It is for people who feel resentful and bitter about the course their lives have taken. They envy the successes and joys of others and are reluctant to admit when their own lives are going well, preferring to focus on what has gone wrong.

Willow people are grumpy and when they get sick they are difficult patients, because they are never satisfied with what is being done for them. Willow can be compared to Holly in the sense that it is also a negative state directed towards others. But while Holly burns with hatred and suspicion, Willow does it with resentment and self-pity.

The flower is given to encourage the rebirth of optimism and faith and to help the person in the negative state of Willow to be more generous in praising others. The remedy also helps them to become more aware of how their own negative way of thinking can attract precisely that bad luck that they attribute to others.
