Review of Bach Flower Rescue Remedy

I have used Bach flower remedies for many years now. There are 38 different Flower Essences that work to correct emotional imbalances, replacing negative emotions with positive ones. In this review I am going to write about "Rescue Remedy".
Rescue Remedy is actually a combination of 5 different flower essences and has been specifically created to be used in stressful or traumatic moments. For example, before taking an exam, or after getting bad news, before a job interview, those situations where we lose our emotional and mental balance and can feel off kilter.
Please refer to Bach Flower Remedy website for more in-depth information. Here you will also be able to read about Dr. Edward Bach , the founder and creator of these amazing essences.

About the product:

The essences are made from spring water that has been infused with wild flowers. The remedies work at a vibrational level to help restore equilibrium to the emotional body. Consider that every living thing emits a vibration, and then think about the vibration or essence that certain flowers and plants have. How does it feel to be around flowers? How does it feel when someone gives you flowers? What effect does the scent of certain plants have upon your senses? How do the different colors effect you?
When we feel out of sorts , our bodies and minds are essentially out of balance. The theory is that using certain vibrational remedies such as Bach Flower Remedies can help to address the imbalance, by restoring a positive in place of the negative. So for example if you woke up one morning feeling anxious, then the positive expression of anxiety would be calmness. There is essentially a flower remedy that can help balance this emotion.

How I tested the product :

I first came across the products over 14 years ago, and Rescue Remedy has become a staple in my medicine cabinet. I use it whenever I get uneasy feelings, or when am nervous . I have used it to great effect when I want to wind down before bed. I use it for my child if he gets nervous before an exam, and when he was little I used to give it to him if he got scared. I find it to be a subtle yet highly effective remedy for me . If I have butterflies in my stomach, or feel agitated I take a few drops of the remedy in water and gently I can feel the unease lifting. It's a totally holistic and natural way to address emotional upsets and has zero side effects.

Pros :

• Available in a spray bottle , a dropper bottle , pastilles and an alcohol- free formula suitable for kids or people who need to avoid any alcohol whatsoever. (Otherwise the essence is in a small amount of brandy as a preserver).
• Available in a cream formula called Rescue Remedy Cream that can be used on external traumas such as bruises, cuts, sprains, rashes etc.
• Readily available online or in health stores.
• Non -habit forming, promotes the body to self heal.
• Has a good website with plenty of information
  
• Easy to take, can be used on plants and animals too!

Cons :

None in my opinion. This remedy is the real deal.

Conclusion :

Safe, gentle, natural, homeopathic....it works! Carry one in your purse and use it whenever life throws its curve balls at you. I have found that it relieves stress, fear, anxiety, anger, impatience.... those conditions that are universal in all of us from time to time. It is perfectly safe for children, animals, plants, pregnant women, sick people. It won't contradict any other medications or vitamins/herbs you may be on.
I give this product 5 stars out of 5 because for me it has worked wonderfully well. I love the philosophy behind it and it fits in with the way I want to live my life.... healthily!
