Description: Clematis is a climber and can reach a height of 40 feet. It loves warmth and grows in forests and in shrubs. The white or white-green blossoms are fragrant and have four sepals and many long stamens. In the Autumn, these become long silvery threads that give the plant its nickname Old Man's Beard. Clematis blooms from July to September.
The aims of this flower essence:
One is absent-minded, shows little attention to one´s surrounding. Daydreamer.
Dr. Bach wrote:
Are you one of those who find that life has not much interest: who wake almost wishing there were not another day to face: that life is so difficult, so hard, and has so little joy: that nothing really seems worth while, and how good it would be just to go to sleep: that it is scarcely worth the effort to try and get well? Have your eyes that far-away look as though you live in dreams and find the dreams so much more beautiful than life itself: or are your thoughts, perhaps, more often with someone who has passed out of this life? If you feel this way you are learning 'to hold on when there is nothing in you except the will which says to you - hold on!' and it is a very great victory to win through. (Free Thyself, 1932)
Those who are dreamy, drowsy, not fully awake, no great interest in life. Quiet people, not really happy in their present circumstances, living more in the future than in the present; living in hopes of happier times, when their ideals may come true. In illness some make little or no effort to get well, and in certain may even look forward to death, in the hope of better times; or maybe, meeting again some beloved one whom they have lost. (The 12 Healers and other remedies, 1936)
