In this particular homeopathic remedy, I use the same flower essences as the popular brand name “Rescue Remedy” from Bach Flower Essences. It is a combination of five flower remedies: Rock Rose, Impatiens, Cherry Plum, Star of Bethlehem and Clematis and preserved with a hint of brandy (or glycerin for children and pets) and distilled water.
The original “Rescue Remedy” was created by Dr. Edward Bach to deal with emergencies, grief, trauma, crisis, or stressful situations and with the world we live in, something is bound to come up. R2R Rescue helps us to relax and find that ever elusive level of patience, re-focus on what’s important, provide grounding in our minds and get the needed calmness to cope with stress.
Ingredients (descriptions below taken directly from the Bach Flower website):
Impatiens: For those who act and think quickly and have no patience for what they see as the slowness of others. They often prefer to work alone. Teaches empathy and understanding of and patience with others. We’ve found it very fast-acting in alleviating an impatient attitude and lowering stress.
Star of Bethlehem: For trauma and shock, whether experienced recently or in the past. Teaches the ability to recover from traumas and to integrate them into the present life.
Cherry Plum: For those who fear losing control of their thoughts and actions and doing things they know are bad for them or which they consider wrong. Teaches trust in one’s spontaneous wisdom and the courage to follow one’s path.
Rock Rose: For situations in which one experiences panic or terror.
Clematis: For those who find their lives unhappy and withdraw into fantasy worlds. They are ungrounded and indifferent to the details of everyday life. Teaches one to establish a bridge between the physical world and the world of ideas; may foster great creativity. Is also used to bring clarity and alertness to the present moment.
