Aspen is recommended for the type of vague, indefinable, anticipatory fear that takes the form of apprehension and anxiety.

Willow is for when we see ourselves as victims and feel that life has treated us badly. We wrap ourselves in anger, resentment, self-pity and bitterness, blaming others for our misfortune.

The Willow remedy helps to lift us from this hollow of self-mortification and to adopt a more forgiving and positive approach to life.
This is a very capable person who is certain of their own ability and confident of success. They have a tendency to use their gifts to gain power, dominate others and be aggressively proud. This greed for power and authority can make them tyrannical and dictatorial.

The Oak personality is strong, reliable, patient and responsible. They shoulder great burdens without complaint and persevere, despite setbacks, never giving up hope. This obstinacy in continuing with their unceasing efforts, and ignoring all the warning signs, leads them to exhaustion.

Honeysuckle is the remedy for when we are living more in the past than the present. Dwelling on memories of past events, whether happy or sad, reminiscing generally and wishing things could be as they were or wish they had been different. Honeysuckle helps us to remember and reflect on cherished memories and past happiness while feeling the benefit of them in the present moment. This remedy assists us to ground and feel all our experiences in this ‘now’ moment.
Centaury persons are kind, quiet and gentle people who are over-anxious to serve others. Being generally weak-willed and subservient, their good nature leads them to do more than their fair share of work.

This remedy will help these gentle people to be strong enough to respectfully accept and consider themselves and their own needs.
