If it is the case that there can be a clear awareness that one is dealing with a disturbance in the rhythmic human being, then you will be right; then you will come to results. The thing is this: Wherever products are used that come from the plant kingdom and still have the remnants of the etheric body in them – and that is the case with resinous and milky juices, both in dandelion and in spurge; it is also the case with wax, for example in vegetable wax – all these substances have a strong effect on the human rhythmic system. But if we are dealing with something that has its primary cause not in the human being's rhythmic system but in the metabolism – these things merge into one another, but in principle they must be distinguished – then you will hardly succeed. Everything that still contains the etheric body within it has a very strong effect on the internal mobility of the astral body, and thus stimulates the entire activity of the organism from the astral body. And in this way one can achieve success. This is based on the fact that the astral body is strongly influenced by these substances and that, because it acts on the etheric body, it then also causes a balance in the etheric body.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"First Discussion","site_heading":"Etheric Plant Forces and Spiritual Diagnosis in Therapy","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Handelt es sich darum, daß ein deutliches Bewußtsein davon vorhanden sein kann, daß man es zu tun hat mit einer Störung irgendwie im rhythmischen Menschen, dann werden Sie recht haben; dann werden Sie zu Resultaten kommen. Die Sache ist so: Überall, wo man anwendet solche Produkte aus dem Pflanzenreich, welche in sich noch die Reste des Ätherleibes haben - und das ist der Fall bei harz-, bei diesen milchartigen Säften, sowohl bei Löwenzahn wie in der Wolfsmilch; das ist auch der Fall bei Wachs, zum Beispiel bei Pflanzenwachs -, bei all diesen Stoffen gibt es schon eine starke Wirkung auf das rhythmische System des Menschen. Handelt es sich aber darum etwa, daß man es zu tun hat in der primären Ursache mit etwas, was nicht im rhythmischen System des Menschen begründet ist, sondern um etwas, was im Stoffwechsel begründet ist - die Dinge gehen ineinander über, aber man muß sie dennoch prinzipiell unterscheiden -, werden Sie kaum damit Erfolg haben. Alles dasjenige, was den Ätherleib noch in sich enthält, wirkt sehr stark auf die innerliche Beweglichkeit des Astralleibes, regt damit vom Astralleib aus die ganze Tätigkeit des Organismus an. Und man kann auf diese Weise die Erfolge erzielen. Es beruht das darauf, daß der Astralleib stark beeinflusst wird von diesen Stoffen und daß er, weil er auf den Ätherleib wirkt, dann im Ätherleib auch wieder einen Ausgleich hervorruft.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":252,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/314/1924-04-22/p004"}],"english":["GA 314/1924-04-22/p004"],"method":"identity","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":252,"en_words":244,"ratio":0.97,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","meaning","audit"]},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":1.05,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5932,"original_word_count":5669,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Steiner Online Library","identified_edition":"SOL2025","book_title":"Meetings with Practicing Physicians","publisher":"Steiner Online Library","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA314/English/SOL2025/19240422m01.html","evidence":"lecture_page_line","publisher_note":"The publisher is inferred from the edition code in this lecture's source URL, not stated by the source page.
