Floral Rescue fights anxiety, stress, fear and more

Bach’s Floral Rescue works in emergency situations, that is, it is intended for the soul’s first aid in order to restore balance after an unexpected emotional upheaval.

It is used in crisis situations and in those moments when it is not possible to make a more exact choice of remedies.

You can use it if you feel anxious before exams, surgeries, exams, work presentations or job interviews; immediately after an accident or robbery; unexpected loss of loved ones or any kind of acute stressful situation.

When the problems are chronic, old, rooted, it is best to make a more assertive choice among the 38 Bach Flower Remedies that exist, assessing the person’s emotional and individual conditions.

The essences that make up Floral Rescue

In addition to the 38 essences that exist, Dr. Bach developed a synergy that was called Rescue. Initially it was composed of only three essences: Impatiens, Clematis and Rock Rose. Later, two more essences were added to it: Star of Bethlehem and Cherry Plum, forming the Rescue we know today.

Impatiens: it is part of the group of essences of “Loneliness”. This floral balances impatience, frustration and irritability. Therefore, it is aimed at people who are impatient with others and who are easily angered.

It is also useful for those who think fast and want to solve everything on the fly, do not tolerate slow people and generally prefer to be alone to do things at their own pace.

The essence helps to maintain patience, relaxation, kindness and balance, helping to wait for the right or most opportune moment.

Clematis: it is part of the group of essences of “Lack of interest in the present”. It helps people who dream too much and realize too little.

In addition, it brings grounding to minds floating in fantasies and the future, to those who create imaginary situations of success, but are not sufficiently “with their feet on the ground” to carry them out.

It also helps people who live in the hope of better days, but do absolutely nothing to improve. Therefore, it is used by discouraged and dreamy people, who let themselves be easily defeated by not fighting in the present and dreaming that something magical will happen.

The floral brings creativity and practicality to actually make dreams and projects come true, in addition to “feet on the ground”, for the person to return to the present.

Rock Rose: it is part of the group of essences of “Fear”, as it works with terror and panic. It helps at times when decision-making is impaired due to panic, that is, the person is unable to control himself and is overcome by a dominant fear.

Used in situations where the person thinks there is no hope and is terrified. It can be used in cases where someone has had a serious accident or discovered to have a more serious illness.

The floral brings the necessary calm and courage to re-establish self-control and dispel fear, helping to face the situation in a more lucid way.

Star of Bethlehem: it is part of the group of essences of “Despair”, as it helps those who are inconsolable, due to past or present traumas.

The floral works on the post-shock effects caused by bad news or any other unwanted situation.

It is also indicated for people who are anguished and unhappy because they are experiencing situations of family loss, whether due to death or moving, reducing the feeling of “emptiness inside” that usually arises as a result of difficult situations.

It is considered the consoling essence of the soul, which helps heal emotional and physical wounds.

Cherry Plum: it is part of the group of essences of “Fear”, as it works with the fear of losing control in all senses: mental, emotional and physical.

Helps in cases where the person has a real fear of harming someone or themselves, or hurting loved ones. He also works on the fear of mental exhaustion, of losing reason and doing something he considers wrong.

It brings mental, emotional and physical self-control. Clarifies the feelings that are in conflict, makes you “get in line” and come to your senses.

Crab Apple: found only in the Rescue cream version, it is part of the “Despair” essence group, as it works on emotional and mental cleansing.

It helps people who feel dirty, impure, who don’t accept themselves physically, who focus on details and forget to look at the whole. These are people who want to heal or get rid of something that plagues their minds, even if it’s not as important as bigger issues that are hidden inside.

Floral brings clarity to the mind and helps to see problems or defects exactly the size and proportion they are. It is also a flower essence that cleans physical wounds.

Ways to find Floral Rescue

Stock: is the liquid essence, found in 10 ml bottles.
Cream: It has the same formulation as Stock, however with the addition of Crab Apple floral essence.
Spray: It has the same formulation as Stock, but in a spray version to facilitate application in certain situations. 20 ml bottle.

how to use

Stock: drip 4 drops into a water bottle or glass of water and drink throughout the day. Can be taken 1 to 2 days as needed. If there is no water nearby, drip 4 drops directly into the mouth, once a day.

Remember that it is an emergency essence, made for moments of crisis or unexpected, immediate difficulties.

If the imbalances continue after a period of two days, it is best to seek the help of a floral therapist to assess the emotional conditions and thus formulate a remedy that is more suitable for the problem.

Spray: use 2 sprays in the mouth, which correspond to the 4 drops of the stock. The spray can be used in situations of dental and oral problems, such as canker sores and gum inflammation, bruises, cuts, infected wounds, insect bites, surgeries, burns and skin inflammation.
Cream: apply (externally) a small amount to the affected area. Useful in cases of burns, post-surgical healing, insect bites, bumps, allergies, acne, skin inflammation, swelling, torticollis and muscle pain.

Observation: the two shapes personally created by Edward Bach were the stock and the cream. After his death, the Bach Centre, located at Mount Vernon Cottage in the village of Brightwell-cum-Sotwell, South Oxfordshire, was left in the care of his friends Nora Weeks, Victor Bullen and Mary Tabor, to continue his work. With the success of florals all over the world, other products were created and in the Rescue line other presentations appeared, such as:

Gums in orange, currant and cranberry flavors Gum in orange and elderflower flavor Refreshing gel: neutral gel option with Rescue composition for those who do not like cream Capsules: gelatin, containing 4 drops of Rescue. Spray in the Energy version, in which, in addition to the 5 Rescue essences, the Olive essence is added. Rescue sleep: has the basic composition of Rescue, plus White Chestnut essence. This formulation is found both in drops (stock) and spray.

Bach Flower Remedies: History and curiosities

The Bach flower system was discovered between 1928 and 1935 by bacteriologist and pathologist Edward Bach.

The specialist began his research by looking at English flowers and making connections between their properties and certain illnesses, as if health problems were the result of a conflict between the soul’s designations and the personality’s achievements and healing.

Initially Dr. Bach discovered 12 flower essences, which he called “The 12 Healers”. They are: Impatiens, Mimulus, Clematis, Agrimony, Chicory, Vervain, Centaury, Cerato, Scleranthus, Water Violet, Gentian and Rock Rose.

Through use on his patients and monitoring the effects on them, Dr. Bach realized that some did not respond so well to the treatment, as they had suffered illnesses and negative emotional states for a long time, causing the imbalances to be very rooted and crystallized in the soul.

So he discovered four other essences, which he called “The 4 Helpers”: Gorse, Oak, Heather and Rock Water. Later he came to discover three more essences: Vine, Olive and Wild Oat, which were added to the previous 4 auxiliaries, thus forming what he called “The 7 Auxiliaries”.

Over the years, Dr. Bach even discovered 19 more essences, thus forming the set of 38 essences of the Bach Flower Remedies.

He divided them into seven groups, according to personality types: “Fear”, “Uncertainty and insecurity”, “Lack of interest in the present”, “Loneliness”, “Hypersensitivity to external influences”, “Despair” and “Excessive care for the others”.
