For those with an attitude of doubt, pessimism, or discouragement.
Gentian promotes the return of optimism. A small herbaceous plant, bitter or autumn gentian blooms in late summer and grows primarily on alpine hills. Its lilac-purple flowers, whose petals form a star, open or close depending on the weather. They remain on the plant when they have wilted, giving it a somewhat sad appearance. Like other gentians, the one chosen by Bach has a root rich in bitter compounds, widely used to treat digestive problems. Gentian belongs to the group of personality types defined by Bach. It is intended for those with deep-rooted negativity, who first see the downside of a situation rather than the upside, as if they could never fully digest what happens. Generally speaking, the flower is intended for those who become discouraged easily and doubt their ability to continue what they have undertaken. For those who give up at the first failure, academic or otherwise, or who are in a hurry to get better when they are ill. In the words of Bach, "this plant will give you courage in every situation, will make you understand that failure does not exist when you do your utmost, whatever the result."
"For those who become discouraged easily. Even if they make good progress, in their health, their business, their daily life, the slightest delay or the smallest obstacle will provoke doubt and cause them to lose their enthusiasm." Excerpt from the 1936 edition of "The Twelve Healers," translated into French by C. Lévi and G. Wolf.
