The Struggle for Freedom

Summary

The article discusses the tubercular miasm as we know it from classic homeopathic literature and places it in a larger historical and evolutional context by which the author tries to show that the miasm isn't purely pathological but also relevant as a transitional phase. Two cases of bird remedies illustrate this aspect.

Key words

Tubercular miasm - Bird remedies - Historical context - Homeopathic evolution - Personal development - Maslow - Ken Wilber - Buteo jamaicensis - Falco Cherrug
