Vervain
Over-enthusiasm about principles that leads to emotional tension, overwork or fanaticism.
We take this remedy when our love of justice or our wish to convert others to our way of thinking has a negative effect on our emotional health, leaving us perhaps tense, perhaps angry, perhaps exhausted or unable to switch off.
The positive quality of the remedy is an ability to live in a more measured way. We regain a sense of proportion and can understand other points of view.
