| In homeopathy a miasm is a disease entity that can
enter
the body similar to an infectious process or they can be present at birth and
lie dormant until something triggers its activity. The trigger
is usually attributed to unhealthy lifestyle, trauma, emotion, etc.
The miasm will become apparent first as a symptom and then as a
disease.

In conventional medicine, a miasm is a term that refers to noxious effluvia or emanations that were once thought to carry malaria and other epidemic diseases. This notion fell into disuse with the discovery of the microbial causes of these diseases. |
