Sycosis Miasm Materia Medica
The word sycosis, comes from the Greek work “Sykos” means Fig (Wart). Medical dictionary defines sycosis as Hahnemann’s term for the constitutional effects of the gonorrhoeal virus. To Hahnemann sycosis was essentially a diathesis producing warts or wart like growth. He, therefore called sycosis the fig wart disease
Kent has said in his ‘Lesser Writings’ that “Sycosis is a constitutional and contagious disease, which sometimes, though not always, is manifested in the beginning of gonorrhoea.”
Gonorrhoea is caused by the kidney shaped microbe, Neisseria gonococcus.
According to Dr. Younan by sycosis we understand that morbid constitution induced by the gonorrhoea poison, especially when inappropriately treated.
J.H. Allen says “As long as there is any trace of the disease Sycosis in the system, it prevents any other acute attacks in many patients”
The second great cause of sycosis is antivariolic vaccination
