This group of remedies is characterized by a disconnection from the present moment. Individuals in need of these remedies may find themselves either dwelling on the past, daydreaming about the future, or experiencing a general lack of interest and engagement in their current situation. These remedies aim to bring individuals back into the present, fostering a sense of awareness, vitality, and active participation in life, promoting a more active and engaged approach to life.
