Diving deep into the Homeopathic theory of Miasms with Dr. Berkowsky. I can't get enough of this good stuff!

Miasms
A mini series of Dr. Berkowsky's work on Miasms

Homeopathic Concept
Root Meaning: Derived from a Greek word for "stain" or "spot".
Core Cause: Samuel Hahnemann taught that chronic illnesses stem from deep, inherited energetic blocks.
Main Types: These include Psora (deficiency/itch), Sycosis (growth), and Syphilis (destruction).

A miasm is the homeopathic concept, that Dr. Berkowsky has adapted into Spiritual PhytoEssencing, of an archetype with a characteristic pattern of archetypal images (including archetypal modes) that is transmitted from generation to generation bioenergetically rather than genetically. In SPE, it is believed that miasms can also be transmitted from one incarnation to the next along the cycle of birth, death and rebirth.

Although most of the miasms are named for particular diseases such as cancer or tuberculosis, a miasm itself is not an actual disease state, but rather, a soul archetype that generates a complex of constitutional traits and reactional tendencies that resemble the presentation and/or thematic pattern of the disease for which it is named.

Accordingly, each of the miasms has characteristic physical and emotional qualities (i.e., archetypal images) and symptoms, which, in conjunction, announce its presence. Similarly, essential oils, based upon their plant characteristics and history, the nature of the symptoms for which they are specific as well as their diverse portfolio of synchronicities (e.g., Six Element, gemstone, homeopathic remedy, etc.) have a special affinity for one or more of the miasms.

Estrogen levels naturally fluctuate and decline during perimenopause and menopause. This hormonal shift manifests on the face in several distinct ways. A "low estrogen face" is characterized by rapid collagen loss, which causes skin to look visibly thinner, drier, and less elastic. Nourish your skin and hormones with this beautiful hydrosol!

Vitex agnus-castus (commonly known as Chaste tree or Chasteberry) is widely used to support hormonal balance and ease reproductive and premenstrual discomforts. Chaste tree works by reducing inflammation and balancing hormones. It helps with conditions where your estrogen and progesterone levels rise and fall.
