Mimulus
This essence is for the fear of everyday things-illness, pain, fear of the dark or being alone- and is always a known fear. Mimulus is also for those that are shy, timid and afraid of people. This essence gives gentle courage to those who are afraid and helps them overcome their nervousness.
Impatiens
Impatiens people are inclined to be solitary, but the reason for this is because they find other people too slow and prefer to work at their own pace. They work, talk and move quickly, often with a sense of urgency, and they tend to be fidgety, even finishing another’s sentence, so eager to speed up any process. This can cause much irritation and tension. Impatiens helps these people to adopt a more relaxed pace, have more patience with others and less rushed in their process.
Hornbeam
This essence is for that feeling most of us experience sometimes- perhaps most commonly on Monday mornings. A lack of mental strength to face the day ahead, a feeling of weariness just at the thought of it, a desire to procrastinate because all that was once pleasure has become a chore. Hornbeam restores the strength we need to face our work and look forward with more enthusiasm.
Honeysuckle
The wild pink honeysuckle provides the essence for those whose thoughts dwell on past experiences- happy memories, nostalgia, homesickness, regrets or perhaps re-living some unpleasant event. Honeysuckle unlocks the mind and so brings the present back into focus.
Holly
Holly is for those feelings such as hatred, revenge and suspicion that can eat away at the love within us and destroy our happiness.
Heather
Heather people need company and feel lonely if there is no one to talk to. They tend to buttonhole anyone who will listen and are then in danger of being avoided, and so the loneliness deepens. Heather helps people of this nature that have become self-absorbed to take their minds off themselves, attach less importance to their troubles, and become better listeners and companions.
Gorse
This essence restores hope and optimism to those who have become pessimistic. They have lost all hope of happiness returning or of there being a positive change in their circumstances. When ill Gorse people believe they will never get better and have no faith in their treatment. They may not even seek treatment because they feel so negative about their chance of recovery.
Gentian
This essence gives encouragement to those who feel discouraged, disappointed, doubtful or are about to lose faith. Gentian helps them to be more positive in their outlook and feel more hopeful. It is the essence for the depression that occurs as a setback- losing a job, failing a driving test or examination. Gentian helps the person to see their way through these unfortunate circumstances and focus on brighter opportunities.
Elm
The people who need this essence are those who are normally confident and capable but when faced with an unusual amount of responsibility or pressure, begin to lose their confidence or feel depressed because they are unable to cope. Elm restores the faith these people had in themselves.
Clematis
This essence comes from the wild clematis and helps those whose thoughts are in the future, looking forward to happier times or dwelling on what the future might bring or on an upcoming event. Their future seems much more exciting then the present. Clematis people tend to daydream and can be sleepy, drowsy individuals, sometimes drifting off into a world of their own.
