Latin Name: Scleranthus annuus
Description
Characteristics: Uncertainty, Indecision
Scleranthus is one of Bach's original twelve remedies. It is for those who have trouble in deciding between two things. Even after a decision is made, these people will continue to doubt their choice and continue to sway between the alternatives. Ultimately, this self-doubt leads to confusion and mental exhaustion.
Unlike the Cerato person who has numerous problems and confides in them with others, the Scleranthus individual has a clear idea of what their inner struggle is about and yet will not seek the advice of others. These individuals can be characterized by mood swings due to the imbalance and insecurity of which direction to follow. As well, they may not be the most dependable people as they are constantly changing their outlook, which also inhibits their own chance at new opportunities.
Ailments / Situations Where Used
Scleranthus will help bring thoughts into focus, so all possibilities can be visualized, leading to a quick and secure decision making process. This remedy can also be useful in motion sickness when traveling as it tells the mind which way to focus.
