The Beech tree promotes tolerance and kindness. The slender beech tree raises its straight trunk with smooth, silvery-grey bark up to 40 m. Its small, glossy leaves, translucent green when young, play delicately with the light. It exudes an aura of calm and strength, but the shade of its branches, which block out the sun, creates a void around it, and it grows solitary, especially since its root system spreads horizontally.
It is aimed at those who value order and punctuality, and are intolerant of the imperfections and weaknesses of those around them. With a keen sense of criticism, they let nothing slip and are quick to spot what's wrong. The remedy encourages greater tolerance and respect for the choices and behaviors of others, and greater flexibility in relationships.
“For those who always want to improve everything around them, for whom nothing is good enough and can always be better. In this way, they can be more tolerant, more conciliatory, and open to the different paths taken by every being and thing working towards its own perfection.” Excerpt from the 1936 edition of “The Twelve Healers,” translated into French by C. Lévi and G. Wolf.
