Pine : properties and benefits

The keyword of the types it is the “culprit”, the one who is convinced of being always at fault and overly self-critical, to pay for the actions they have not been performed with great success, often individuals who get under extreme judgment, even accusing himself of nothing.

The Dr. Edward Bach used to administer this remedy: “… for those who complain about something . Even when they are successful, they think they could have done better and are never satisfied with their efforts and results. They are hard workers, but suffer greatly from the defects they attribute to themselves. Sometimes, faced with a mistake made by others, they even come to blame themselves for it … ”.

Pine types generally have quite high standards, but they are never satisfied, they could always have done better, said their “inner voice”; at the same time they are extremely sensitive, to the point of underestimating their own working skills and limits, while being attentive and precise, they often do their utmost with a tendency to sacrifice and react to the slightest criticism by blaming themselves.

This remedy leads to knowing how to evaluate one’s responsibilities with clarity and lucidity and to accept them naturally; Pine therefore allows us to reach a point from which we can start to conduct adequate analyzes, adhering to reality. In addition, Pine allows you to increase your self-esteem and respect for yourself and for others, without ruling.

• Initial-inhibited emotions (before taking the flower):
      Feelings of guilt, excessive self-criticism.

• Evolutionary-loose emotions (after taking the flower):
Self-acceptance, fluidity, forgiveness for oneself.


Pine : uses

Pine is indicated for those who blame themselves for everything, but unlike Crab Apple , they condemn themselves for a sense of guilt and this generates in them a permanent debt, caused by their actions that can lead to sexual and digestive disorders , inferiority complex, anxiety and tachycardia , problems related to the genitourinary system, rigidity in general, muscle pain and back pain.

Pine is precious for those who are deeply self-harming and self-destructive , who feel “punished” in life, but who finally feel the desire to conquer the pleasure of living lightly and savor a balanced sense of responsibility.
