Essential Oils and the Cancer Miasm

In his Essential Oils and the Cancer Miasm book, Dr. Berkowsky describes the dynamics of the Cancer miasm and provides an in-depth discussion of the ten primary essential oils which he has found to have an affinity for this miasm. A miasm is a reactional mode, or predisposition, to disease transmitted from generation to generation bioenergetically rather than by a genetic mechanism (a concept of classical homeopathy which is incorporated into Dr. Berkowsky's Spiritual PhytoEssencing Protocol). The themes of loss of control and inability to establish one's personal identity are characteristic of the Cancer miasm. The primary essential oils of this miasm are: angelica, cistus, frankincense, geranium, ginger, lemon, neroli, patchouli, pine, violet. The identification of an individual's prominent miasmatic influences, and specific essential oil responses to them, assists in differential diagnosis regarding essential oil selection. Also, it opens up a new, heretofore! unexplored, dynamic in aromatherapy which enables the practitioner to more effectively penetrate the layering of superficial symptoms in a case and gain access to the germinal, central disturbance of the dynamic plane from which those symptoms emanate.
