GENTIAN is for those who are easily discouraged by the smallest thing that causes hesitancy in the progress of life.  They do not want to even try because they don't want to be disappointed.  This pessimistic belief leads them to often fail.  They do not trust their own abilities and are easily discouraged.  They find it difficult to get back on their feet and moving forward in life. 
 
The positive of GENTIAN is that it helps the individual to gain inner strength and the ability to move forward. Life becomes more optimistic and their future moves forward in a positive direction.
