Vervain is for individuals who are strongly attached to their own principles and ideas, often to the point of being fanatical and over-enthusiastic. These people have a strong will and a desire to convince others of their views, and they tend to push themselves and others intensely, even in illness. The remedy helps to relax and calm those who are highly strung and hyper-active, providing balance and easing the mental strain of their unyielding convictions.
“Those with fixed principles and ideas, which they are confident are right, and which they very rarely change. They have a great wish to convert all around them to their own views of life. They are strong of will and have much courage when they are convinced of those things that they wish to teach. In illness they struggle on long after many would have given up their duties.” – Dr. Edward Bach
