IMPATIENS

Symptoms - Impatient due to things or people moving too slow.

This remedy is curious because its name reflects its healing quality. It’s a very useful essence for those who get impatient when things aren't moving fast enough for them. This might be when the person they are dealing with isn't as quick thinking, or as fast as them, or perhaps when travelling to somewhere and caught in a traffic jam.

I find that Aspen (for undefined fears) compliments this remedy nicely, as often you may become impatient due to a fear that you should be somewhere else or you might miss out on something. (Of course, if you know the reason, then Mimulus would be the better remedy.)

In regards to this, it's worth noting that some remedies will only bring temporary relief if the primary cause of the feeling isn't dealt with. Hence, if fear is causing you to be impatient, taking the appropriate remedy for fear may also take care of the secondary cause.

This is a good remedy for when you fear the future or that life is going to try and screw you. Taking it can bring much reassurance.
