This remedy is for when you are overwhelmed by responsibility. Those that would benefit from this remedy are usually competent and capable, but they momentarily lose confidence and become despondent. Elm types make good managers and are often in positions of responsibility, concerned with the welfare of others, e.g. doctors, teachers, therapists, and heads of industry.

The positive potential of Elm is restoration of one's normal capable personality, and a return to efficiency and self-assurance.
