Jan De Vries Emergency Essence 15ml

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 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.

Chestnut Bud is for those who have difficulty in learning from their mishaps, finding it necessary to have the same experience several times before accepting it.  This remedy helps such people to be aware of the consequences of their previous actions and, with this larger viewpoint, to make more informed choices.

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.

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. 

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.

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 Clematis person is quiet, dreamy and drowsy, appearing to be not fully awake and have no great interest in life. They live more in the future than in the present and are absent-minded and inattentive, appearing to be in a world of their own. This remedy helps to be more concentrated and grounded in the present.

Elm is a remedy for those who are overwhelmed by responsibility, leaving them feeling inadequate and worn out. At times there may be periods of depression when they feel that the task they have undertaken is too difficult, leaving them despondent and exhausted.

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. 

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.

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.
