Dr. Götz Blome describes Mustard Flower Remedy as the remedy for people who fall into sudden depressions, bad moods, or melancholia without any apparent reason.
Key Points from Blome:
Area of Use: Mustard is used for endogenous (groundless) depression, lack of joy, pessimism, melancholy, and world-weariness. It is helpful for both pathological sadness and everyday dejection or gloom.
Mustard Personality (Harmonious Form):
Has the gift of balancing happiness and gravity.
Exhibits inner balance, quiet joy, and a sense of responsibility.
Seeks answers inwardly rather than externally.
Happiness is deep and meaningful, not superficial.
Mustard in Imbalance:
The temperament turns toward gloom, negativity, and humorless seriousness.
Sudden melancholy descends like a dark veil, cutting off joy.
The person may withdraw, become irritable, or lose meaning in life.
Often accompanied by physical tendencies such as weak circulation, tiredness, susceptibility to infections, or lack of drive.
Therapeutic Insight: Mustard helps restore emotional rhythm and flexibility, preventing depressive withdrawal and fostering reconnection with life’s meaning.
