In the blossoms, which envelop and complete the spherical form of the free-standing chamomile plant, its light-permeated, warmth-permeated, and air-permeated being appears once more on a higher level. The sulphur process permeates, compared to yarrow, the whole plant in a different way, all the way down into the root. And instead of holding the potash, as yarrow does, livingly within the earthy-watery, chamomile ætherises the upward-streaming potassium-calcium in the sphere of activity of warmth and air, culminating in the blossom, which gives out an intense fragrance. What comes to a processual end in the blossom forms, in the preparation of chamomile, the beginning of something new. This inversion is introduced by stuffing the gathered chamomile blossoms into an animal form-sheath — a section of the small intestine of the cow (Figure 27). The small intestine (*Intestinum tenue*) follows directly upon the duodenum (*Duodenum*) coming from the stomach, passes over into the ileum (*Ilium*), which opens into the caecum (*Caecum*). The long intermediate section is formed by the jejunum (*Jejunum*), which surrounds in garland- or wreath-like fashion the spirally arranged disc of the colon (*Colon*). This forms the middle section of the large intestine between the caecum (*Caecum*) and the rectum (*Rectum*). For the preparation, the jejunum is the relevant section. Within it — initiated by secretions that open into the duodenum (liver, bile, pancreas), and by the intestine's own glands — the main digestive activity takes place. The intestinal wall of the jejunum is enlarged many times over by the closely succeeding intestinal villi. Protected by the powerful mucous membrane (*Mucosa*), the blood and lymph vessels reach far into the intestinal canal within the villi. Here, through glandular secretions and bacterial breakdown, the nearly complete mineralization of the absorbed food takes place. It is an intensive metabolic activity, accompanied by the rhythmic movements of relaxing and re-erecting of the intestinal villi, as well as the peristalsis of the intestinal walls by a muscle layer, which in turn — through a strongly nerve-tissue-permeated, nearly transparent skin, the serosa — separates the intestinal wall from the interior of the abdominal cavity. This articulation into three membranes and the threefold chord of their functions is also shown by the stag's bladder. And yet both organ systems stand in polar relation to one another. The bladder centralises and stores the fluid secreted from the kidney
