野草莓

刺蕁麻(Stinging nettle)好像開花了
西洋蓍草(Yarrow)種子應該成熟了
野草莓(Apline strawberry)這個植物是自然的小瑰寶,Dr. Steiner說野草莓除了有鐵可以幫助血的形成,而且還有矽酸刺激身體的感官,是一種很有療效的植物,不過他在另一文章指出,人工培育的草莓雖然吸收了很多肥料變得很大顆,但卻已經沒有鐵的元素了,所以野草莓就是小小的🍓

Steiner 原文:
Another superbly efficacious plant, simple and humble but infinitely instructive, is Fragaria vesca, the little wild strawberry of the woods. Its medicinal properties have only been obscured because it is eaten; and in this case the organisation of the eater masks as it were the plant’s effects. But it would be well to test the plant on persons who are still sensitive, susceptible, and do not often eat strawberries. In such persons, the amazing value of the wild strawberry would reveal itself at once. It is on the one hand especially potent in normalising the formation of the blood. It may even be prescribed with benefit in cases of diarrhœa for this reason; the forces in the lower organic sphere which are deflected from their normal course can be, as it were, restored to their proper path, viz., into the blood system itself. Here, then, is, on the one hand, a force which is essentially active in blood formation. On the other hand, the wild strawberry also contains silicic acid, which promotes stimulation of all the periphery. The wood-strawberry is indeed a splendid multum in parvo. It tends, through its siliceous content, to stimulate the action of the periphery in our organism. Then, as this peripheral stimulation means a certain risk, if too much silicic acid is conducted to the periphery that there is not a simultaneous current of nutritive substances in the same direction, and that the bloodstream is not simultaneously sufficiently enriched to nourish these areas stimulated by the silicates — the wild strawberry itself prepares the blood which has to be transmitted. It expresses and manifests in a remarkable form, just what should be done, in order to balance and help the processes activated by siliceous compounds in the periphery of our human organism. Thus nature gives us, in single examples such as this — which could be considerably multiplied — remarkable glimpses of possibilities which may become practice, if we have the intuition to seek Nature aright
