Hi peeps,
does anyone have any experience of taking rescue remedy and if so was it any good.

Liz will be able to tell you when she comes on as I am sure she has taken it.

It made no difference to me when I took it on one occasion. But I think I probably needed something more heavy duty. I know it works for some friends of mine and doesn't do any harm.

One of my daughters used to work in an alternative health food store, which sold this. Sorry to say she says it was absolutely usless, many, many customers came back with complaints about this product.MInd you, many may find it does help...?Hope I don't upset anyone by posting this?

Just depends on what you need the rescue remedy for as there are 5 remedied..

Have a look at the site for Dr Bach's flower remedies..and you can read all about them..they are very good for me as I am very impatient when someone either walsk too slow or gets in my way going to the supermarket.

I have used it and did find it helped .I had the spray .Just a couple of sprays whenever you begin to feel a bit stressed or uncomfortable situ (or whatever),as often as you need.I found it very helpful for me when I had to visit my Mum in the Care home,knowing when I got there she would be pleading for me to get her out of there and take her home :-(I could feel myself getting wound up before I arrived so a good few squirts and a deep breath before helped tremendously .
It isn't particularly cheap but well worth trying.Good luck to you or whoever is thinking using it.
It is used for pets too in their water in stressful situations :-D

Santa sue is right ...you really need the right liquid to address the problem ...Rescue remedy has about 5 in but if they dont address the under lying problem its useless!!!

Check the website for the right remedy for the right complaint. then take for a good 5days to show good results

Thank you all for your helpful comments.
I sugested it to my son as he is going through a very stressful time at the moment, his m-i-law has to have open heart surgery soon and his f-i-law is disabled.my son & d-i-law are going through the process of IVF and he has a very stressful job and he is finding it hard to cope with things which is unusual for him as he is usually a very gentle giant sort of person.I know of somebody who takes rescue remedy but thought I would ask you peeps as you are all so very good with comments. Thank you again. :-) :-)

Yes, I use it often, have done for years, and in fact bought some for my son the other day as he says he finds he is often getting anxious these days - he has a lot going on in his life at the mo. I don't know if he will remember to take it, but hope he will. He did say to me Do you think it has a sort of placebo effect but if it does, it still helps, as I have found on many occasions. I also got him some vit b complex tablets as vit b helps nerves and such. There are other things you can take, I used to take Passiflora with Ativa regularly and that helped damp down my anxious feelings. Eating porridge oats helps keep people calm (the ativa in the drops comes from oats) The good thing about Rescue Remedy is that you can take it fairly often if needs be, and it can be taken with some medications altho best to check with the pharmacist when buying it or ask the doctor if you are on any medication. The spray is ok but seems to go all over the place but you can easily pop 4 drops on your tongue discreetly from the ordinary bottles, you don't have to put it in water to take altho you can do if at home where you can leave some ready prepared.

Good luck to your son, he certainly has his hands full. I hope his m.i.l.'s surgery goes well and his f.i.l. will be ok while she is in hospital. I wish your son and d.i.l. luck with the ivf, and your son good luck with his job. Maybe he should talk to his boss if the job is stressful and ask for some time off or an assistant, bosses have a duty to care for an employee's mental health as well as physical health as in Health and Safety rules.

I used it last month,before I had an MRI...did me no good,I'll say no more lol

I used the pastilles. It could well have been the act of opening the tin and then sucking the pastille (or viciously chomping it when really stressed lol) that helped, but it served it's purpose at the time for me :-)

Thank you ladies.
Liz,Thank you for your kind words about my son.He has talked to his boss and he is very understanding and he had a long chat with us which I think (and hope) has helped. I got him some rescue remedy yesterday and we will see if it helps, fingers crossed.
