Gorse
Hopelessness. People who are despondent and certain that nothing can alleviate their condition, who have “Resigned themselves to their fate”. Feel there is no point in trying anything, as they are doomed to suffer. This is a particularly valuable remedy in chronic cases or where an illness has gone on for a long time and the patient feels fed–up or cynical that anything will help, or despairing that there will be any cure. Gorse removes the negative approach and induces hope.
Heather (Calluna vulgaris)
People who are full of themselves. They relate to all and sundry at great length and in agonizing detail, their worries , opinions, anxieties and problems, including the most trifling things. They will come up close and talk so rapidly that one cannot really get away – trap people with their loquacity. Their incessant and self–absorbed monologues tend to sap the energy of the listener. They don’t like being alone. No interest in others. Heather people contrive to turn any topic back to what they find most interesting in conversation themselves.
