Miasms in Labour: A Revision of the Homoeopathic theory of the Miasms – A Process towards Health

‘Miasms in labour’ discusses a revision of the homoeopathic theory of the miasms. It starts with researching an analogy between the birth process and the miasms. Adeeper analysis of the miasms leads to a new perception of them. By discussing their connection with the individuation process their function in the development of the human psyche is clarified. A book with a refreshing and challenging view on the miasms, written in a clear and comprehensive way. For some two centuries homoeopathy had no connections with the mainlands of science. In this book Harry van derZee is building a bridge with psychology. He makes a connection between the miasms and the birth process and succeeds in giving the miasms a much greater depth by connecting them with the individuation process. Apart from this ‘Miasms in labour’ is already a valuable book for all the beautiful cases and remedy pictures. This book of Harry van der Zee on a new understanding of the miasms and the essences of many remedies through the process of pregnancy and birth is brilliant. This book is an important step towards a deeper understanding of miasms and its application into practice. The connection that Harry made between pregnancy, birth, biblical stories on the creation of the world, mythology and psychology is wonderful. This book helped me in realizing better the truth and depth of homoeopathy. After reading the book, I felt much more confident in the ability of homoeopathy to treat and cure severe pathologies, by using the miasmatic approach.
