Heather persons prefer the company of others and feel the need to discuss their own affairs with whoever is available.

This remedy assists them to feel comfortable in their own company and helps cultivate an awareness and greater interest in life generally.

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.

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.

The Vervain person has fixed principles and ideas that cannot be changed, because they are confident they are correct, never considering an alternative.

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 Impatiens person is quick in thought and action and wishes all things to be done without hesitation or delay. They tend to be restless, fretful and jumpy and are impatient of people who work at a slower rate – often preferring to work and think alone, so they can choose their own speed. Impatiens helps to regain momentum and poise so that life is experienced at a comfortable pace, giving time to enjoy the pleasures of life.
