The fact that, in the case of the threefoldness of the yarrow, chamomile and stinging nettle preparations, the threefoldness of the earth or sal substances — the earth-metals potassium, calcium and iron — is subjected to a preparation through which they themselves, with the participation of hydrogen and nitrogen, become bearers of astral forces, is a process of transubstantiation. With this, the boundary set by nature is crossed. The working-quality of this kind of nitrogen is in this sense to be understood as polar to that which constitutes the evolutively determining formative force of ordinary nitrogen in the household of nature. The nitrogen produced through the preparation of yarrow, chamomile and stinging nettle is one "that is extraordinarily useful for plant growth." Yarrow, chamomile and stinging nettle preparations aim, as manures, in connection with the soul-development of the human being, to lay the foundation for a new developmental potential in the world that has become a 'work'. The handling of the preparations is a response to Rudolf Steiner's remark: "We stand [since the beginning of the 20th century; editor's note] before a great transformation of the inner nature of nature." This can only turn to the good when it goes hand in hand with a great transformation in the soul-formation of human beings. Where this does not take place, destruction arises.
