The Twelve Healers are the type essences. They describe your essential nature or “remedy type” - for example how we behave when ill, what we are like under pressure, what qualities we admire or dislike in others. Essence descriptions will show you the relationship between your true nature and the core characteristics of the individual essence.

The ‘Themes’ are areas of the personality the remedies help to develop. ‘Use for’ referrers to areas of imbalance the remedies correct.
