The stinging nettle preparation, third in the alliance, reaches in its efficacy already close to the Sun-force-governed middle — that is, to the hidden heart-function of the soil. The astral "inward working" of the stinging nettle is so permeated by reason/I-force that it can dispense with an animal organ-sheath. It too is able to process the earthly salt-formers potassium and calcium within their organic processes, and beyond this to transform iron into a beneficent iron-radiation. It seems that a Venus-efficacy is expressing itself here. In conjunction with yarrow and chamomile it ensures that the earth-salts potassium and calcium transform themselves into higher stages of efficacy, and additionally it calls forth the Mars-character of iron into radiant activity. The Venus-working, understood inwardly, creates in the living realm free spaces for new possibilities of becoming; it practices renunciation. One can say: it does not nourish — it makes nourishment possible. In this sense the iron-radiations of the stinging nettle preparation are to be understood. The working of the Venus-sphere does not itself bring them forth; rather it enables the stinging nettle to work as a preparation in such a way that it regulates the iron-balance in the diaphragm-soil to a salutary measure — the kind of measure that is likewise maintained in the heart-and-circulatory system.
