Recognising Type Remedies

During the course of your life you will have come across a mixture of people, all with different qualities which make them unique. Everybody is as vital and important as each other, like little cogs in the giant workings of life, and indeed, it would be a very boring world if we were all the same! The idiosyncrasies and characteristics of a particular person are what provides the overall impression of their nature, and each individual composition is depicted by one of the remedies. Whilst reading Chapter 2, some of the descriptions will have reminded you of people you know, or made you smile as you recognised yourself! We all know people who are extrovert and others who are introvert, those who are full of enthusiasm and those who are apathetic. We know immediately, therefore, by appreciating the basic personality, which group of remedies should be considered. Outspokenness for example would suggest remedies such as Vervain, Impatiens, Vine, Chicory, Oak, whereas those who are quiet would indicate “quieter” remedies such as Mimulus, Centaury, Larch or Water Violet. There are people who are very outgoing and talkative – they might be Agrimony if they are jolly and give the impression they haven’t a care in the world, or Heather if their talkativeness is self-indulgent. As soon as we meet a person we are able to begin to form a picture of their make-up by the impression they give. For example, a great deal can be learned about a person’s nature by the way they speak, the tone of their voice, what they choose to talk about, whether they are nervous, insistent or dreamy. Body language too can reveal a great deal. Impatiens types, for example, tend to talk quickly, may fidget and seem in a hurry, perhaps looking at their watch or interrupting with an answer before you have finished your question. If you have a discussion with someone who begins to get worked up about the particular topic, their eyes opening widely and their voice excited as they emphatically pursue their argument, then you may well be talking to a Vervain! Some people are instantly recognizable and are classic examples of a particular type remedy. Other people’s personalities are more subtle, and sometimes you might find that there are those who seem to be a mixture of types. Equipped with a sound understanding of the remedies, however, you will know what questions you need to ask in order to extract the information you need to determine the correct choice.

As another example of the way different types of people respond to a given situation, let us consider seven students all about to take an examination together. Ann (Rock Rose) is absolutely terrified, sick with extreme nervousness and is literally shaking. Catherine (Agrimony) feels the same but pretends she doesn’t. All her friends marvel at her apparent calmness and jovial attitude. David (Wild Rose) doesn’t care whether he passes or fails. He hasn’t bothered to study and has resigned himself to failure.
