Clematis recta (Clem.)

Clematis recta (Clem.) appears in 269 rubrics in the Repertory. Of these, 18 are single-remedy rubrics in which only this remedy is listed, and 9 are small rubrics with at most two other remedies. The emphasis lies on Delusions, plus Cheerfulness, Elation, Slowness and Sighing. The picture is that of a person whose floor and bed begin to sway and whose mood alternates between elation and exhaustion.

The Unsteady Ground

The delusions are predominantly delusions of motion. The floor moves, the bed seems to move, on waking the person feels the motion of bed and floor; the illusion that the bed is in motion also prevents sleep. In addition come the idea of suddenly falling and that of falling through an electric shock. Hands appear too large. The delusion of having danced all night rounds out the picture: the body seems never to come fully to rest.

Elation and Exhaustion

The mood follows the same wave. Elation alternates with exhaustion or is followed by it, and cheerfulness too turns into prostration. Opposed to this is a discontented disposition without cause, to which slowness with indifference belongs. Listed only here is, moreover, running with great ease and swiftness.

Homesickness and Restlessness

Homesickness combines with boredom and slowness, restlessness with the night after four o'clock. In fever laziness and a sighing related to the head set in. The evening brings taciturnity, which is listed as an amelioration.

Summary

Clem. appears as the picture of a person without firm ground: floor and bed give way, the mood turns from exuberance into exhaustion, and in the evening, in stillness, some calm returns.
