Gorse

…losing hope before trying every possible solution

…is one of the remedies that Dr Bach grouped under: Uncertainty.

Introduction to the twelfth Bach Flower on my blog @AngelaWuerz.com

Gorse is for those experiencing deep hopelessness and despair, people who have given up completely. They feel trapped in darkness, unable to see any light at the end of the tunnel. Convinced that their situation is incurable—perhaps due to hereditary factors—they resign themselves to a life of pain and suffering, making no effort to improve. While they might try treatments to appease loved ones, they lack any real belief in their effectiveness.

Dr. Bach described Gorse individuals as seeming like they “need sunshine in their lives to chase the clouds away.”

The positive potential of Gorse is the restoration of faith and hope, even amidst ongoing physical or emotional struggles. A newfound sense of brightness and optimism emerges, allowing the individual to see challenges as opportunities for growth. In less severe cases, they feel genuinely on the path to recovery, uplifted by a sense of renewal and positivity.

Dr Bach’s description

Very great hopelessness, they have given up belief that more can be done for them. Under persuasion or to please others they may try different treatments, at the same time assuring those around that there is so little hope of relief.
