Jan De Vries Child Essence 30ml

Mustard is for those of us who suffer from periods of deep depression, sadness and gloom, which appear for no apparent reason and will disappear as suddenly as they come on. This remedy helps to dispel these dark clouds and thus allows balance and clarity.

The Red Chestnut person’s worries and anxieties are for others. Their thoughts are solely occupied with the health and well being of other members of their family, friends or acquaintances – often to the extent they have ceased to worry about themselves. Red Chestnut helps with the realization that one can only be responsible for one’s self and this clarity helps to overcome their fears and to trust in the process of life.

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.

Hornbeam helps enable those of us who think we have not sufficient strength, mentally or physically, to carry the burden life has placed on us. We experience weariness and fatigue from the thought of what lies ahead. That ‘Monday morning’ or ‘morning after’ feeling. This remedy assists in giving emotional strength to those who cannot face the day ahead or who cannot raise   enthusiasm for a given project or duty.

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.

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.

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 Vine remedy does not affect self-assurance or leadership, but will help these people to become less harsh or severe and more understanding of other people, especially those whom they consider to be weaker.

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.

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.

Aspen is recommended for the type of vague, indefinable, anticipatory fear that takes the form of apprehension and anxiety. It will assist persons who are prone to nightmares, sleep walking/talking and terrified that something terrible and unknown is going to happen. This remedy will help the sufferer to gain optimism and trust.

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.
