Jan De Vries Female Essence 30ml

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.

The Cherry Plum person fears loss of control and reason. They fear insanity and their mind being taken over by sudden violent impulses. This remedy assists in restoring the feeling of self-control and a desire to be responsible for their actions.

Heather persons prefer the company of others and feel the need to discuss their own affairs with whoever is available. They have a tendency to sap vitality from others and, as a consequence, are often avoided. This remedy assists them to feel comfortable in their own company and helps cultivate an awareness and greater interest in life generally.

Infusions of Aspen, Mimulus, Orange Hawkweed, Chamomile, Agrimony, Chestnut Bud, Beech, Crab Apple, Self Heal, Walnut and Willow, with Star of Bethlehem, Impatiens, Cherry Plum, and Rock Rose.

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.

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.

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. Also self-determination and self-fulfilment are sacrificed in order to gain appreciation and devotion from others. This remedy will help these gentle people to be strong enough to respectfully accept and consider themselves and their own needs.

This remedy is for indecision and uncertainty and is invaluable for people who cannot choose between one thing and another. Often any decisions made will later be reversed and, as they are unable to discuss their difficulties with others, they struggle alone. Scleranthus helps these people to see the larger picture required to make informed decisions.

This is the remedy for those of us who have suffered much mentally or physically and are so exhausted and weary we have no more strength left.  Often this fatigue is due to overwork or over exertion.  Olive will assist in restoring mental, physical and emotional balance.

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.

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 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.
