Clematis - Clematis

• For those who are absent, dreamy, distracted, in the moon.

The Hedge Clematis is a common wild vine that sends its stems snaring bushes and hedges, climbing ever higher into the sky. During the summer, it displays a starry constellation of small, discreet flowers. This airy, invertebrate-like appearance of the wild clematis caught Bach's attention.

It corresponds to a typical profile: that of the distracted and dreamy who live with their heads in the clouds and take refuge in their dreams, day and night, indifferent to everyday things. With their feet not quite on the ground, like the plant that flees upwards, the "clematis" often bump into things, lose their keys or their way, and do not always cling tightly to life. The remedy helps to improve contact with reality and for those with an artistic temperament, to bring their visions to fruition.

“For dreamers, those who doze off, are not fully awake, do not show much interest in life. Quiet people, not really satisfied with their current condition, living more in the future than in the present, they live in the hope of a happier future where their ideals might be realized. Being sick, some will make no effort to get better, and in a way will even consider death as enviable, representing the hope of a better life or the hope of finding a loved one they have lost.” Excerpt from the 1936 edition of “The Twelve Healers,” translated into French by C. Lévi and G. Wolf.
