Isn't it amazing that whenever we hear a new word of idea or product, all at
once we bump into it everywhere?

Rescue Remedy is usually used in its tincture form.  But there is RR cream
for topical use. The dosage is 4 drops under the tongue, or it can be added
to a small amount of water and it can also be used topically.

 Some health food stores carry only the original Bach Flower Remedies and
others carry Healing Herbs Five Flower Formula. If anyone wants imformation
on the latter for yourself or your health food store email me privately.

I hesitate to list all of the uses I have for it because it begins to sound
like "snake oil" that cures in-grown toenails and male-pattern baldness,
along with improving eye sight.  I recommend it for problems that are
created or made worse by stress and frustration.  And we know that that
covers a lot. I sometimes describe its effect as helping bring one's body
chemistry back into balance.

I began recommending it when I would walk into a home and mom was
overwhelmed with all that was not going well with breastfeeding, and she was
in tears, and the 2-year-old wouldn't take a nap, and the laundry was piling
up, and what was she going to do. I would invite her to sip a little water
with these 4 drops in it.  I described its effect as similar to a cup of
relaxing tea. Very soon she was feeling that she could see some solutions to
her problems and we could get to work on the b'feeding problem.  If she
wanted to use it I would leave a small 7 1/2 ml (1/4 oz) bottle of it for
her. As time went on I saw its effectiveness in more situations.

Anyone interested in further uses I have found, let me know.
