolutionary process.
It must also be remembered that a remedy belonging to a particular miasm will have qualities of the
miasm before and after it.

Many remedies are absent from this categorization because I was not sure where to place them and
had no clinical experience. This fact must be kept in mind when using this material.

Please keep in touch with updates to this work, either through wholehealthnow.com or through my

-- Short Summaries --
Acute miasm:
The feeling is of an acute threat and the reaction is strong and instinctive.

Some remedies:
Aconitum, Belladonna, Stramonium, Veratrum-album, Arnica, Croton-tig, Chocolate

Note: I had earlier classified Hyoscyamus as belonging to the acute miasm. With my further work on
miasms I have classified it as a typhoid miasm remedy.

Typhoid miasm:
The feeling is that of a critical situation which, if properly handled for a
critical period, will end in total recovery. The reaction is an intense struggle against it.

Some remedies:
Bryonia, Nux vomica, Rhus-tox, Chamomilla, Hyoscyamus, Baptisia, Paris-q, Nux-m

1
Psora:
The feeling is that of a difficult situation where one has to struggle in order to succeed. There is
anxiety with doubts about his ability, but he is hopeful and failure does not mean the end of the world.
He must struggle in order to recover or maintain his position.

Some remedies:
Sulphur, Psorinum, and Lycopodium.

(Note: I didn't find any plant remedies that fit my definition of the psoric miasm. I also found that the
plant remedies that were previously thought to be psoric, for e.g. Nux-v, Bry, fit very well in to the
typhoid, ringworm and malarial miasms, and therefore I classify them as such. I believe that my
classification of miasms has replaced the previous three, and the so-called psoric remedies have
been placed in the newer miasms.)

Malarial miasm:
There is an acute feeling of threat that comes up intermittently, in phases, between which there is an
underlying chronic, fixed feeling of being deficient. This miasm is characterized by sudden, acute
manifestations that come up from time to time, followed by periods of quiescence.

Some remedies:
Berb-v, Capsicum, Cina, China, Colocynthis, and Spigelia.

Ringworm miasm:
It is characterized by an alternation between periods of struggle with anxiety about success, and
periods of despair and giving up.

Some remedies:
Calcarea sulphurica, Calcarea Silicata, Magnesium sulphuricum, Teucrium, Sarsaparilla, Dulcamara,
Taraxacum.

Sycosis:
The feeling is that there is a fixed, irremediable weakness within the self. The action is to attempt to
cope with it and hide it from others; hence he covers it up with egotism, compulsive acts, is very
secretive, etc.

Some remedies:
Copaiva, Medorrhinum, Mangifera, Pulsatilla, Sabadilla, and Thuja.

Cancer miasm:
There is a feeling of weakness and incapacity within, and the need to perform exceedingly well and
live up to very high expectations. The reaction is a superhuman effort, stretching himself beyond the
limits of his capacity. It is continuous, prolonged struggle which seems to have no end. His survival
depends on it, for failure would mean death and destruction.

Some remedies:
Anacardium, Anhalonium, Bellis-per, Carcinosinum, Nitricum acidum, Argentum nitricum, Ignatia, and
Staphysagria.

Tubercular miasm:

2
The feeling is of intense oppression and a desire for change. The
reaction is intense, hectic activity in order to break free from this oppression.

Some remedies:
Abrotanum, Acalypha-indica, Agraphis, Tuberculinum, Drosera, Calcarea p., Balsum-p.

Leprosy miasm:
The feeling is of intense oppression, intense hopelessness, isolation and an intense desire for
change.

Some remedies:
Secale, Hura, Ocimum-s, Aloe, Cicuta, Mandragora.

Syphilis:
The feeling is that he is faced with a situation beyond salvage, leading to complete hopelessness
and despair. In a desperate effort, he tries to change the situation and the result is usually
destruction.

Some remedies:
Mercurius solubilis, Syphilinum, Aurum metallicum, Baryta carbonica, Hoang-nan, Leptandra,
Echinacea, Clematis erecta.

VALUE OF KEY WORDS:

In a case or remedy if these keywords occur, they point to the relevant miasm. They are helpful in
order to decide which remedy fits into which miasm. If for a given remedy you want to find the
miasm, you can see which keywords appear in that remedy.

For example, if the remedy for the cancer miasm in the Umbelliferae family needs to be identified, a
search can be done with Umbelliferae and some key words of the cancer miasm and see what
remedies emerge.
