This is general information about a homeopathic remedy, not a prescription or dosing advice. In homeopathy the correct remedy and potency are chosen for the whole individual symptom picture by a qualified homeopath — the same remedy is not right for everyone. Do not self-medicate, and consult a qualified homeopathic doctor (and your physician for serious or persistent conditions) before taking any remedy.

The characteristic picture & modalities

Clematis Erecta centres chiefly on the urinary tract — an interrupted, dribbling stream that flows in fits and starts, with a need to wait and strain before urination begins and burning in the urethra during and after passing water. Its picture also takes in certain itchy skin eruptions, worse from the warmth of the bed, and glandular complaints such as testicular swelling. Symptoms tend to be worse at night and from washing in cold water. This is a recognisable pattern, not a diagnosis, fitting only some whose state genuinely matches it.

Before you take Clematis Erecta

Read this as background, not as a prescription. In homeopathy the remedy and potency are matched to your whole individual picture by a qualified homeopath, not chosen from a single keynote, and you should not self-select a potency from what you read here. An interrupted or weak urinary stream can also reflect obstruction or significant prostate trouble, so urinary symptoms need medical or urological assessment. Use this page only to understand the remedy's traditional uses, and seek professional guidance for any severe, persistent or worsening symptom before acting.
