Edward Bach, a bacteriological and homeopathic physician
Edward Bach discovered the flowers of the soul in three successive steps. He first developed the "Twelve Healers" and then added the "Four Supporters" before finishing with twenty additional plants among the flowers, trees and shrubs.
There are 7 groups of emotional states:
those who are afraid
those who are subject to doubt and uncertainty
those who lack interest in reality
those who feel isolated
those who are too permeable to interference and ideas from others
those who suffer from discouragement or despair
those who want too much to do good for others

Wild Oat and the flower of vocation. When we observe the wild oat in its natural environment, we notice that it sways with the wind. It is reminiscent of those people who have no specific goal and who go in all directions. "Life offers new opportunities to the wild out type of person. They start several things at once, often successfully practice several jobs, but they lack the inner certainty to stick to them perfectly."(excerpt from the book mentioned at the end of the article)
Wild Out people have a lot of creative energy, which tends to scatter them.
The Wild Oat elixir helps to find a certain axis, a verticality, a refocusing which makes it possible to go to the essential and to really be anchored to go to the end of the things.
His mantra would be "I find my axis and pursue my goal"
