Jan De Vries Craving Essence 30ml

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.

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.

The Holly remedy is for when we have thoughts of jealousy, envy, suspicion and even hatred or revenge. Also, for when we feel restless, irritated or become angry easily and often lose control.  Holly assists us with the acceptance of ourselves and to see life as the opportunity it truly is, to choose and to feel love.

Gentian persons are easily discouraged and full of doubt regarding their ability to succeed, after an initial failure. Any encounter with external difficulties creates self-doubt and dejection. This remedy will assist with positive thinking and acquiring the necessary faith and courage to triumph.

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 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.
