Rock Water

Rock Water is the remedy for people who take self-repression and self-denial to extremes. People in this state seek to perfect themselves in some way. They set themselves rules and targets and are strict and harsh with themselves when they feel they are falling short. If they seek to influence others it is by example only. They tend not to criticize out loud, as a Beech person would, nor do they persuade ("Vervain") or command ("Vine"). The Rock Water remedy does not stop us from having high ideals or from trying to meet them. It simply allows us to unbend. We are kinder to ourselves and not so dismissive of life's softer pleasures. Suggested for when one is too strict on themselves and sets too high standards for themselves, to the point of self-domination and self-martyrdom.
