• For those who are absent, dreamers, absent-minded, daydreamers.

The Hedge Clematis is a wild and common vine that throws its stems up bushes and hedges to climb ever higher towards the sky. During the summer, it unfurls a starry constellation of small, discreet-looking flowers. This airy, almost invertebrate appearance of the wild clematis caught Bach's attention.

It corresponds to a typical profile: that of the absent-minded and dreamers who live with their heads in the clouds and take refuge in their dreams, day and night, indifferent to everyday matters. With their feet not quite on the ground, like the plant that escapes upwards, "clematis" types often bump into things, lose their keys or their way, and don't always hold on tightly to life. The remedy helps to improve contact with reality and, for artistic temperaments, to bring their visions to fruition.

"For those who are absent-minded, who drift off, are not fully awake, and show little interest in life. Calm people, not entirely satisfied with their present circumstances, living more in the future than in the present, they live in the hope of a happier future where their ideals could be realized. When ill, some will make no effort to get better, and in a way will even consider death as desirable, representing the hope of a better life or the hope of being reunited with a loved one they have lost." Excerpt from the 1936 edition of "The Twelve Healers", translated into French by C. Lévi and G. Wolf.
