5. harmonize constitution type

Discovering and rebalancing your personal constitution type

For most people there is a typical time of the year or a certain set of emotional or psychological conditions in which they are prone to fall ill or show extreme reactions. For instance, some always get their flu in November, become depressed around Christmas or completely lethargic in spring. There are both internal and external reasons for this – and both have to do with planetary forces.
The external planetary forces change during the course of a year, and so do the elemental energies shaped by them as well as the three basic principles Salt, Sulphur and Mercury. This in turn affects humans – albeit in different ways according to each individual’s personal moulding through the elements and basic principles. People born under different signs of the zodiac have a different constitutional type. As is well known, they also tend towards certain illnesses (see more detailed information about this in the chapter “Four Elements, Four Human Energy Bodies” in the book “Metal Essences”). This basic moulding is influenced by different combinations of the three principal forces with one of the four elements:

Zodiacal sign Basic principle - - element

Aries Sulphur - - Fire
Taurus Salt - - Earth
Gemini Mercury - - Air
Cancer Sulphur - - Water
Leo Salt - - Fire
Virgo Mercury - - Earth
Libra Sulphur - - Air
Scorpio Salt - - Water
Sagittarius Mercury - - Fire
Capricorn Sulphur - - Earth
Aquarius Salt - - Air
Pisces Mercury - - Water

(The 12 signs of the zodiac and their respective dominant influences of elements and basic principles) Another modification of this basic zodiacal constitution type happens through the particular planet constellation at the time of one’s birth. Also, one’s personal constitution can be modified by particular living conditions, upbringing, diet and other powerful or long-term factors. By means of the following questionnaire the relevant constitution type (Salt, Sulphur or Mercury) can be determined. Ideally, the three basic principles show a balanced development. If the dominance of one is too strong, it should be regulated by means of specific combinations of Metal Essences. In cases of very strong contrast this harmonization of one’s constitution type should be done also before beginning a Weekly Treatment Course.
First, answer the questions referring to the Mercury type, then the ones referring to the Sulphur and Salt types. With the figures from 1 to 7 you assess how strongly a certain topic affects you, with 1 meaning minimum and 7 maximum resonance. Mind that you are exploring basic characteristics, not temporary reactions.

Now add the points in each of the three sections. If the difference between the three types is greater than 5 points, your constitution type should be harmonized; beginning with the principle which received the highest score. If two of the principles differ by just 5 points and the third has a lower score, the principle with the lowest score should be harmonized. To do that, you should take the following combination of Metal Essences over the course of one moon phase/month:

In case of Mercury dominance or deficiency:

  • Morning: 3-5 drops of Silver Essence (best if supported by Pear Essence)

  • Midday: 3-5 drops of Gold Essence (best if supported by Field Bindweed Essence)

  • Evening: 3-5 drops of Silver Essence (best if supported by Pearl Essence)

In case of Sulphur dominance or deficiency:

  • Morning: 3-5 drops of Silver Essence

  • Midday: 3-5 drops of Zinc Essence (best if supported by Emerald Essence)

  • Evening: 3-5 drops of Silver Essence (best if supported by Pearl Essence)

In case of Salt dominance or deficiency:

  • Morning: 3-5 drops of Gold Essence (best if supported by Ruby und Field Bindweed Essences)

  • Midday: 3-5 drops of Copper Essence (best if supported by Diamond und Forget-me-not Essence)

  • Evening: 3-5 drops of Silver Essence (best if supported by Pearl and Pear Essences)

After these initial three to four weeks you begin the “Weekly Treatment Course” described above. After three months of Weekly Treatment Course, do the questionnaires again. If one of the basic principles should still be dominant, stop working with the weekly rhythm and regulate the dominant or deficient type over the course of one moon phase.


Please note that the Essences are not a medication or drug in the sense of orthodox medicine and our recommendations are not to be construed as a substitute for medical treatment by a doctor. In case of illness, always first consult your doctor or health care professional.
