Key indications
Clematis may suit you if you recognise several of these:
- Absent-minded, 'away with the fairies'
- Living for the future rather than now
- Drowsiness, poor concentration, need for lots of sleep
- Feeling faint; slow recovery after illness
The positive potential
Taken over time, Clematis helps you move from daydreaming and lack of interest in the present toward grounded focus and lively interest in life. Flower remedies work gently and gradually; most people notice the shift within a few weeks of consistent use.
How to take Clematis
- From a treatment bottle: add 2 drops of the remedy (4 drops for Rescue Remedy) to a 30 ml dropper bottle of water and take 4 drops from it at least 4 times a day.
- Directly: 2 drops on the tongue or in a glass of water, sipped through the day.
- Globules: 3–4 medicated globules under the tongue, 3–4 times a day.
- There is no fixed course length — continue until the feeling has settled, then stop. Flower remedies are non-habit-forming and safe alongside other medicines.
This is general guidance. For a remedy picture matched to your situation, book a consultation with one of our practitioners.

- What is Clematis used for?
- Clematis is the Bach flower remedy for daydreaming and lack of interest in the present. It belongs to Dr. Edward Bach's "Insufficient interest in the present" group and supports a shift toward grounded focus and lively interest in life. It is chosen according to how you feel rather than any physical symptom.
- How do I take Clematis?
- Add 2 drops of Clematis to a 30 ml dropper bottle of water and take 4 drops from it at least 4 times a day. You can also take 2 drops directly on the tongue, or 3-4 medicated globules under the tongue 3-4 times a day. There is no age restriction and no dietary restriction.
- How long does Clematis take to work?
- Most people notice a shift within a few weeks of consistent use. Acute states can settle within days, while long-standing patterns are usually worked with over several weeks or months. There is no fixed course length — continue until the feeling has settled, then stop.
- Can Clematis be taken with other remedies or medicines?
- Yes. Clematis can be combined with other flower remedies — practitioners commonly use six or seven together — and it is non-habit-forming and safe alongside prescribed medicines. Flower remedies are a complementary practice and do not replace medical treatment.
