What is Rescue Remedy© & Rescue Remedy Cream©?
Dr. Bach created an emergency combination of Essences which he called Rescue Remedy. It contains five different Essences: Star of Bethlehem, Clematis, Impatiens, Cherry Plum and Rock Rose. Rescue Remedy is worth carrying with you in case of emergencies or everyday stress. Rescue Remedy helps you go through difficult situations, stressful events, an exam or job interview in a calm and relaxed matter.
Rescue Remedy Cream©, contains the same five Essences as Rescue Remedy with added Crab Apple. The cream is for external applications such as bruises, diaper rash, sprains, burns, stings, scratches and other skin conditions.

What happens if I take too much of the Remedy?
It is impossible to overdose with the Bach Flower Remedies, they are 100% natural and safe. You can drink a whole bottle of Essences and not "overdose". However, if you think that "more is better" you are wrong. The Bach Flower Remedies work best over a period of time, taken from the treatment or stock bottle at least 4 times a day.

What happens if I take the wrong Remedy?
Nothing is going to happen if you take the wrong Remedy, the Remedies only work on the energy level that we are having problems with. For example, if you have a "known fear" (MIMULUS) and take ASPEN "unknown fear", nothing is going to happen. Your "known fear" will stay and ASPEN wouldn't do anything to you.

What are the difference between Essential Oil and The Bach Flower Remedies©?
Essential Oil: As the name says it is oils from different plants and flowers. The smell very strongly, some of them should be avoided for people with different illnesses, pregnancy, in the sun etc. The Essential Oils comes from the whole world, however, the quality can easily be very different because some farmers cheat and mix in cheap oils.
Bach Flower Remedies©: They do not smell, they can never do any harm to anyone at any time, they are made by infusion of wild plants & flowers from a certain area in England.
The Bach Flower Remedies are considered homeopathic. The Bach Flower Remedies are produced at one location from the directions of Dr. Edward Bach who died in 1936. Dr. Bach was VERY specific with the directions on how & when to make the Remedies. He said, just before he died, that many people will try to imitate and copy the Remedies and his assistances had to promise NEVER to alter the 38 Essences, because he knew that there would be no more need for more than the 38 and the directions that he had given were the best possible.
