the scrapings into brandy, and leave them to draw for a day, and then to drink
a small glass
of this spirit several times a daily.

1.
oak bark goes through intense decoction to release
tannins that are not easily soluble.
2.
bark is heated to incandescence to obtain pure calcium
oxide (CaO). This combines with carbon dioxide from the air to CaCO2 = calcium
carbonate). The tannin extract and the calcium preparation are potentized
together up to the 6x.
The idea for this preparation may have
come from the 5th lecture in Rudolf Steiner's Agriculture course where
he spoke of oak bark as one of the 6
compost preparations. He said emphatically that the calcium must remain within
the sphere of life if it was to have "healing qualities." Nothing
could be done with ordinary calcium carbonate. He spoke of oak bark as the
source of such "live calcium“.
Goethe's perception of the beginnings of
a dying process in bark correlates with Steiner: And it is, above all, the bark
of oak which is a kind of intermediate product between plant nature and living
soil, wholly in the way I have spoken of concerning the relationship between
living soil and the earth. With reference to the calcium principle that shows
itself here, the calcium structure found in oak bark is the most ideal.
A transition from living to dead matter
is created to match the situation in which oak bark develops.
The "composting" and,
therefore, partial mineralization of oak bark is taken to a higher level in
pharmacy by ashing. If one lives for a time with the image of a skull wintering
over in damp, "muddy" soil, it can become the counter image of the
allergy sufferer who is flowing apart under innumerable sensory stimuli in
Summer.
Calcium Carbonicum /Cortex Quercus is
available in 1 and 10 ml ampules and impregnated globuli. The 10 ml ampules
have proved particularly effective in controlling acute allergic.
reactions, which is in accord with experience gained in conventional calcium
therapy. Highly positive results have also been seen with marked pruritus of
non-allergenic origin, (pregnancy). Mothers-to-be tolerate the injections well,
as they are highly effective. Calcium carbonicum/Cortex Quercus may also be
considered for acute hayfever attacks when Citrus/Cydonia (Gencydo) on its own
proves insufficient. The 1 ml ampules and globuli serve mainly to continue the
treatment of acute conditions and for more chronic situations. More recently,
the solution for injection has been used in inhalations to treat asthma, also
in combination with Levico 3x. This merits attention in view of growing
advocacy of anti-inflammatory basic treatment for asthma. It needs systematic
investigation and development, as do all inhalation treatments using
anthroposophical medicines. The use of 10 ml ampules of Calcium
carbonicum/Cortex Quercus to treat hemorrhages also requires closer
investigation, and work needs to
be done on differential treatment (as
alternative/complementary to Stibium met. prep. D 6).
It is interesting to note that the
styptic (= Blut stillend)properties of calcium were discovered on the end
of the 18th Century, while its
anti-allergic properties were noted by Wright 100 years later. Apart from the
"external" aspect of serum treatment, this no doubt also has a deeper
reason. The allergy problem appears to have become genuinely topical around the
turn of the century, with the term "anaphylaxis" first used by
Charles Richet and Paul Portier in 1902. Clemens Pirquet introduced the term
"allergy" in 1906, having interpreted serum sickness as an
antigen-antibody reaction a year earlier. Finally, Henry Dale and Patrick
Laidlaw established the pharmacology of histamine in 1910, showing the
similarity between histamine induced and anaphylactic shock. Reading Rudolf
Steiner on the Citrus/Cydonia composition (1920s) one also gets the impression
that hayfever in its massive form was a "new" syndrome at the time.
Other oak preparations for use in
dermatology include Quercus Essence, Quercus comp. Ungt. and Quercus
Haemorrhoidal Suppositories.
Acute inflammatory changes in patients
who may be said to be "too young" are the domain of the oak.
Overall, the indications for oak bark
preparations are fairly well defined. This is not yet the case with
birch bark. A paper to be published
shortly may encourage others to try it on a wider scale. ‡;

Plant carries the force of Iron
[Carolina Boedler]
Oak used known for its stately growth and beautiful, durable wood which
has been used extensively for building and panelling. This wood, as the person
in the Oak state, is reliable and strong but also somewhat rigid and hardened.
The tree has the tendency to grow tall and wide and reach a very advanced age;
even when the first decay appears, leaves will struggle to form and renew the
life cycle, just as the Oak mentality endeavors to never give up.
Oak trees are rich in nourishment and shelter; they sustain many life
forms in their vicinity and, through one of their species, even give “food” and
sustenance to the work-oriented human mentality. The tree’s richness also
expresses the human reliability and loyal tendency to support others, as
portrayed in the Oak mentality.
Mind: In the Oak state, the mind is bent on
perseverance in life’s duties, even though strength and vitality may be
failing. Or there may be unceasing disappointments or lack of rewards despite
efforts made, and still the Oak person does not give up but resolves to
struggle on with great strength of will and ever renewed hope.
In the Oak state, emotions may be held at bay, as one struggles to
uphold one’s duties and loyalty. Emotions, if engaged in, are considered as
disturbing to the routine and resolve of willpower, especially if they are
related to self-pity, discouragement, selfishness, or longing for amusement and
rest. This lack of pampering of the self leads to the typical Oak stoicism, as
one rules oneself with an iron fist. Although there is satisfaction and
personal pride obtained from self-discipline, vital emotional and physical
needs are not met, and despondency and despair may grow from such suppression,
especially if there is additional lack of progress or failure to achieve
satisfying rewards in one’s work.
Baumastrologie:
Die Eiche - Die Lebenskraft (21.03.)
Die meisten Eichen erfreuen sich einer sehr guten Gesundheit. Zu Glück, denn von Ärzten und Medikamenten halte sie in der Regel nicht viel.
Dank ihrer starken Vitalität haben sie nur wenig Verständnis und Geduld mit kränkelnden Menschen.
Sie sind mutig und stellen sich einer gefährlichen Situation oder unangenehmen Konfrontation, jedoch niemals aus Leichtsinn oder aus einer Laune heraus. Versucht man eine Eiche unter Druck zu setzen, sollte man sich in Sicherheit bringen, bevor sie explodiert.
Veränderungen schätzen sie nicht. Wenn sich etwas bewährt hat, warum daran rütteln?
Umso älter eine Eiche wird, desto mehr läßt sie sich von der Vernunft und nicht nur von der Liebe leiten.
Freier Wille, Intuition
Die Eiche ist für viele Menschen -und das schon seit Jahrhunderten- der Inbegriff des Baumes überhaupt.
Bis ins 19. Jahrhundert wurde der Wert eines Eichenwaldes nicht nach dem möglichen Holzertrag, sondern dem Eichelerlös ermittelt.
Lehrt die Hintergründe des Schicksals und die Freiheit der Entscheidung. Wann immer Ereignisse auftreten, die ungerecht erscheinen oder völlig unverständlich sind kann die
Eiche den Zugang vermitteln und lehren, dass es wirklich eine absolute Gerechtigkeit gibt.

Phytologie: Medicinally oak galls are the most powerful of all vegetable
astringents. They are used in tincture internally for
dysentery/diarrhoea/cholera.
Externally a gall ointment has been used to
treat painful haemorrhoids and to arrest haemorrhage from the nose and gums.
The dust of oak bark was considered effective
against consumption, a disease that tanners were particularly immune to.
