Diseases are produced by noxious morbific agents called Miasms that are dynamic influences which affect the important force.There are mainly 3 miasms PSORA ,SYPHILIS&SYCOSIS. These 3 causes are accepted by alternative schools of drugs however referred to as by different names. Psora causes purposeful disturbances,

Remedial diagnosis:
This is the foremost importnant half as way as homoeopathy worries. For this the selected symptoms are organized in a very systematic order on the basis of importance.
symptoms are analysed to seek out out the importance of every symptom for the choice of a remedy.Remedies are selected on the idea of similarity.[the basic principle of homoeopathy is 'similia similibus curenter' suggests that like cures like.A medicine which can manufacture some symptoms in an exceedingly healthy man are often used as a remedy to trea the similar symptoms in a diseased person.Each homoeopathic drug is proved on healthy men and therefore the symptoms collected by this process(drug proving) is written in meteria medica.]
Suitable remedies are diagnosed by a process referred to as repertorisation. Here books referred to as repertories are used. Repertory is the index of symptoms of materia medica(books which contain the symptoms of drugs).Nowadays computer softwares are used for repertorisalion.By this process we'll get the remedies covering most necessary symptom of the patient.
