Centaury

Centaury

(Centaurium umbellatum)

This is the blossom of service. At the extreme Centaury-people are so devoted to fulfilling others' will, at home and at work, that they completely forget about themselves and undermine their own individuality. They truly languish. However, if they make it to a balanced state, they become true helpers. They know to whom, how much, when and how to give. This is a rare gift, especially when also keeping self-respect.

Dr Bach's description

Kind, quiet, gentle people who are over-anxious to serve others. They overtax their strength in their endeavours. Their wish so grows upon them that they become more servants than willing helpers. Their good nature leads them to do more than their own share of work, and in so doing they may neglect their own particular mission in life.
