Latin Name: Ilex aquifolium
Description
Characteristics: Hatred, Envy, Jealousy, Anger
For those consumed with negative emotional states, such as hatred, anger, jealousy, rage, revenge, contempt, or selfishness. They lack the ability to love and feel anger towards those around them. They are suffering from within and deflect this anger to others. This intense emotion leads to outbursts of temper with no identifiable cause. This flower is closely associated with Willow, but Willow people keep their feelings inside whereas Holly people explode on others. They may be suffering from insecurity, due to a lack of adequate love or attention as a child and now find it difficult to open up their hearts. They may find they are now counterattacking this insecurity by dispelling anger to others.
Ailments / Situations Where Used
Holly will help these individuals become generous hearted, with the ability to give love unconditionally and expect nothing in return. They will be able to deal with the trauma of past experiences and will realize that even if they are frightened to open up these emotional wounds, healing can only occur when the mind is dissipated from any emotional anguish. These individuals need to look within and discover the reasons for the anger in order to determine which remedy to take. If it is anger due to frustration, then Vervain may be needed, aggression then Vine, intolerance then Beech, and impatience then Impatiens.
