When one seeks to weigh the various statements concerning the summer and winter workings in the case of chamomile from the spirit of the Agriculture Course itself, the following consideration may be of help: as the procedure with the subsequent preparation plants shows, it is attuned to their characteristic way of dealing with the cosmic forces and earthly substances. As described, the growth of chamomile is an expression of the prevailing of an intense astrality in light, warmth, and air. This intensifies once more in the blossom and comes to expression in the air-filled hollow space beneath the arching receptacle — this hollow space can at the same time, without contradiction, be understood as an expression of the formation of an inner (soul) space of its own, not yet filled by the being — in the rhythmic movement of the ray florets, in the warming-airy fragrance, and in its high healing efficacy. All of this points to the fact that chamomile, already in its growth activity, is exposed to such a strong summerly-cosmic astral working that the second step of preparation appears almost superfluous; it anticipates this step, as it were. Nevertheless, a hanging of the intestinal sausages over the summer can certainly do no harm.
