Bach Original Rescue Remedy
Rescue Remedy is perhaps the most widely known of the Flower Remedies. Whilst Rescue Remedy can’t replace medical treatment. It can help in times of extreme stress or trauma. These are times when our emotional and physical energy is depleted leading to an energetic trauma - the sudden slam of a door, bad news, or an accident involving loss of consciousness are examples of when this can happen. When our energies are depleted in this way it can slow down or even stop the healing process.
Bach Original Rescue Remedy can help to reduce the effects of these situations and prevent the energy being depleted and allows the healing processes to get underway. It should be taken immediately before an energetic trauma is likely to occur or immediately afterwards.
Rescue Remedy can also help people who have witnessed an incident, bystanders and people that offered help to regain their composure.
Rescue Remedy is a blend of 5 flower essences:
Star of Bethlehem
Rock Rose
Impatiens
Cherry Plum
Clematis

DOSAGE
DROPS
The dose will vary depending on circumstances.
Rescue Remedy is made up to twice the strength of all other Flower Remedies, adding 4 drops from the stock bottle to a 30ml medicine bottle.
In acute cases, 4 drops from the stock bottle are added to a cup of water. Sips of this are taken until the shocked feeling abates. After that, a sip is given every 15, 30 or 60 minutes.
If there is no water or other drink available, Rescue Remedy may be given undiluted, directly from the stock bottle.
If the person is unconscious, put Rescue Remedy from the medicine bottle, or if need be also the stock bottle, on the lips, gums, temples, fontanelle, back of the neck, behind the ear or on the wrists.
If Rescue Remedy needs to be taken over a period of time, 4 drops are given 4 times daily from the medicine bottle.
Rescue Remedy may also be used externally, in compresses, packs, etc., using about 6 drops from the medicine bottle to a pint of water.
For burns, sprains, stings, bumps or blows it can also be used in its concentrated form, directly from the stock bottle.
Rescue Remedy can also be used as a cream, for all external problems. It can also be helpful in massage prior to the lubricant, and it can be used as a form of precautionary application to the skin where friction is created - e.g. before running, playing tennis, etc, to help prevent soreness or blistering.
For treating animals
4 drops from the medicine bottle are added to the drinking water or milk or sprinkled over the food.
For large animals, 10 drops per bucket of water or, if more convenient, some drops on a cube of sugar. Often indicated remedies can be included should the need arise.
For treating plants
Another use for Rescue Remedy is when plants have suffered a shock - after repotting, planting out, following exposure to frost or to pests.10 drops from the medicine bottle are added per gallon of water. The plant is watered with this as normally, at least for two or three days, or its leaves are sprayed.
SIDE EFFECTS
Whilst Rescue Remedy can be helpful in many situations it shouldn’t become a form of daily medication, it is to be used as an occasional medication, and should not take the place of ongoing daily medication.
It’s very rare for Flower Remedies to have any side effects, however in rare cases people can experience what is known as 'aggravation', this is simply that the original symptoms are temporarily intensified and you may feel worse for a short period of time before you start to notice benefits.
