RED CHESTNUT REMEDY: Fear and over-anxiety for others. The fear may be justifiable, as of parents whose young child has left the Village School to live in a college hostel in a city; the fear that the child may not fall in bad society, or the fear about a relative who was travelling in a train which has met with an accident. The fear may be unfounded as of a doting mother who feels worried about her child and becomes restless hours before the return of his School bus. So long as this fear or apprehension is for some other person, the remedy called for is Red Chestnut.

ROCK ROSE REMEDY: Terror. Extreme fear, Panic. It is not the fear which is limited to one human mind, like that of Aspen or Mimulus. It is terror. It is panic. The whole atmosphere in which one breathes appears to consist of fear with no hope of escape. Imagine the plight of passengers in a running train which has caught fire or in a car running down a zigzag mountain road with failed brakes or a ship which is being bombarded from outside and has caught fire inside. Even when the condition of the patient is so serious that there is fear in the atmosphere which affects people sitting around the patient, the situation qualifies for administration of “ROCK ROSE” remedy.

GENTIAN REMEDY: Pessimism, Depression, Doubt, Lack of faith, Always looks at the dark side of the case. Always calls a half bottle empty, never calls it half full. Depression from a known cause. A set-back during convalescence causes undue discouragement.

GORSE REMEDY: Hopelessness. When a patient is fed up with a long treatment of a chronic disease and has been either told by the doctors that his disease is incurable or has himself come to the same conclusion, he becomes thoroughly depressed. Although he may continue with some treatment on the persuation of some well-wishers, he himself is dejected, and has lost all hope to recover his health.
