I am thinking about taking Vervain for muscle tension – would that be a wise choice?
Email us for a personal reply. Telephone 079 64935 Vervain is for people who are over-enthusiastic about what they do, or get wrapped up in causes and fighting for principles, or have a burning desire for justice. All of these things can leave them unable to switch off and relax. If that is the cause of your muscle tension then Vervain is the right remedy. But if muscle tension is actually caused by fear, for example, then Aspen or Mimulus are the remedies to choose. If impatience is the reason, then you need Impatiens. If you are tense because you drive yourself too hard you might need Oak or Rock Water or Elm. In other words, the way to decide on your remedy is to ignore the physical symptom – the muscle tension – and look only at how you feel about things and the type of person you are.
