There are literally 100's of rubrics on this
subject in the old materia medicas and
repertories. These are general symptoms of
the constitution, temperament, diathetic states
and miasms. A miasm can produce a number
of diatheses depending on the constitution
and temperament and conditioning factors.
For example, pseudo-psora TB miasm tends to
produces a hemorrhagic diathesis while
sycosis tends to an arthritic rheumatic
diathesis. If the individual is of a sanguine
temperament and acquires the TB miasm the
chance of dangerous hemorrhage is increased
greatly. This is because the fiery sanguine
temperament that rules the warm/moist blood
humour and the TB miasm both have an easy
tendency to bleed. Such knowledge forms the
basis of the homoeopathic view of
constitution, temperament, susceptibility,
miasms and diathesis.
