Found an interesting article while perusing the Well Spouse Association website. As I haven't tried this remedy, I cannot personally recommend it, but thought it could be useful to others to check into.
Rescue Remedy is a well-known composite of 5 single essences that are part of the self-help stress relief system of the Bach Flower Remedies. As one user on the website said about it: "Since discovering the remedies about 20 years ago, they have been an integral part of my caregiving life, and often ~ quite literally ~ saving it. They help me maintain emotional balance, even when I feel the world is caving in."
Created by Scottish physician/immunologist/bacteriologist Dr. Edward Bach in the 1930s, the Bach Flower Remedies (also called Essences) consist of 38 single essences, plus the aforementioned composite Rescue Remedy, that address and correct "negative" emotions such as fear, loneliness, despondency and anxiety. They are non-addictive, effective and gentle. They can be given to children, the elderly and even animals. You can start and stop using them at any time without fear of withdrawal symptoms. As that user stated: "Although I prefer a more natural approach to healing, those who choose to use anti-depressants can augment with the Bach's without fear of any drug interaction."
She continued: "Depending on what's going on in my life, I combine up to 6 or 7 at a time to create a personalized mixture; other times, I just need one or two doses of a single essence, depending on the severity and longevity of the given situation. I call the essences my 'miracles in a bottle'. They have never let me down.
Throughout my years as a caregiver, the remedies have given me hope when I was without hope; consolation when I was in despair; support when I was overwhelmed; and comfort when I was traumatized."
