Sankaran's miasms describe the dynamics and intensity with which different people experience their illness and respond to stress and challenges.
Rajan Sankaran has not only supplemented Hahnemann's classical miasms but has also fundamentally reinterpreted them. He does not regard them as the aetiology of chronic diseases, but purely phenomenologically as patterns of reaction. His typology of the 10 miasms is presented here and delineated from the traditional model. Using the examples of AIDS and bipolar depression, the need for further miasms is discussed.
