Dr. Bach Flower Remedies
Dr Bach’s inspiration to develop his flower remedies came from the fact that he felt dissatisfied with the way doctors were expected to concentrate on diseases and ignore the whole person. He aspired to a more holistic approach to medicine and wanted to find remedies that would be purer and less reliant on the products of disease.
He began collecting plants and in particular flowers – the most highly-developed part of a plant – in the hope of replacing the seven homoeopathic nosodes that he had previously produced with a series of gentler remedies.
At this point he determined to devote the rest of his life to the new system of medicine that he was sure could be found in nature. Over years of trial and error, which involved preparing and testing thousands of plants, he found one by one the remedies he wanted.

Rescue Remedy
Description
- This mix was created by Dr Bach to deal with emergencies and crises – moments when there is little or no time to make a proper individual selection of remedies. It can be used to help get through stressful moments – from last-minute exam nerves to the aftermath of an accident.
Suggested Use
The crisis formula is designed to help deal with immediate problems. If you are working through an underlying problem, or if you need rescuing every day, it is recommended that you find a longer-term solution by selecting a personal blend of remedies.
Ingredients
Rescue Remedy is a blend of five different Dr. Bach flower remedies:
- Rock Rose
- Impatiens
- Cherry Plum
- Star of Bethlehem
- Clematis
Rock Rose: remedy against a panicky, terrorstruck fear that makes conscious thought and decision next to impossible. The remedy provides calm and courage. We are able to forget fear as our courage is renewed.
Impatiens: the remedy for impatience and the frustration and irritability that often go with it. The remedy helps us be less hasty and more relaxed with others and helps calm agitated thoughts and feelings.
Cherry Plum: the remedy for the fear that one is going to lose control of oneself and do something dreadful, or fear of going mad and of acting irrationally. Cherry Plum is also the remedy for a loss of control that has already taken place, because of the frantic fear and dread associated with such situations. The remedy also helps us deal with irrational thoughts.
Star of Bethlehem: the remedy for the after-effects of shock. It can be used just as well for the effects of a shock received many years ago. This is also the remedy for that sense of emptiness and loss that sometimes occurs when a loved one dies or moves away. Star of Bethlehem is a comforting remedy to take in such circumstances.Teaches the ability to recover from traumas.
Clematis: for people whose minds drift away from the present. The danger is that they are not sufficiently anchored in reality. The remedy helps bring us back to earth and back to ourselves. It is also used to bring clarity and alertness to the present moment.
