14. Heather Remedy
(Calluna vulgaris)
Keywords: Self-centredness, self-concern.
These people are much concerned about themselves, full of
their ailments, their worries, even for the trivial events of
the day. They like to tell others about their difficulties and
discuss them, quite unlike the Agrimony type who hide
their worries from others. They talk incessantly and often
rapidly so that others cannot get a word in edgeways and
tend to bring the conversation always back to themselves
like this patient. "She must be the center of interest, and
always tries to steer the conversation at table back to helself
or her house. Her grandchildren have bets on how soon she
will try to turn the conversation to herself," and this one,
"she talks to all the Sunday about her trials and
tribulations."
They like to come close to you, to speak into your face
and for this reason Dr. Bach called them "button-holers".
They sap the strength and vitality of others with their
excessive self-centredness leaving their listeners completely
exhausted, therefore they tend to be shunned and avoided. It
is most difficult for their companions to get away from
them, for they will hold them in conversation, find
something fresh to talk about the last moment, and hinder
their departure at the door, then at the garden gate. As they
take the vitality of others and live on it. They dislike being
alone and are unhappy, in fact, fear solitude for this reason.
They do not suffer from self-pity, rather enjoy making the
most of their ailments and making mountains out of mole-
hills and do not realize that is the reason why others try to
avoid them. Their rapid continuous chatter makes them
poor listeners for they have no time to be interested in the
troubles of other people.
The Centaury folk, who are inclined to be too easily
influenced, are often the victims of the Heather type, for the
former have not the strength of will or the wisdom to walk
away. The Mimulus people too are often depleted, by such

people for they are too nervous and lack the courage to
break away.
This description is, of course, of the Heather types but at
times most of us suffer temporarily from states of mind
such as this. We feel the need to talk about ourselves and
our own concerns, even though we are tiring and boring
others. We find ourselves unable to resist the temptation. It
is because we have depleted ourselves and cannot cope with
our own troubles. The Heather Remedy will restore our
vitality.
The positive quality is found in the selfless,
understanding individual, who has suffered himself greatly
and so is very willing to listen and to help others. He listens
more than he talks, putting his own difficulties behind him
whilst absorbed in those of others and is unsparing in his
exertions of them.
Cases treated:
Case 1: Letter from a friend of the patient: "She is
staying with us at present. She appears terribly self-centred
and selfish, she cannot get away from herself for long, she
talks all the time about her tiniest aches and pains. This
morning she told me at length she had written a letter the
night before and it had tired her so much that she quite
expected to have a headache all the day. The curtains were
drawn and she had a shade over her eyes-but she had no
headache." When seen, this patient gave a long and detailed
account of all her symptoms past and present, and said as
she lived alone she was so lonely, so few people come to
see her and they would not stop long enough or listen
sympathetically to her troubles.
Heather remedy was given for several weeks with great
improvement. She began gradually to take interest in things
outside herself and finally made friends with a woman, busy
helping her with the children, shopping and in the home.
Her health naturally improved beyond all measure.
Case 2: A boy aged 17 was taking his advanced G.C.E.,
with a few weeks. He had been a clever lad, enjoying his
studies and good at athletics but for the past year he had
been worrying about himself continiously, he worried about
the examinations,

his future, his health, bored his family with his incessant
talking about his own concerns. He began to have
palpitations and suffered from insomnia and told everyone
about these difficulties, losing his friends in consequence.
Heather alone was prescribed at first which gave good
results. He became more carefree, joined in cycle hikes
with his friends and enjoyed their company, but still felt
apprehensive and nervous about the coming examination.
Mimulus and Heather were the next prescription and after
two weeks he reported he felt much happier, had more
energy, was sleeping well, made no mention of his
palpitations and said he felt sure he was going to be
successful in the examinations in three weeks time.
