 INTRODUCTION:

CHARACTERISTICS OF LATENT PSORA

● Psoric patients are alert, quick and active both in
mental and physical aspect. But they are easily
fatigued by mental or physical work.
● Psoric individuals experience flushes of heat
during work.
● Psoric patients are very anxious and fearful. We
come across all types of anxiety in them.
● They cannot concentrate. Concentration is very
difficult.
● They are restless.
● Fits of anger without any desire to harm anyone.
● Sorrow and grief easily influence them. This often leads to outbreak of acute
diseases.
● Much depression of spirits.
● All psoric manifestations are better by eliminative
functions.

PSORIC PRESENTATION IN FEMALE PATIENTS:

MENTAL SYMPTOMS:
The change of temperament without any apparent
cause is part of the cycle. They become hysterical and
go into fits of temper. Young people particularly become
hysterical, especially after acute weakening diseases.
Psora has fits of anger, yet with these fits of anger there
is seldom any desire to harm others in the purely psoric
case; but if the psoric base is united with sycosis or
syphilis, there is a decided tendency to harm, or even to
kill others.
The greatest force to rouse the evils of the psoric
dyscrasia is grief or sorrow. These emotions seem to
have particular power in bringing out the exacerbations,
and people under the influence of grief and sorrow will
often develop immediately some acute sickness.
Psoric patients have much depression of spirits. If the
patient is a woman, she will suddenly burst out crying,
which relieves the whole condition. When they get into
this depressed condition everyone knows of their
troubles, because they are not accustomed to silent
grief. Melancholy patients on awakening from sleep
have heart palpitation, and they become nervous and
anxious, with a sense of constriction about the heart;
then they will have flushes of heat. In these conditions
they will pass from depression of spirits into moodiness,
sulkiness or fits of temper, then suddenly come out of
these moods and act like entirely different persons.
FEMALE COMPLAINTS:
Sterility, impotence, without any original organic defect
in the sexual parts. 3
Disorders of the menstrual function; the menses do not
appear regularly on the twenty-eighth day after their last
appearance, they do not come on without other ailments
and not at once, and do not continue steadily for three or
four days with a moderate quantity of healthy-colored,
mild blood, until on the fourth day it imperceptibly comes
to an end without any disturbance of the general health
of body and spirit; nor are the menses continued to the
forty-eighth or fiftieth year, nor do they cease gradually
and without any troubles.
The menses are slow in setting in after the fifteenth
year and later, or after appearing one or more times,
they cease for several months and for years. 4
The menses do not keep their regular periods, they
either come several days too early, sometimes every
three weeks, or even every fortnight. 1
The menses flow only one day, only a few hours, or in
imperceptibly small quantities.
The menses flow for five, six, eight and more days, but
only intermittently, a little flow every six, twelve, twenty-
four hours, and then they cease for half or whole days,
before more is discharged.
The menses flow too strongly, for weeks, or return
almost daily (bloody flux). 2
Menses of watery blood or of brown clots of blood.
Menses of very fetid blood.
Menses accompanied with many ailments, swoons or
(mostly stitching) headaches, or contractive, spasmodic,
cutting pains in the abdomen and in the small of the
back; she is obliged to lie down, vomit, etc.
Polypi in the vagina.
Leucorrhoea from the vagina, one or several days
before, or soon after, the monthly flow of blood, or
during the whole time from the one menstrual discharge
to the other, with a diminution of the menses, or
continuing solely instead of the menses; the flow is like
milk, or like white, or yellow mucus, or like acrid, or
sometimes like fetid, water. 3
Premature births.
During pregnancies great weariness, nausea, frequent
vomiting, swoons, painful varicose veins on the thighs
and the legs, and also at times on the labia, hysteric
ailments of various kinds, etc.
Glandular swellings around the neck, in the groin, in the
bend of the joints, the bend of the elbow, of the knee, in
the axillae, 4 also in the breasts.
Perspiration comes too easily from slight motion; even
while sitting, he is attacked with perspiration all over, or
merely on some parts; e. g., almost constant
perspiration of the hands and feet, so also strong
perspiration in the axillae and around the pudenda.
Daily morning sweats, often causing the patient to drip,
this for many years, often with sour or pungent-sour
smell.
One-sided perspiration, only on one side of the body, or
only on the upper part of the body, or only on the lower
part.
Increasing susceptibility to colds, either of the whole
body (often even from repeatedly wetting the hands,
now with warm water, then with cold, as in washing
clothes), or only susceptibility of certain parts of the
body, of the head, the neck, the chest, the abdomen, the
feet, etc., often in a moderate or slight draught, or after
slightly moistening these parts; even from being in a
cooler room, in a rainy atmosphere, or with a low
barometer.

DISCUSSION:
These are some of the leading symptoms observed by
me, which, if they are often repeated, or become
constant, show that the internal Psora is coming forth
from its latent state. They are at the same time the
elements, from which (under unfavorable external
conditions) the itch-malady, as it manifests itself,
composes the illimitable number of chronic diseases,
and with one man assumes the one form, with another
another, according to the bodily constitution, defects in
the education habits, employment and external
circumstances, as also modified by the various psychical
and physical impressions. It thus unfolds into manifold
forms of disease, with so many varieties, that they are
by no means exhausted by the disease-symptoms
enumerated in the pathology of the old school, and
erroneously designated there as well-defined, constant
and peculiar diseases.
SUMMARY:
A woman’s mood is very closely related to her
gynecological conditions which can upset her sense of
well-being, her feelings about her sexuality (Psora), her
femininity (Psora), and her self-respect (Psora/ Sycosis).
The arising picture of signs and symptoms may affect
her intimate relationships and bring greater distress than
 any other disease. Women with gynecological problems
often come into view tense (Psora) and anxious (Psora/
Psudopsora). This may be just because of the nature of
the private questions and examinations by a doctor
which they anticipate with apprehension (Psora/
Syphilis). Some women present distressed (Psora) and
tearful (Psora/ Pseudopsora). They may feel shame
(Psora/ Pseudopsora) and disgust about their symptoms
(Psora/ Pseudopsora/ Sycosis). This may be because of
the reaction of others (Psora/ Pseudopsora / Syphilis)
too. Many women find the whole consultation a torment.
The examination can remind a woman of previous
threatening situations such as rape or childhood sexual
abuse, or past experience of painful or demeaning
examinations by previous clinicians (Psora/ Syphilis).

Some situations like termination of pregnancy or

sexually transmitted disease (Sycosis/ Syphilis) need
very painful judgment with great anxiety (Psora) and
apprehension (Psora/ Pseodopsora). In some cases
mood is disturbed (Psora/ Sycosis/ Syphilis) but not
primarily by gynecological cause, rather psychological or
social.
