Gorse is the remedy for people who have given up belief and hope. Gorse represents a stronger kind of downheartedness than the "Gentian" state, because Gorse people willfully refuse to be encouraged, so certain are they that their case is hopeless. If ill, they may think themselves incurable, and that nothing can be done.

Nevertheless, Dr Bach classified Gorse as a remedy for uncertainty, and not as a remedy for despair alongside "Sweet Chestnut". This demonstrates that the main problem with Gorse people is a loss of faith - if we can be persuaded to see things in a different light there is usually a way forward. This is what the Gorse remedy helps to achieve.

Suggested for people who feel extreme hopelessness and pessimism.
