Proposed Table of Miasms in the Plant Kingdom           

 

Dipsacales

Vital Sensation as proposed by Bob Blair in 2017 (WISH congress) and backed by a case of Sambucus as well as a comprehensive study of the homeopathic knowledge we have of that family.
Please be aware that the allocation to certain MIASMS, as shown in the table, is just a first suggestion and highly tentative. Please report any cases that you may have basing on these assumptions.

Looking at the sensation you will notice a strong similarity with the Umbelliferae. According to the APG (different from the Cronquist system), the Umbelliferae and the Dipsacales are closely related.

Of a given plant group this table only shows those species that we could relate a certain miasm to. If you want to see all remedies of a plant family or order that are in current homeopathic use or that have recently been proved, you can go to the website www.provings.info and there to "search substances and groups", where you can chose the remedy group you are interested in.
