Bach Original Flower Remedies Clematis 20ml Liquid

The world of imagination and inner life is a rich and valuable place - but for some people it becomes more real, more appealing, and more consistently inhabited than the actual world around them. Clematis is the Bach Original Flower Remedy for those whose tendency to daydream, fantasise, and drift into a pleasant inner world has become a way of avoiding the full experience of being present in their own life.

Dr Bach described the Clematis type as dreamy, drowsy, and not fully awake to life around them. They may be highly creative and imaginative, with rich inner worlds, but they have difficulty engaging with the practical demands of everyday life and may find themselves drifting off in conversation, losing track of time, or feeling that the future - some better, more ideal future - is more interesting than the present.

When Dreams Replace Life

The Clematis state is one of gentle withdrawal - not the sharp retreat of the Water Violet type or the fearful hiding of Mimulus, but a floating, somewhat vague absence from the present. These are often gentle, artistic, sensitive individuals who find the demands and disappointments of the concrete world somewhat harsh compared to the softer landscape of their inner world. In its mild form, this quality produces creativity and vision. In the Clematis state, it has tipped into a habitual absence that limits full engagement with life.

Clematis is also associated with a certain indifference to the physical body - forgetting to eat, not noticing cold or discomfort, having relatively little interest in physical sensation. There may be a slight quality of not being fully in the body, of occupying the world lightly.

Grounding the Creative Spirit

Clematis is thought to support greater presence and engagement - helping the dreamer to bring their gifts into contact with the actual world rather than a projected ideal one. Many people find that using this remedy supports better concentration, greater aliveness to the present, and a more grounded engagement with the creative and practical demands of their lives without losing the quality of imagination that makes them who they are.

Clematis is one of the five flowers in Rescue Remedy, included for its grounding quality in moments of shock or dissociation. Bach Original Flower Remedies are prepared in England to Dr Bach's original standards and are preserved in grape alcohol, with no known pharmaceutical interactions.

Bringing the Dream Into the World

Clematis gently supports the journey from the inner world to the outer one - the realisation that life, fully inhabited, has its own beauty and possibility that no dream can quite match. For those who have been living somewhere else, this remedy offers a quiet but significant homecoming.
