Remedy profile:
Bottled up emotions and anger. People that are sensitive to offence. They
are easily offended by rudeness in others but are mostly very rude themselves.
Particularly anger is bottled up making them brood even though they appear mild
and compliant. They find it hard to say no but resent and are angered by being
"forced" to do something. This anger then turns into a deep resentment.
Physically they are very sensitive to pain (a low pain threshold) and perspire
when nervous or stressed.

their illnesses are related to this bottling up of emotions and resentments and
