This book is an outcome of clinical practice based on classical homeopathic literature and aims to show that when the basics are applied, the application is simple yet immensely fruitful. It covers the theory of miasmatic prescribing as presented by classical homeopaths as well as the applied aspects. The symptomatology is clearly distinguished between the three Miasms and all chapters are rich with clinical remedies of immense utility for the prescriber. Clinical applicability is the hallmark of this book.

For the same person to be able to establish the law of nature as a medical science, to understand the being through the vitality, to discover how medicines can be dynamized and to decode the relapsing nature of chronic diseases is quite unfathomable. It only adds to our awe of Hahnemann when we learn that he not only did all of the above but also continually strived to evolve and refine them.

"The difficulty lies not so much in developing new ideas as in escaping from old ones."

The above quote by the father of modern economics John Maynard Keynes aptly sums up the reactions received by Hahnemann's "Theory of Chronic Diseases" The concept was too radical even for Hahnemann's staunch supporters. Few appreciated it, many criticised it, and most simply ignored it. However, the fact that most of the important homeopaths who had initially been indifferent to this theory eventually became its supporters; is an ode to the importance, practicality and authenticity of this theory.

For example: Hahnemann's contemporary Griesselich wrote to Hahnemann in 1836:

"I have enquired from all homoeopaths, if they recognised psora as the original evil, and I must confess, that I do not remember one who agreed with it." However, 12 years later in 1848, he wrote a book dealing exclusively with the doctrine of psora and he says:

"The doctrine of psora with its truths is a complement to the various deficiencies in Hahnemann's homoeopathy"

It is still common that at first glance, the theory of chronic diseases by Hahnemann may not appeal to a lot of physicians. But, those who give it a genuine study and apply it would confess that beyond a certain point of your practice, the understanding and application of this theory is essential. The more one studies it and sees it practically, the more one realises its indispensability.

I write this foreword with a feeling of joy and gratitude. The long- term cooperation and friendship with the Pareek family allowed me to get to know Dr Aditya Pareek as an intelligent, modest and honest person. Moreover, he comes from a family with a long tradition of homoeopathy.

His grandfather, Dr RS Pareek, in 1956, worked together with Sir John Weir and Donald Foubister, who carried out the first experiments with Carcinosin at the Royal Homoeopathic Hospital in London.

Together with his grandfather and father, Dr Aditya Pareek has been working on the frontline with seriously ill cancer patients for several years. It will be very interesting to read the clinical part of the book, which shows the experience from their hospital in Agra.

Allow me, in all modesty, to briefly describe my view of miasms, as I was taught by my dear teacher Dr Künzli and as I have used them in my practice for more than 40 years now. It is intended as a little clinical supplement to the book.
