This is the Bach flower essence for people who are detached from "real life." They prefer to live in the world created within their own minds, and show little response to either good or bad news. This does not endear him to his fellow man, as he exhibits a complete disinterest in other people's enthusiasms or problems. 
Because most of their psychic energies are used up on the inner planes, Clematis people show little anxiety or aggression - or excitement. 

Homeopathy with Edel
A 58 year old man came to my practice. He had a history of high blood pressure and heart arrhythmia. He is curt in how he expresses himself but he is open and honest. He is a fit man.
First Visit: Dialogue
Pains down the legs post heart attack
‘ I get pains in my legs. I never had it before the heart attack’.
‘It just got worse and worse, especially after working, cramp, stand up and the legs feel tight, mostly on the thighs and then right through the whole legs.’
‘I got three stints put in. The arteries were blocked. They said the valves were ok’.
‘I was three months out of work. When I woke up in the hospital my sister and my brother were at the end of the bed. That is where I was! I appreciate them now because they are what I have now.’
‘I got to thinking and then time was long, marriage breaking up, away from the kids, living away from my people’.
‘I got very sad reflecting on that. When I got working time went faster and I was better for that.’
‘I like to think positive, not negative. I try to see the bright side of things.’

​How it all began!
Happy 22nd Birthday – A  Promise of Health
Humans are creatures of habit. We generally, but not always, like a routine. Comfort often comes from knowing the things we depend upon will be here tomorrow.
 
In our lives, though we have experienced a lot of change, sometimes just thinking about what it might bring can make us pretty nervous. But experience also teaches us that often, the changes we worry about most, seldom turn out quite as dire as we imagined.
 
Thankfully, this is not a story of what we worry about. Instead, it is a story how one person sought to solve a problem with change and how her grand idea inspired so many of us to help make that change. A change that brings new hope to thousands of the forgotten, hopefully for decades to come!

Cathy Lemmon (Hpathy April 2023)
The Merck Manual Home Health Handbook (© 2009) presents the idea that disease-causing agents are “invaders” of the body.  As with most conventional medical texts, this book seems to prefer referencing these items using terminology that can incite fear and a desire for aggression towards these “invaders”.  This is fine, as the conventional idea envelopes the idea of fighting off disease.
 
Even the founder of homeopathy himself, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843), referred to sometimes “murderous”4 substances that can cause illness to come upon the body.  However, he was very clear in how these are most appropriately viewed – that illness was not caused by something outside the body.  Rather, the body will present symptoms commensurate with its susceptibility to what these agents present and how receptive to these our bodies are.
