ABSTRACT: In bamboo, a powerful incoming light principle meets with a stable, rhythmically organized and elastic shoot.The silica process is particularly developed in the plant. It is the image in nature of a healthy vertebral column. Introduced to anthroposophical medicine in 1951, it has proved its value with a wide range of disorders affecting processes of form, movement and coming upright in the whole vertebral column.The rationale is given for different potencies corresponding to the activity of the different bodies with different pathological conditions.
