Ilex aquifolium

"For those who are sometimes attacked by thoughts of such kind as jealousy, envy, revenge, suspicion. For the different forms of vexation. Within themselves, they may suffer much, often when there is no real cause for their unhappiness."

—Edward Bach, The Twelve Healers

This remedy is for jealousy, envy, competition, and a strong dislike or even hatred towards someone whom one feels has harmed them. The state is often experienced as a red hot anger toward that person, or even a vengefulness, a desire for them to suffer in equal or greater measure. This state may lead to suspicion or distrust toward others. It is often used in cases of sibling rivalry or when a child is having a hard time with the birth of a sibling.
