"For those who have definite ideals and ambitions in life and are fulfilling them, but on rare occasions are tempted to be led away from their own ideas, aims and work by the enthusiasm, convictions or strong opinions of others. The remedy gives constancy and protection from outside influences."

—Edward Bach, The Twelve Healers

This remedy is for oversensitivity to external influences and difficulty adapting to change. Those who need it tend to be easily thrown off their path or influenced by others. They may be susceptible to the opinions of family members, the events happening around them, and what they hear in the news. The remedy is also for difficulty adapting to change, which makes it well indicated after a move, a change in school or a job, or the birth of a sibling.

Keywords: Oversensitivity to external influences, difficulty adapting to change, life transitions
