The outward appearance of the oak, its powerful reserve in growth, the hardness of its wood and so forth, bears the stamp of Mars-working. It grows slowly, persistently — just as the orbit of Mars around the Sun, at nearly two years (the sidereal orbit amounts to 687 days), takes longer than that of the sub-solar planets Venus (225 days) and Mercury (88 days). The domestic animal skull is likewise a powerful expression of Mars-working in form. The brain-cavity is, however, filled with a substance shaped by Moon-forces: the brain. In the preparation, the calcium oxalate of the bark, structured by the Mars-forces of the oak, takes its place. The same forces that shaped the skull — and that rayed through the Moon-nature of the brain — now imprint themselves upon the calcium of the oak bark. As the oak bark preparation, it works, unlike the chamomile preparation, preventively against infections from without.
