BEECH — This remedy belongs to the group OVERCARE FOR OTHERS and also includes CHICORY, VERVAIN and the arrogance remedies of ROCKWATER AND VINE. Attitudes of narrow-mindedness, intolerance and orderliness, as well as antisocial behavior are prevalent. These individuals have trouble digesting experiences. Minority groups would be included where humiliation and self esteem were at issue. There may be an appearance of haughtiness and rigidity of posture, even at the extreme, paranoid personality disorders. One may learn to feel special by being overly critical of others, but in reality there is a sadness underlying it all. Grief is not worked out and so the person is criticized not mourned. (This personality type may become a tolerant diagnostician.)

CENTAURY — This remedy belongs to the group OVERREACTS TO THE WISHES OF OTHERS like the remedies AGRIMONY, HOLLY AND WALNUT. This person is timid, weak-willed and easily imposed upon. One is subservient to another's will without serving one's Higher Self. There is a need for self realization. It is the most sensitive of all remedies, and often seen just before a layer in the personality of emerging psychic abilities. The person is often under the influence of a guru or a teacher. There is an easy tendency to get sick and a weakness of mind and body, as well as

DEPENDENT PERSONALITY DISORDER. Lacks the courage to let their needs be known, like CERATO and growing weakness and exhaustion like OAK.

CERATO — This remedy belongs to the group, THOSE WHO SUFFER UNCERTAINTY, along with SCLERANTHUS, GORSE, HORNBEAM AND WILD OAT. The person doubts their ability and always seeks the advice of others. There is a need to excercise inner intuition, like BEECH, as they are out of touch with the Higher Self. There is a need to follow fads, as well as rigid schooling which brings on a dream state and no opportunity to use the inner voice. CERATO works well with diseases of the immune system when, it doesn't know how to achieve health. There is a preoccupation with oneself. This remedy also helps with SPEECH PROBLEMS as does MIMULUS, and LARCH. The remedy is helpful in LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT DISORDERS, and IMMATURE BEHAVIOR, like CHESTNUT BUD. The person has a tendency to blame oneself constantly for their present state. It is helpful also for GENDER IDENTITY, ELIMINATION, AND SEXUAL DISORDERS. There is deep inferiority and an exaggerated “over impression” with others, and like CENTAURY, A DEPENDENT PERSONALITY DISORDER.

CHERRY PLUM — This remedy has a great fear of the mind “giving away” or of losing control of one's temper. There can be a tendency to BEDWETTING and a debilitated emotional state, even suicidal. The individual frantically tries to suppress spiritual and emotional growth. The destructive forces rising within often cannot be controlled so the danger of suicide arises. One experiences fear of subconscious conflicts. It is a good FIRST REMEDY TO DISCOVER PRIMARY FEAR. The state has the same open-eyed staring quality of Stramonium, and ACUTE ANXIETY like ROCK ROSE.
