Rescue Remedy, universal first aid remedy



The 39th remedy among Bach flowers is the Rescue Remedy, developed by Edward Bach himself, as a universal first aid, to face all emergency situations. Imagine the state of shock after a car or scooter accident, or the fear of losing control in a moment of strong anger or resentment, or even the terror of taking the elevator or plane or facing an exam, an interview of work. The possibility of fainting after bad news: abandonment, separation, mourning, etc.

These are situations that require immediate action, where it is not possible to calmly choose personal remedies. Rescue Remedy can be used with an instant calming effect in any stress situation, or when you need help if overwhelmed by a variety of emotions or anxiety.

Rescue Remedy and the 5 Bach flowers

The Rescue Remedy includes more Bach flowers, which is a mixture of 5 flower remedies, which Bach chose according to the plant signature, as he realized that in nature flowers have an attitude similar to that of a human being . Now let's see how these flowers behave in the environment in which they live, to understand the reason for the choice that the father of flower therapy made to create the universal first aid remedy.

  • Rock Rose : its characteristic thorns make it so that, if a person comes into contact with the plant, he remains as if paralyzed by pain, especially if he injures his legs, which prevents him from walking. In the same way, the flower is used for paralyzing panic attacks, for internal and external tremor, sweating, tachycardia and blocking of the ability to react in an emergency situation. The flower helps those who let themselves be carried away by their emotions, when fear turns into extreme panic and gets stuck, with shortness of breath and a heart in the throat, unable to react. In the Rescue Remedy it is used for the maximum anguish, to face a strong and acute state of terror or the fear unleashed by a traumatic event (accident or sudden illness).
  • Impatiens : it is a plant that avidly absorbs the water of the soil until it exudes from the leaves the excess. As an index of its constant activity, throughout the summer it brings buds, flowers and seeds at the same time, without following the times of the other plants. Its action in Rescue Remedy serves to moderate impatience, anticipation anxiety, excessive impetus, agitation, frustration or irritability towards a situation, which requires a waiting time.
  • Clematis : this climbing plant cannot root itself on the ground because it has a very small root. Its guides hang and give it a floating appearance. In the same way, it is useful for people who cannot keep their feet on the ground, whose mind slips away from the present to fantasize about the future or alternative versions of the present. In Rescue Remedy it helps above all to avert fainting and to alleviate that state of confusion and dizziness that can appear in emergency situations, when one would like to escape from reality.
  • Cherry Plum : apparently calm, the plant is inwardly processing the flowers that will be born prematurely and in a compulsive way. The flower is for those who are afraid of going crazy, of acting irrationally, of performing extreme and unconscious gestures, even self-defeating, giving vent to dangerous impulses. He can't stop the shrill noise of a thousand terrible thoughts that crowd into his head in a real mental overwork. He has the impulse to perform violent acts of which he feels horror . In Rescue Remedy it helps to find calm, self-control and the ability to manage anger and all the emotional states that can lead to violence .
  • Star of Bethlehem : like the acid that contains its flower, if touched, it makes you cry, so the remedy helps to release a repressed emotion or any kind of trauma. It helps those who feel pain for a sentence that comes suddenly (bad news, loss of job, illness, mourning, accident); for the inconsolable loss of loved ones.

These traumas can occur even after some time in the form of apathy, indifference, depression, mental and spiritual numbness, paralysis of the soul, mental and energy block in growing and gaining experience.

In Rescue Remedy it serves to give inner strength despite a shock; the remedy gives peace, tranquility, as it provides for the resolution of psychological blocks resulting from trauma.

The Rescue Remedy and its assumption

The Rescue Remedy can be used by everyone at any time, without any contraindication. The remedy is also valid for plants (when they are repotted, moved or transplanted, or even when the plant has suffered a thermal stress or lack of water); for animals (when they have suffered a trauma, they are scared, terrified or before surgery).

This Bach flower for children who are afraid is very indicated; the same goes for children who have had a nightmare or have undergone anything that has altered their emotional state, such as a fall, for example.

How do you proceed? Put 4 drops of the Bach Rescue Remedy flower in a finger of water and sip it slowly. If the water or glass is not available, 4 drops of the pure remedy can be taken.

There is also a cream version that is normally used for all those skin problems that require immediate intervention: insect bites, bruises, small wounds, peeling, small burns, scars. A light layer of cream is applied to the affected part several times a day as needed.
