While people belonging to the Red Chestnut type are fearful, instead of being overprotective, they are never anxious about themselves whatsoever - the anxiety of such people is completely focused on other people, especially their loved ones.

When an individual is enduring the Red Chestnut state, his/ her mind extends to their dear one, who is normally beyond their reach or not in their control to be assisted. As a result, they continue to be anxious apprehensively regarding the well-being of their loved one.

Generally, people in the Red Chestnut state experience sorrow and anxiety together. While the shock of grief may justify the feeling of danger, the loss of protected environs and attachment may elucidate the apprehensions for the life and limb of the loved one - in this case, the sufferer considers any detachment with the dear one as similar to death. In such a situation, emotions, such as helplessness and self-culpability for being unable to provide help to the loved one who is far away, may undermine the emotional strength even more.

The flower essence remedy Red Chestnut is beneficial for people who are afraid of the wellbeing of other people, especially those they love and cherish to care for.

For instance, a mother who is always apprehensive about the wellbeing of her children suffers from this type of fear for trivial issues like when they are late in returning home. Her fear will vanish the moment her family members are back at home unscathed. Therapy with Red Chestnut facilitates in reinstating a positive feeling as well as faith in the Divine Plan or the Creator ushering in the acknowledgement that every individual has his or her own way and is delightfully cared for irrespective of what occurs to them.
