The remedy Hornbeam, together with Cerato, Scleranthus, Gentian, Gorse, and Wild Oat, belongs to Bach's group of For Those who Suffer Uncertainty. These remedies help those suffering from lack of certainty or strength of purpose in their daily affairs. Specifically, Hornbeam treats a mind not fully invigorated and lacking clarity of focus.
The mind in need of Hornbeam is fatigued and listless, and the body may feel this lethargy as well. One has to use willpower and push oneself to work, and still the mind may feel dull or lacking in power of concentration.
Due to fatigue, avoidance of work and procrastination may occur. Work does not appeal; one feels lax in fiber, thinking that one needs strengthening before duties can be fulfilled joyfully and with ease. It is as if the mind is not fully connecting with or seizing the tasks at hand; brightness of concentration and devotion is diminished.
There is no deep-seated exhaustion, however; and one usually manages well, once one has mustered strength and willpower.
This remedy is of value in study and school settings, or whenever prolonged mental work is called for. It will revitalize mental powers of clarity and concentration and give perseverance. It is of service in developmental disorders, learning disabilities, and retardation (cf. Chestnut Bud, Mustard, Wild Oat).
:

Emotions center around the fatigue, and one copes with
listlessness, frustration, temporary feelings of being overwhelmed, lack of interest, boredom, mild depression, and occasional resentment and unkindness. One is more prone to be irritable and may be less inclined to be of assistance or do extra work for others, mostly because one needs the extra strength for oneself.
There are lighter Hornbeam cases, when one feels fairly well but lacks some invigoration or internal strengthening so that tasks are tackled more joyfully.

To give alertness, brightness of consciousness, help with learning and task fulfillment. To invigorate mind and body.
