What Are the Benefits of Bach Rescue Remedy?

Bach Rescue Remedy is an over-the-counter product for stress relief. It is a combination of five different flower essences designed to alleviate stress and give an overall positive feeling of well-being. Formulas are also available for pets and children. The product is designed for specific situations or for ongoing use in response to stress, anxiety, and panic attacks.

  1. History of Rescue Remedy

    • Rescue Remedy has been manufactured for over 60 years and was invented by Dr. Edward Bach. The product is still made today according to Dr. Bach's original specifications. In 2008, Better Nutrition Magazine named Rescue Remedy a Best of Supplement Winner. Originally available only as liquid drops, the product is now available in other formulations to make it more convenient to use and carry.

    Uses of Bach Rescue Remedy

    • Bach Rescue Remedy can be used in times of great stress or as a way to fight panic attacks.

The product is also designed to help you focus better, in addition to relaxing and bringing a sense of calm.
