VERVAIN continued

this remedy. VERVAIN, CHERRY PLUM, IMPATIENS and HOLLY all help contain Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. Vervain state shows psychosis with excessive fervency, (joy, love friendship, disgust, and rejection.)

VINE — The attitude for this personality is DOMINEERING. It belongs to the group, OVERCARE FOR OTHERS. These individuals can be overbearing, ambitious and suffer from envy. These feelings can sometimes lead to the onset of GASTRIC AND DUODENAL ULCERS and CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE. The Vine person is convinced of his or her leadership abilities and therefore assumes overcontrol of others. The opinions and wishes of others are disregarded. That can be abusive and stubborn as well as goal-oriented and these individuals don't normally attend to their own needs. There is a tendency toward egocentrism with tyrannical needs. Vine opens the goals of the Higher Self because this state was preceded by overattempts to fight back and is created by powerful inner tensions.

WALNUT — This personality is always worse with change of circumstances. This remedy allows the individual to take the final steps to change some

negative aspects of their personality where they are still caught up in old circumstances. To be used where major changes are about to take place. It helps with a new beginning in the emotional and spiritual spheres, such as teething, puberty, menopause, pregnancy and old age. Walnut can alleviate stress due to major change so as not to revert to old patterns. It is for those who are about to take the final step to break old conventions. Walnut is also supportive to those with a pioneering spirit and need the guidance of the Higher Self. It is THE BREAKER OF SPELLS and allows one to let go of the ideas of the past in order to fulfill the mission of one's life. It stabilizes chiropractic manipulation, helps with the pain of withdrawal from addiction and stabilizes the therapist against the energies of his or her clients; it offers protection from deep impressionability and environmental radiation like power lines and computers, pollens and perfumes. Physical symptoms can include GASTRIC and DUODENAL ULCERS. The over-impressionability causes disturbances from deep within.

WATER VIOLET — This type of individual can appear proud and aloof. The delusion of being "above others" and “special” is maintained. But there is a deep down vulnerability and loneliness that shies away from confrontation (NARCISSISM). The desire for attention fuels the feelings of grandiosity. Active engagement with others is avoided. ISOLATION LEAVES THE INNER SELF EMPTY. Pride alienates others and it may be the unconscious need to keep others away because of fear. The state emerges from deeply held humiliations and offenses. So the offended decides to raise himself above the offender instead of possibly receiving the appraisal of their personality. One then becomes unapproachable and unassailable and must then withdraw to deal with their own problems in their own way. Teachers and healers are often WATER VIOLET.
