Mind
Glechoma patients feel like orphans who have to adapt to be accepted and recognized by the adoptive parents. They do not rebel even to strong rules:’I keep a low profile, because I am well off here.’ All Lamiaceae can comply to the demands of others, but a Glechoma patient, like an orphan, not only tries to belong to the family but at the same time has the feeling not to belong. This alternation of feelings places Glechoma in stage 5. They are afraid to be abandoned. ‘If I live, they will desert me’. I am bothered when I am treated as a basket case’.
