What is miasm - Miasm according to Stuart Close, Hahnemann, John Weir

What is Miasm??

Miasm is a supposed predisposition to a particular disease, either inherited or acquired.
Miasm originated from Greek word "Miasma" which literally means, upto Hahnemann's time many things,including, polluting exhaltations,malarial poison etc.
It was loosely used in his times to express the morbific emmanations from putrescent organic matter,animal or vegetable and sometimes the effluvia arising from the bodies of those affected by certain diseases,some of which are regarded as infectious and others not.
But Hahnemann has used this in much more precise from and is used in sense of chronic syndrome(i.e. combination of signs and symptoms associated with morbid process)


According to Stuart Close:- 

Stuart close in his Genius of Homoeopathy remarks " A Miasm is according to Hahnemann , and most of followers, an infecting agent and a cause of disease"


Sir John Weir remarks in his book " science and Art of Homoeopathy "By Miasm Hahnemann Means Germ Disease"
