Appearance and Circumstance
Appearance and Circumstance is the first HFA book published in 2003. There are later books more up to date for learning HFA now but Appearance and Circumstance shows the evolution from Hahnemann’s miasm theory to HFA. It includes early work with facial analysis and while this work forms the foundation of HFA, The HFA Workbook (2021) is more complete and up to date.
About Appearance and Circumstance
After 12 years of research, Hahnemann presented his theory regarding the origins of chronic disease – the miasms. Psora, Sycosis and Syphilis were triumphs in Homeopathic understanding.
Extending on Hahnemann’s original idea of three primary miasms, Appearance and Circumstance details the development of the complex miasms – Tubercular, Syco-Psoric, Syco-Syphilitic and Cancer, as well as the three primary miasms.
Knowing that miasms are genetically inherited influences, the author discusses how each miasm will dominate physical structure, pathology and mental outlook. Recognizing the lifetime influence of a miasm helps to explain the events and circumstances that surround us.
Understanding that every individual is dominated by one of the miasms, facial features have been identified and matched to each miasm. Appearance and Circumstance contains images of these facial features and polychrests categorized by miasm.
By the end of his life Hahnemann regarded himself as a miasmatic prescriber and made a clear distinction between this method and symptom prescribing only. The further he examined the miasm theory, the more convinced he became that miasms are the key to understanding chronic disease and unlocking a case. Appearance and Circumstance continues this work.
Appearance and Circumstance has been welcomed by Homeopaths around the world (testimonials) as being a fresh and innovative way of using miasmatic understanding to find better remedies for our patients. The knowledge (gained from patients) of the themes and behaviours within these miasms has again validated why homeopathy is not only a true medicine of natural law but also a medicine covering all human experience. The understanding of human behaviour provided by the miasms has been an extraordinary journey of richness and clarity. It is a journey that continues to unfold the mysteries of human nature and delight both patients and practitioners alike with improvements in health and wellbeing.
