-Defects of the senses and pains of thousand kinds, etc. 


These and many other illustrations are mentioned in text of pathology and medicine under the name of independent diseases


► In footnote Dr. Hahnemann revealed that he had discovered Psora after twelve years of investigation and published his observation on this subject in his book "The Chronic Diseases (4 vols., Dresden, Arnold. [2nd edition. Dusseldorf, Schaub.])", which had remained unknown to all his former and contemporary observers. This book contains-

 a) Development and various forms of thousand headed monster Psora. 

b) Important antipsoric remedies. 

c) Instructions for preparation and employment of antipsoric medicines. 


He says that before he had obtained this knowledge he could only treat the chronic diseases as an isolated individual malady with those medicines whose pure effect had been tested on healthy persons up to that period. Mankind rejoiced for the immense benefit provided by the new system, by treating maladies symptomatically but on discovery of chronic miasms and its specific treatment, reason to rejoice is increased by many folds. 


A Dr. Hahnemann had classified Cancer and Neoplasm under Psora as for him Psora does not only mean functional changes rather much more - for him any diseases which were seen in patient with history of suppression of itch eruption was kept under Psora; this concept can be known by going through his 'Chronic Diseases'.
