Feeling stressed, anxious or afraid of an upcoming event (exam, dentist, flying, public speaking), or perhaps you have recently received bad news, or suffered from an unpleasant experience?
Fortunately Dr. Bach created an emergency combination of remedies that he called Rescue Remedy. It is a mix of five different Bach Flower Remedies, which together help deal with any stressful or emergency situation. It can restore balance and a sense of calm to help you to regain your composure.
Simply take 4 drops or 2 sprays either directly into the mouth as often as required or add to a beverage of your choice and sip at intervals. It is also available as pastilles and a cream.
