When a limb is inflamed or injured, the best thing to do is simply to put a ligature on it somewhere above the affected area; it must be done correctly, however. In this way, the more delicate activity of the body, the etheric activity, is brought into play, and healing begins. So, when a hand or finger is ulcerated, a ligature is applied between it and the body, and then it heals quickly. The forces of healing must be summoned everywhere within the body itself. Naturally, cases vary. One must always consider the individual and know him well if one wishes to cure him; one must have insight into how a person is. In dealing with a patient suffering from diphtheria, for instance, it is under certain conditions best to place him in a rosemary bath so he can smell the rosemary. Repeated long rosemary baths will strengthen the activity of his skin. Sufficient rosemary must be added to the water, however, so that the patient constantly smells it during the bath. The activity of the skin is stimulated, and the patient will improve without being treated with vaccine. It really depends upon being able to arouse in the right way with the remedies the patient's own bodily resistance.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"VI.

Man muß irgendwo abbinden. Dadurch, daß man abbindet, wird sogleich die feinere Körpertätigkeit, die Äthertätigkeit in Bewegung gesetzt, und die Heilung tritt ein. Wenn also einer vorne an der Hand oder am Finger ein Geschwür hat, dann binde ich es ihm hinten meinetwillen ab, dann heilt das sehr schnell. Man muß überall im Körper selber die Heilkräfte aufrufen. Wenn man zum Beispiel, sagen wir, einen Diphtheriekranken hat — es ist natürlich verschieden, man muß immer den Menschen berücksichtigen, man muß den Menschen genau kennen, wenn man ihn heilen will, muß also einen Blick haben für die Art, wie der Mensch ist —, aber wenn man einen Diphtheriekranken hat, ist es am besten unter Umständen, man steckt ihn, sagen wir, in ein Rosmarinbad, so daß er den Rosmarin riechen kann. Wenn er nun richtig lang drinnen war in dem Rosmarinbad, immer wiederum, dann wird seine Hauttätigkeit gestärkt. Aber es muß so viel Rosmarin im Wasser sein, daß er während des Badens den Rosmarin immerfort riecht; dann wird die Hauttätigkeit angeregt, und der Betreffende kann ohne alle Serumbehandlung gebessert werden. Es handelt sich also darum, daß man die eigenen Körperkräfte durch die Heilmittel in der richtigen Weise aufrufen kann. Natürlich kommt da immer das, daß wenn irgend etwas nicht wirken kann, die Leute das dann gleich für ein schlechtes Heilmittel halten. Aber Sie müssen nur bedenken, bei manchen Menschen ist eben nichts zu machen, denn oftmals kommt das Heilmittel in einem Stadium zur Anwendung, wo eben nichts mehr zu machen ist, oder man müßte das Heilmittel so stark anwenden, daß eine Roßkur daraus wird; dann verträgt es der Mensch wieder nicht! Dann stirbt er infolge des Heilmittels.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":315,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/348/1923-01-20/p037"}],"english":["GA 348/1923-01-20/p035","GA 348/1923-01-20/p036"],"method":"length","confidence":"medium","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":315,"en_words":298,"ratio":0.95,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"verified","verified":true,"evidence":["length","reader"],"reader_german":["GA 348/1923-01-20/p037"],"reader_part":true},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.93,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":5317,"original_word_count":5735,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"Maria St. Goar","identified_edition":"AP1983","book_title":"Health and Illness, Volume II","publisher":"Anthroposophic Press","publisher_inferred":true,"match_score":1.0,"source_url":"https://www.rsarchive.org/Lectures/GA348/English/AP1983/19230120p01.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.
