Dr Bach's description: Very capable people, certain of their own ability, confident of success. Being so assured, they think that it would be for the benefit of others if they could be persuaded to do things as they themselves do, or as they are certain is right. Even in illness they will direct their attendants. They may be of great value in emergency.
Essence: The Vine is a very capable person that is confident of his skills, ability and knowledge. He is certain that he is right and he feels that other people should persuaded by him to follow his goals, because these goals are the correct ones. In the positive state, this kind of people are very valuable in the crisis situations, because they have a clear idea about what should be done and they will guide others from the uncertainty.
In the negative state, the Vine tends to be very stubborn, overly self-confident and he forces other to do exactly as he commands. He may even use force to persuade them to what he wants. He tends to be tyrannical and he suppresses all opposition with all means necessary. This train manifests in the times of sickness. Although the Vine person may have no knowledge of the medical procedures, he will command the hospital personnel and he will direct them as he sees fit.
The difference between the Vervain and the Vine is that while the Vervain persuades others to follow his way by the means of example and with his enthusiastic energy, the Vine person is not interested in setting an example. He will force others to do as he commands without any thoughts whether this is right or not.
