Can you use rescue remedy before surgery?

It is generally not advisable to use rescue remedy before surgery. Rescue remedy is a homeopathic remedy that contains a combination of five different Bach flower essences, and it is not regulated or approved by the FDA. Although rescue remedy is widely used for anxiety relief and other emotional support, it is not a medical treatment and has not been specifically tested or proven to be effective for use before or during surgery.

For anxiety and emotional support before surgery, it is important to talk to a healthcare professional about safe and effective options, such as relaxation techniques, breathing exercises, or prescription medications if needed. Please consult with your doctor or other healthcare professional before using any homeopathic remedies or supplements prior to surgery.
