For when you feel Disappointed, Discouraged, Dispirited, Apathetic, Surrendered or Withdrawn.

We’ve all at times experienced those moments in life when the feelings of going round and round in circles emotionally exhaust you to the point of finally giving up. You feel like there is nothing else you can do or say that would make it feel better.

Flower Remedies can help shift you out of this melancholic state, regardless of where you are in this cycle.

Gentian is for that relatively mild downheartedness we sometimes feel when things go wrong. We miss a bus; fail an exam; miss out on an opportunity: it knocks us back.  Often the feeling lifts by itself, but the remedy can be used to lift it sooner so that we are able to make things go right instead of just hoping they will.

Gentian is often confused with Gorse, which is also a remedy for feeling down when things go wrong. The difference is largely one of degree. People in a Gentian state are less pessimistic and more prepared to try again. An example of this is when you’re unable to meet your sales target one month, and so you take some Gentian to help you re-align to try again.

Gorse is the remedy for people who have given up belief and hope. This could be the end of your tether; perhaps you’ve decided to leave a relationships that isn’t serving you anymore, or a job that you’re not enjoying.
Taking Gorse is for when all hope was lost and there wasn’t a way out of this conundrum.

People in a Gorse state have decided to give up. They refuse to be encouraged, and even if they seek a solution they will do so grudgingly, assuring everyone that there is no use trying.
