The syphilitic miasm is oxygenoid, and is characterized by destruction. Homeopathic treatment cant undo the damage, but can stop the trait being passed on.Symptoms are worse at night, worse from sunset to sunrise, and worse for the heat of the bed. The person is self-destructive, may be suicidal, has no itch but skin eruptions that can ulcerate, and is worse for elimination.There may be a great fear of the night, and a tendency to negative thoughts, and the patient may be always washing their hands.Comparisons between the three main miasms Locomotor painBone pain is syphiliticJoint pain is sycoticNeuralgic pain is psoricPains in generalItching and burning pains are psoric Stitching, pulsating, wandering pains are sycoticBurning, bursting, tearing pains are syphililiticMovementsSycotic quick movementsSyphilitic slow movementsSkinItch and burn psoric Oily, oozing, copious perspiration sycotic Ulcerated with pus and blood - syphiliticHairSycotic thick Syphilitic thin with baldnessDischargesPsoric better with discharges Sycotic worse for no discharge, and better for discharges Syphilitic Worse for discharges, better with no dischargeMouthPsoric burnt tasteSycotic putrid, fishy,Syphilitic copper, metallic
