This remedy is for those who lack self-confidence, feel inferior, and anticipate failure. They may not make a real effort to succeed because they anticipate failure.

Pine: (Pinus sylvestris)
Pine is for shoulds. People who think they could have or should have done something different than what they did. They reproach themselves constantly, feeling guilty. They are so willing to take on blame and feel guilty that they often blame themselves for the others mistakes.
Taking pine can help to move mistakes to learning, guilt to self-acceptance. We all make mistakes, it is part of the learning process. That we think we could have done something different than what we did do only shows that we have already learned and have now more choices in behavior than what we had at the time we made the error.
Crab Apple: (Malus pumila)
This remedy is for the body and how we feel about it. It is for shame, self-conscientiousness, poor self-image, feelings of uncleanliness. In many countries of the world, women are thought to be less than men, they are taught that there bodies are dirty, that sex is dirty, that they need to be ashamed of their breast and genitals. In the USA the media and magazines, etc. still tell females that they are not good enough unless they are pretty and the perfect weight. While this is a sales ploy, many women, teens, even young girls actually believe it. So this is the flower essence to help ladies bloom from within and accept themselves as they are. To bring a deep knowing that they are O.K. just the way they are.
It is also the remedy for fear of dirt, fear of contamination, fear of insects (as they make one feel dirty, make ones skin crawl).
Crab apple is a cleanser and will help detoxify the body and clean internal and external wounds. Therefore it can be use to great effect after an illness to assist the removal to chemical drugs and impurities. It is good to use if one is doing a cleansing fast. It will speed the elimination of toxins.

Oak: (Quercus robur)
For people who never give up. They do not know when to quit or how to quit. They push themselves to the end even into illness but never complain.
