Gorse is the remedy for those who experience hopelessness as a normal state of mind. This mental state is dangerous because without hope it is very difficult to regain health and hopelessness only further anchors dis-ease in the body. Such souls do not consider that they will ever be well again and in their hearts have given up trying. They may well agree on a new approach to their chronic health problem for the sake of family and friends but have no expectations that it will work. Very often the negative Gorse does not appear in the extreme but one recognises the way in which a patient is going towards utter hopelessness. For these souls the use of Gorse can be a turning point in their health and fortunes as they dig deep to find the strength of will to fight off negativity and once more see the light.
The classic Gorse appearance is a yellow/pale, waxy face with dark shadows under the eyes. It is as if they have not seen enough sunlight.
