For hypochondria, for those who manifest physical ailments on an on-going basis out of a need to control and keep others bound to them, punishing themselves with physical suffering in the process, for self-inflicted pain and for psychosomatic illnesses which are aimed at holding the energy and attention of others. This essence allows healing of the shame which lies at the root of this pattern of behaviour and brings a sense of self-worth and self-sufficiency. It allows one to feel grounded and supported by the Earth.
