Hornbeam

Hornbeam grows on poor soils, either free-standing or in light forests in Central Europe and the Middle East. The elegant tree with the resilient wood, hence the name "hornbeam", which means "tree in armor". This hazelnut plant grows up to 25 meters high and up to 150 years old. The leaves are similar to those of the common beech, but they are serrated and remain on the tree over the winter. The smooth, gray bark has characteristic iron-gray stripes and bulges. The flowers appear in April and May, the female ones hanging with curly bracts, the male ones as yellow catkins. The fruits are tiny hazelnuts.

Hornbeam awakens vigour and freshness in us, as well as the ability to see every day as a gift from God. We feel new motivation, fresh vitality and enthusiasm for everyday life.

Quote by Dr. Edward Bach: "Therefore, every moment of our work and leisure contains in it a zeal for learning, a desire to experience real things, real adventures, and to accomplish worthwhile deeds for which we need physical and mental strengthening.

Physically: We bring energies and blockages that were thought to have dried up back into flow. On an energetic level, physical tensions are also released.

Emotional: People who feel lacking motivation (including the typical morning grouches), who see no prospects for themselves, and who are afraid of confrontations, can experience a holistically vitalizing power from Hornbeam. Often groundless pessimism can be overcome, as can fear of failure at work or in a sexual capacity. It is no longer necessary to take refuge in illness, but rather to recognize one's strengths and use them.

Mental: Hornbeam helps to focus attention on what is important. It provides mental freshness and strengthens the receptivity to face daily tasks. Hornbeam demands a healthy will to achieve, a spirit of enterprise and tirelessly pursues the set goal. We learn to break the routine and develop more creativity and spontaneity.

Spiritual: When you feel like nothing is moving and you feel condemned to remain in this state of inertia, Hornbeam allows us to experience life with every fibre of our being. She refreshes us and conveys vitality and joy in being and doing.

Children: If children are grumpy in the morning, don't want to be spoken to, put off doing their homework, etc., this may indicate a Hornbeam deficiency. The essence conveys creativity and the drive to tackle things.

Animals: Hornbeam has proven to be helpful for animals after an accident or illness. It helps the animal to overcome a lack of courage and find its rhythm again.

Corresponding gemstones: apatite, coral.

Affirmation: I approach my tasks fresh and motivated and complete them with joy and self-confidence.
