Bach drops do not do this, since their effect on the body is very mild, the body perceives them well. They are not capable of causing harm to the body, on the contrary, only health, peace and strength.

Action of Rescue Remedy on the body

The human psyche has the ability to resist emotional experiences. Being exposed to minor and major stress every day, the human body has developed a certain psychological defense system. Depending on the individual, it works differently for each person. Many people, having a weak defense system, have a hard time coping with stress and psycho-emotional stress. Also, people who have chronic diseases of internal organs are less resistant to stress and are susceptible to neurotic manifestations, depression, feelings of anxiety, fear and restlessness.

Dr. Bach's medications are designed to increase resistance to emotional experiences and restore the body after mental trauma.

The homeopathic drug Rescue Remedy eliminates disorders of the nervous system at the molecular level, harmonizes the transmission of nerve impulses, prevents or relieves foci of excitation of the cerebral cortex, and improves the biochemical composition of the blood. The drug softens the experience of various negative situations and increases the body's resistance to stress.

Directions for use and dosage

If taken for preventive purposes, for example, before a stressful or important event, 2-4 drops of essence are dissolved in ⅓ glass of water, or simply dripped under the tongue.

If you just need to relieve fear, stress or just nervous tension, take the same 2-4 drops of the drug 4 times a day for 2-3 days. They are either dripped directly under the tongue or dissolved in a third of a glass of water.

In case of treatment of severe stressful or nervous conditions, the drug is taken in the same dosage for 2-3 months.

Bach drops are approved for use by children. Before using the drug for infants and young children, a preliminary consultation with a neurologist and pediatrician is recommended. For children over 6 years of age who experience increased excitability, sleep disturbances, increased anxiety, mood swings, moodiness, it is allowed to take 2-4 drops of the drug 4 times a day for 2-3 weeks. In the first days of taking the drug, it is recommended to especially carefully monitor the child’s condition and behavior in order to promptly notice individual reactions to the components of the drug.

In general, the drug has proven effectiveness when taken by all groups of patients.

If necessary, the drug is approved for use by pregnant women, however, it is not recommended to start taking it without first consulting a doctor.

Despite the fact that Bach drops do not cause adverse reactions and also have no contraindications, their continuous use is strictly prohibited, since this can become addictive and lead to the drug no longer having the expected effect on the body. It is not recommended to take these drops for more than 2 months. If necessary, the course of treatment can be repeated, but after a break of 3 months.

Dr. Bach

Edward Bach was born on September 24, 1886 in England. He was a famous homeopath and bacteriologist of his time. His main work was a selection of flowers called “Bach Flower Remedies”, created in the 30s of the last century. The basis for the work was traditional homeopathy, which Dr. Bach studied for many years.

As the doctor himself pointed out, he was looking for the very essence of the flower, its energy. Therefore, only flowers were used for research, and not the plants themselves. The study took place in 1930. In spring and summer, the doctor collected flowers and also prepared infusions. In winter, he treated patients for free and monitored their condition.

The product has not undergone the traditional clinical trial of our time. Its selection and effectiveness were based on the doctor's intuition and his connection with patients.

Contemporaries describe the doctor’s methods for selecting flowers as follows: he raised his hand to the plant and examined his sensations. Feeling negative, he moved on to the next flower and did this until he discovered a plant that evoked positive emotions.

The basis for the infusions was dew, which the doctor collected from flowers in the morning. He believed that the morning sun and clean water had healing properties.

Rescure Remedy creams

Dr. Bach created only drops based on his selection of colors. The creams were created after his death, in the 60s of the last century. The creator of the creams was Nora Weeks, Dr. Bach's assistant.

She added wild apple to the flowers to create a cream that was sold under the Rescue brand. This cream was intended for those who did not feel clean. It contains only natural ingredients and relieves stress.

Application for animals

It has been proven that Bach drops are effective not only when taken by people, but also by pets. If necessary, the animal needs to drip 1-2 drops of the drug onto the tongue 4 times a day. The course of treatment for animals is 1-2 months.

Indications for use for cats and dogs:

• when an animal is forced to stay for a long period with strangers;
• before visiting a veterinarian, moving, or before an exhibition or competition;
• after suffering mental or psychological trauma.

Where is the best place to order active supplements?

Bach products are almost impossible to find in regular pharmacies. It is recommended to purchase them from trusted suppliers to be sure of the quality of the products. Otherwise, you risk not only not getting the desired effect, but also worsening your condition.

The full range of sedatives is presented on the iHerb website.

The supplier works directly with manufacturers of dietary supplements, therefore guaranteeing the quality of the products. In addition, there is a flexible system of discounts and bonuses for customers, which allows them to save money when ordering.

About the manufacturing company Bach

The legendary founder of the company is the English doctor Edward Bach, who is considered an outstanding scientist. He studied homeopathy and bacteriology and developed his own unique formula based on flower essence. While exploring the influence of an unstable nervous system on other internal functions, he realized that they were inextricably linked.

In a painful and nervous state, the immune system is weakened, which subsequently leads to multiple diseases of the internal organs. Dr. Bach realized that it is necessary to restore the body by eliminating stress and negative emotions. He developed his own system to stabilize the nervous system.

The so-called “Bach flowers” ​​is a patented formula that contains an extract of 38 medicinal flowers. Depending on the goals that need to be achieved, they are combined. The company's products help get rid of negative thoughts, resist stress, improve sleep and avoid constant nervous worries.
