Ainsworths Gentian Bach Remedy 10ml

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. The Oak remedy helps to rebuild strength and to learn to achieve without strain.

The Wild Oat person has no aim or goal and feels dissatisfied with life. They feel unfulfilled, frustrated, despondent and without direction. This remedy helps them to view their life more clearly and to seek ways to find their true vocation.

The Vervain person has fixed principles and ideas that cannot be changed, because they are confident they are correct, never considering an alternative. They feel compelled to convert people to their way of thinking and, consequently, overwork themselves to the point of exhaustion. This remedy helps them to wind down, to rest and relax in order to accept new ideas and viewpoints. 

The Agrimony person is worried and restless in both mind and body. A feeling of inner suffering and torment is hidden behind a mask of cheerfulness and humour and they always maintain a smile. This remedy helps them to relax and share problems, to put these into perspective, and assists in creating a sense of peace.

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.

Sweet Chestnut is the remedy for those who are in deepest despair with this hopelessness leading to an inner void. They have reached the limits of their emotional endurance and no longer wish to go on as they feel their situation is beyond help.  The Sweet Chestnut remedy helps to raise the curtain of despair, enabling them to see the larger picture and restores faith in their self.

The Gorse remedy is for persons who think their situation is impossible and have experienced many failures and lost all faith in their ability to change their life.  They believe that nothing more can be done to improve a seemingly impossible situation and have become hopeless and despairing.  This remedy helps encourage hope, optimism and enthusiasm.

This is the remedy for shock in any form and is indicated whenever there is trauma to the system - both mental and physical - for example from an accident, a bereavement or any emotionally disturbing news which causes great distress. Star of Bethlehem helps to stabilize the mind and body - especially where sudden emotional shock has caused a convulsion of the system - and also assists in acceptance of the inevitable. 

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. Between our irritable and sulky moods, we seem to actively enjoy this gloom and despair. The Willow remedy helps to lift us from this hollow of self-mortification and to adopt a more forgiving and positive approach to life.

Larch is the remedy for those that lack confidence and do not consider themselves as good or as capable as everyone else. They expect and fear failure and, therefore, give up at the first sign of difficulty. This remedy assists in restoring self-confidence and the will to succeed.
