Ringworm Miasm: Alteration between

[Dr. Rajan Sankaran]
Ringworm is a nosode, the centre
point of the ringworm miasm. This miasm lies between psora and sycosis. It is
characterised by an element of struggle as well as a resigned acceptance. The
nosode was prepared from scrapings of the eruptions of tinea. Histopathological
examination of the scrapings confirmed it to be tinea.
I conducted a proving of this
nosode. From the result of the provings as well as from the patients that I
have treated with Ringworm, I have understood:
Main feeling of this nosode: the
task at hand is just beyond where he can be sure of success. The main action of
the prover is to accomplish a task. He starts with a kind of lack of
confidence, becomes hopeful, tries to accomplish the task and struggles at it.
At some point, however, he decides that it is not going to work, that he will
not be able to accomplish the task by this method, that it is beyond his reach.
So he gives it up, and accepts that he has to live with it. As a result, he
doesnt do anything for quite sometime. After a while, however, another
possibility seems to open up for him and he becomes hopeful once again. He
starts trying and struggling all over again, only to give it up after realising
that it is beyond him. So there is an alternation between struggling and trying,
and then giving up, between hopefulness and resignation. I have found that in
the dreams of most of the provers, as well in the lives of most of the patients
one can see an alternation of this struggle with periods of inertia, whether it
is trying to reach college on time, trying to give up smoking, trying to get
rid of his illness or trying to build a relationship. A typical example would
be the struggle of an obese person trying to lose weight; there are periods of
jogging, walking, dieting (struggling), followed by periods of indolence,
calories, chocolates (acceptance).
The dream of one of the provers: He
dreamt that he was inside a tent, and was trying to come out. But outside the
tent were thousands of crows that pecked at him each time he got out. So he had
to get back in again. He would try repeatedly to come out, but each time he
would have to give up and go back inside. This dream clearly brings out the
alternation between the struggle and the resignation.
Other provers had dreams with
similar themes.
I have seen that these patients
generally lack confidence. There can be egoistic talk as in Sulphur, or on the
other hand, a cover up like Medorrhinum. There can be anxiety attacks as well.
But the pathology and symptoms all come and go in phases. There is often a
history of fungal infection, either in the groins, or in between the toes, with
periods of terrible, intolerable itching, alternating with periods of no
itching whatsoever. The symptoms never really become acute or destructive, and
the person feels that he will have to live with the problem, although it would
be better to try and get rid of it. He struggles periodically but when he
fails, he just accepts it.

Ringworm-Erkrankung
Hauterkrankung, durch Parasiten/Pilz hervorgerufen, kreisförmige befallene Stellen
Ringworm zwischen Psora und Sykosis (scheinbar auch als Teil von Sykosis angesehen)/zeigt Mangel an Vertrauen, egoistisches Reden, kann auch verdeckt sein, Angstattacken; die Krankheit und die Symptome können in Phasen kommen und gehen.
Ringworm and fungal disorders are
annoying but not at all life-threatening. These conditions often get better
very slowly but slip back in at the first vulnerable moment.
It is a constant effort to combat the
condition. The theme for ringworm miasm is struggle against an external object
and optimism # pessimism. The patient often repeatedly uses the word, “trying.”
The feeling is that he must try and
try and yet he never quite gets there though never quite gives up.
Erlebte „Kennzeichen“
Is characterized by periods of
struggle with anxiety about its success # periods of despair and giving up.

According to Sankaran (1994:57), the Ringworm miasm occurs between Psora
and Sycosis. Ringworm is a twofold
miasm. A Ringworm infection is
characterised by periods when it is just another skin lesion and times when it
itches terribly like scabies, compelling scratching. The patient constantly
tries to overcome a stress or deficiency, so there are periods of tremendous
exertion and
fighting for success alternating with resignation and acceptance. A
related pathology may be herpes.
The keywords he uses for Ringworm miasmatic classification are: Trying;
giving up; irritation; try; ringworm; tinea; acne; discomfort; herpetic
(Sankaran, 2002: 62).

It is a constant effort to combat
the condition (Kaffee scheint über diese Impassen hinweg zu helfen). Theme:

never quite gives up.
