Vervain

Promotes inner strength, tolerance and harmony, supports serenity and acceptance in dealing with oneself and others.

Vervain grows on calcareous, poor, and dry soils in sunny locations. The perennial reaches a height of up to 1 meter. The few opposite leaves are pointed and irregularly lobed. The 4 mm flowers, pale lilac to pale pink, appear in upright spikes from June to September.

Vervain promotes the development of tolerance. It helps us recognize that there are infinitely many different views and truths. They are all valid and should not be judged by us. The essence shows us when we go too far in our efforts to do something good. We learn to respect other people as they are and treat them appropriately.

Quote by Dr. Edward Bach: "We should strive to be so forgiving, so quiet, so patient, and so helpful that we move among our fellow men more like a breath of air or a ray of sunshine. We should be willing to help, but never to impose our intentions on them."

Physical Essence Effect: The missionary zeal with which one acts in a Vervain deficiency state no longer allows one to recognize a reasonable balance. Hyperactivity and high inner tension can trigger various physical problems (tic symptoms). Vervain essence promotes inner strength through its harmonizing and calming effect. On an energetic level, it activates the formation of defenses and releases tension.

Emotional: When you take on the role of missionary, revolutionary, or martyr, you tend to take on too much. You feel stressed and overwhelmed. Missionary work can degenerate into excessive enthusiasm and blind zeal, leading to stressful experiences. With the Vervain essence, we learn to organize and control our emotions. We recognize that we can achieve great ideals without stress and haste. Likewise, that many problems can be solved through inner harmony, self-discipline, and listening. The essence imparts the tolerance to allow others their freedom and to continually critically examine our own goals so as not to become too entangled in them.

Mental: A strong, faith-based will finds a new direction through this essence. One becomes capable of accepting the intentions of others and also reconsidering one's own attitude toward certain things. This essence is good for leaders and politicians, enabling them to lead a life of peace and balance. It helps them realize that family life and health should not be sacrificed for their career.

Spiritually: We find inner peace and return to our true selves. We open our consciousness to the opinions and ideas of others and can transform the tendency toward fanatical proselytizing into an idealistic willingness to help.

Children: In a Vervain deficiency, children are hyperactive and nervous. They are often tense, tend to stutter, and don't want to go to bed. It has a balancing and calming effect on the child.

Animals: Vervain helps animals become more open and tolerant. It can be used when the animal lacks trust.

Corresponding gemstones: malachite, fluorite.

Affirmation: I am open to the opinions of others and use my energies lovingly and gently.
