If we recognize the nature of the disease process in this way, we must find in the outer nature how, for example, a particular kidney process is imitated in Equisetum arvense; or if we recognize that the bile secretion process in the liver is really its inner nature in certain forms of the disease, we find this form of disease of the gall secretion process, for example, in Cichorium intybus, then we are able, through the way in which the function proceeds in Cichorium intybus, to relieve the astral body of the liver in the gall secretion process of what it would otherwise have to do. We thus advance in healing in such a way that pathology itself is actually nothing other than therapy. This is how therapy becomes a truly rational science. — If, for example, we are familiar with the wonderful connection that exists between iron and certain mucilaginous plant components and salts of Anisum vulgare, we can see how there is something functional in this aniseed, particularly in the seeds of Anisum [Pimpinella anisum], which is one with certain hyperinflammatory blood disease processes. We can relieve the blood of these disease processes by using a preparation that is modeled on the connection between certain plant mucilages and the iron in aniseed. In this way, we not only free the astral body, but, when it comes to blood diseases, the ego organization is also involved.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Fifth Lecture","site_heading":"The Fourfold Human Being and Spiritual Diagnosis","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.

Erkennt man in einer solchen Weise die Natur des Krankheitsprozesses, so muß man in der äußeren Natur finden, wie zum Beispiel ein besonderer Nierenprozeß imitiert wird im Equisetum arvense; oder erkennt man, daß der Gallenabsonderungsprozeß in der Leber bei bestimmten Krankheitsformen wirklich seiner inneren Natur nach so ist, daß wir diese Krankheitsform des Gallenabsonderungsprozesses zum Beispiel im Cichorium intybus finden, so sind wir imstande, daß wir durch die Art und Weise, wie die Funktion im Cichorium intybus verläuft, dem Astralleib der Leber im Gallenabsonderungsprozeß das abzunehmen, was er sonst tun muß. Wir kommen so in der Heilung in der Weise weiter, daß die Pathologie selber eigentlich nichts anderes ist als schon die Therapie. Dadurch wird die Therapie eine wirklich rationelle Wissenschaft. -— Kennt man zum Beispiel den wunderbaren Zusammenhang, der zwischen Eisen und namentlich gewissen Pflanzenschleimbestandteilen und Salzen des Anisum vulgare besteht, so kann man erkennen, wie in diesem Anis, namentlich in dem Samen von Anisum [Pimpinella anisum] etwas Funktionierendes drinnen ist, was mit gewissen überentzündlichen Krankheitsprozessen des Blutes eins ist. Wir können dem Blut diese Krankheitsprozesse abnehmen, indem wir in entsprechender Weise ein Präparat verwenden, das nachgebildet ist dem Zusammenhange zwischen gewissen Pflanzenschleimstoffen und dem Eisen im Anis.
