This may be repetitious, as I'm reading posts from the 15th. Lisa and Chris , I asked at a health food store about this rescue remedy. It a "Bach Flower Remedy" and is a combination of Rock Rose, Star of Bethlehem, Impatiens, Cherry Plum and Clematis and is reported to have a stabilizing and calming effect in a great variety of stress-inducing situations. "It is reported to have brought comfort and calm to those who have experienced serious news, severe upset and traumatic experience which often leads to numbed and dazed state of mind. It is also reputed helpful in less severe instances such as arguments, examination, stage-fright, visits to the dentists, etc." I'm not promoting it, or advertising, but relaying info. I don't know how I feel about it and am trying to remember how it was mentioned first in these postings. I think it was used when mom was engorged and upset and someone suggested cabbage leaves and this "rescue remedy"? (It is also available in a cream combined with Crab Apple and is a non-lanolin, non-antiseptic, and homeopathically prepared for cuts, burns, bruises, sprains, stings bites, massage and chiropractic needs) Kathy Bodden
