This tall, proud shrub gets its name from its fruit which has five corners – and this corresponds with the anatomical position of a body with arms and legs spread, and the fifth point being the head. This Essence allows the life force to flow through to these five centres. When this happens a person feels good and strong in themselves, and they feel their own love and beauty. This Essence resolves low self-esteem, lack of confidence and diminished self-love. In the negative mode, the person will appear crushed and 'held in'.

Negative Condition

• Low self-esteem

• Dislike of self

• Crushed, held-in personality

• Clothing drab and colourless

Positive Outcome

• Love and acceptance of self

• Celebration of own beauty

• Joyousness
