Rescue Remedy


This time of year, bills from Christmas are coming in, the weather is unpredictable, inventory work is going on in our jobs, taxes are looming, and stress is mounting. These things can build up and result in anxiety. Feelings of panic are not uncommon, and are also not pleasant. The longtime effect of relief comes from a change in diet and improving sleep habits and stress-relieving practices. That sounds great, but during a panic attack, who cares what the future can be like? We want relief NOW! This is what the Bach flower essence Rescue Remedy can do.


Let's use our imagination for a moment. Imagine you are a metal bowl, and someone walks by you and strikes you with a metal spoon. Those vibrations ring in your ears and shake your whole frame and seem to go on and on and on endlessly. In the moment, it seems like the world is crashing down on you and there is no opening to escape through. If this is happening to YOU, then let's suppose I walk by you and see this vicious vibration you are experiencing. I very gently place my hand on your shoulder, and start absorbing some of that vibration. When I do, it takes some of that intensity away from you...which gives you breathing room. The more firmly I place my hand, the more vibrations are settled and the more relief you experience. Doesn't that sound wonderful?


Rescue Remedy does this. It begins absorbing those anxious vibrations as soon as you take it. How can that be? Rescue Remedy is a liquid, and a few drops are placed under the tongue. There are 2 good sized blood vessels under the tongue that start absorbing that liquid which allows your body to begin using it right then. Because it is a flower essence, it can be taken again in 15 minutes if you feel the need for it.


Of course, this remedy does not replace a doctor nor does it replace health practices that improve your nervous strength. But it does help you find relief in the moments of panic and anxiety when they strike.


This very same remedy has been used with children and pets for the very same purposes, and comes in a lotion and a spray. The lotion is more suitable for muscles that tense during anxious times.
