Constipation with pains remote; such as headaches, pain in the liver or region of the liver; constipation with baisler or temporal headaches; constipation with drowsiness, sleepiness, stupor and heaviness; with no desire to work; constipation with foul breath, foul, coated tongue nausea and loss of appetite; constipation with no stool for days, although frequent desire for stool.
Stool hard, comes in round balls like the excrement of sheep; stools look hard and dry as if burnt.
Pin worms or intestinal worms but are found more plentiful in children with TUBERCULAR taint.
Sensation of crawling and creeping.
Looseness of bowels gives a weak and languid feeling which is better when constipated. (R)
Cancerous affections, malignant growths and such diseases have as a rule ALL the miasms present, especially the SYCOTIC and the TUBERCULAR combined. PSORA can never be left out of malignancies, no matter what other element many combine with it; father them all.
URINARY ORGANS
Retention of urine in children when body becomes chilled. In old people, great distention of bladder with fullness as if extremely full; sense of constriction.
Urine will pass off, frequently involuntarily, when sneezing, coughing or laughing.
Not much pain in passing urine, a slight smarting due to often to acidity in urine. After fevers in acute diseases, the deposit is usually white, or yellowish-white, phosphate and similar deposits, occasionally it is pinkish or similar to iron rust.
Fibrous changes in kidneys.
Many urinary symptoms are due to reflexes or other diseased states, or to secondary causes, especially in women.
THE SEXUAL SPHERE
Many psychopathic sexual perversions-these may be even worse in the TUBERCULAR patient.
Functional disturbances of ovaries and uterus.
Menstrual period-usually flows are bland.
Flow scanty- of too short duration An intermittent flow, it stops and starts.
Generally offensive.
Dysmenorrhoea shows itself very early, at puberty, and at climateric.
Pains are usually sharp but never colicky.
Sulphur probably gives us a broader conception of the psoric diathesis than any other remedy.
The menstrual clots are small.
Leucorrhoea scanty, not exhausting, nothing peculiar about colour.
UPPER AND LOWER EXTREMITIES.
Neuralgia pains either PSORIC or PSEUDO-PSORIC usually better by quiet rest and warmth. Often worse motion and better rest and warmth.
Hands and feet dry, hot, often with burning sensation in palms and soles.
Cramp in lower extremities in calves of legs, in feet, toes, ankles and insteps.
Burning of soles of feet, numbness of extremities with tingling sensations, feeling as if parts were going to sleep, worse lying down or after sleep or if any pressure is brought to bear on the part, as lying lightly on the arm or crossing the limbs, etc.; pricking or tingling in fingers or extremities due to poor circulation, coldness of single parts as knees, hands, feet, ears, nose, etc.
Constant chilliness.
Chilblains are based on all the miasms- we have the PSEUDO- PSORIC taint, with a SYCOTIC element as a basis that is why they produce such a dreadful disease producing agent when suppressed by local measures.
Boils- they may depend on both PSORIC AND PSEUDO-PSORIC influences.
Small, suppurative and non-suppurative boils.
The psoric patient can walk well but it kills him to stand.
THE SKIN
Vesicle of the itch- voluptuous tickling, itching. Patient rubs and scratches, better for a few moments after which there is a long continued burning of the part affected. Late in the evening and before midnight this itching is more frequent and most unbearable.
Skin is dry, rough, dirty or unhealthy looking-has an unwashed appearance.
Pruritis.
Very little suppuration in psoric skin diseases- apt to be dry with scanty suppuration seropurulent and occasionally bloody. Eruptions often papular in form accompanied by intense itching. Usually colour of skin unless an inflammatory process is present. Itching. Scales and crusts thin and light, fine and small, and usually quite general over affected part.
Eczema- papular eruptions.
Anidrosis. Psoriasis + Have a SYCO-PSORIC Variola + base.
The malignancies of psora are prone to develop at the age of 40.
In Ichthyosis (fish skin) we find all the chronic miasms and where we find them all present, we usually bind an incurable skin disease especially if hereditary.
In Ichthyosis we see the dryness of PSORA, in the squamae of SYPHILIS and often the moles & warty eruption of sycosis.
All miasms are present in erysipelas – carcinoma- epithelioma- lupus.
In nerves or congenital marking of the skin we have all the miasms as in elephantiasis.
