Thuja occidentalis, a botanical species commonly known as northern white cedar or Arborvitae, has been extensively utilized in traditional and alternative systems of medicine for its diverse therapeutic properties. In the realm of homeopathic medicine, Thuja occidentalis holds a significant place due to its profound effects on various physiological and psychological ailments.

We all know that according to homoeopathic philosophy there can’t be a chronic disease without fundamental cause that is Miasm (Psora, Sycosis, Syphillis). Thuja is one of the Hahnemann's discoveries. Most of the remedies in his materia medica had been known in a fashion before his time. Of the therapeutic properties of Thuja practically nothing was known till master Hahnemann proved it in homoeopathically. Subsequent observers have only confirmed or added to Hahnemann's pathogenesis. Master Hahnemann found in Thuja the antidote to the miasm of the condition which he termed Sycosis, meaning thereby the constitutional disease resulting from constitutional gonorrhœa, and having as its characteristic manifestation of like excrescences, sometimes dry in the form of warts, more frequently soft, spongy, emitting a foetid fluid with a sweetish odour something like herring brine, bleeding readily and having the coxcomb or cauliflower like appearance.

As we all know that thuja as one of the great antisycotic medicine, but the aim of this literature is to miasmatic analysis of Thuja occidentalis from Materia Medica Pura through the perspective of Dr. Hahanemann, Dr. kent, Dr. H. A. Roberts.
