The remedy Olive, together
with the remedies of Clematis, Honeysuckle, Wild Rose, White Chestnut,
Mustard, and Chestnut Bud, belongs to the group of Lack of Interest
in Present Circumstances, as classified by Bach. Specifically,
Olive treats states of exhaustion in mind/emotions, body, and
spirit. In the Olive state, the mind
is too weary to carry on, and one knows that a certain limit has
been reached and reserves are depleting. It is a state of exhaustion
reaching deep into the self, undermining the very spirit or inner
core of existence. In the Olive state, emotional
life is weary as well. One is unable, as in burn-out syndrome,
to care as much about others as one used to. One cannot get worked
up or excited over people and issues which previously gave incentive
and joy. Due to having depleted inner reserves, one now finds
oneself retreating to an inner core, harboring strength and trying
to protect those remaining powers necessary to get through the
day. To revitalize the person as a whole, recharge one's reserves, give new incentive to engage in life.
