Fuchsite accesses knowledge with great practical value, including information regarding herbal treatment and holistic remedies. It suggests the most holistic action to take and receives guidance on health matters and well-being.

Fuchsite deals with issues of servitude from past or present lives. It reverses a tendency toward martyrdom, and is excellent for those who instantly fall into savior or rescuer mode, whether it be to save one person or a group, and who then quickly become victims. It shows one how to be of service without becoming embroiled in power struggles or false humility. Many people who serve do so out of a feeling of “not being good enough,” and Fuchsite teaches true self-worth. Fuchsite shows you how to do only what is appropriate and necessary for someone else’s soul growth and assists you to stand by placidly while they learn their own lessons. It combines unconditional love with the tough love that says “no more.” It is useful for combating a situation in which you appear to be “helping” and yet are actually gaining great psychological satisfaction from keeping the other person dependent. Fuchsite releases both souls to their own unique pathway.

It is particularly helpful for “the identified patient” within a family or group situation on whom dis-ease and tension is projected. The identified patient becomes ill or addicted on behalf of the family. When they want to become well, the family often puts pressure on the patient to remain “ill” or dependent. Fuchsite gives the identified patient the strength to find wellness and to withdraw from the family conflict. Fuchsite overcomes codependency and emotional blackmail. It imparts resilience after trauma or emotional tension.
