Abstract: Below, an attempt is made to describe our efforts to provide the right level of nursing care as healing progressed. The reasons for choice of substances can only be touched on briefly, but it is hoped that it will be enough to give a picture. Finding the indicated medicines in anthroposophic medicine and nursing has less to do with chemical analysis than with the endeavor to study minerals, animals and, above all, plants and perceive their essential nature and qualities. It should be explained that we do not consider microorganisms in the wound to be a causal factor but, rather, indicative of the changed environment, with the balance upset. Foreign elements can only come in if the secure harmony has gone.
