Rescue Remedy is the most famous of the Bach Remedies, but in fact is not “a remedy” at all.  Instead it’s a blend of five different Bach Flower Remedies. 

This mix was created by Dr Bach to deal with emergencies and crises - It can be used to help us successfully get through any stressful situations where we suffer from impatience, tension and pressure; from speaking in pubic, a last-minute exam or interview nerves, to the aftermath of an accident or bad news. It has also been used successfully with children to help calm them and stop a tantrum.

Rescue Remedy helps us relax, focus and get the calmness needed in our busy lives.  The Rescue Remedy is designed to help deal with immediate problems.  Many people chose to carry Rescue Remedy in their purse, briefcase, at the office, in the car or in a diaper bag.   You just never know when you need it.

Rescue Remedy contains:
