Explore the contents of any handbag, satchel or backpack and you’re likely to find a strange potpourri of personal belongings and other curiosities.
We toss our everyday essentials – phones, keys, wallets and purses – into sometimes seemingly ancient jumbles of makeup and medications, dog-eared magazines, headphones, disposable face masks and (yuck) used tissues. Almost always there’s a supply of something minty-fresh to disguise the unavoidable aftermath of a spicy curry or to sweeten the enjoyment of chance encounters and secret liaisons…
Like Mary Poppins, I have a large ‘hobo’ bag. I haven’t pulled out a hat stand, not yet. But I’ve worked that bag pretty damn hard for many years. I don’t know what’s in it. Not exactly.
What I can tell you is that since the unexpected passing of my mother almost 11 years ago, I haven’t left home without a bottle of Bach Rescue Remedy in my handbag. Not once.
What is Rescue Remedy?
Many people have heard of Rescue Remedy and used it. But not many people know that Rescue Remedy belongs to a complete healing system of 38 flower remedies which help to balance our emotions. The original Bach Flower Remedies were created right here in the UK by Dr Edward Bach in the 1930s.
I’ve been using Rescue Remedy since my twenties and that feels like quite a long time ago. Whether I’m dealing with minor irritations or true emergencies, it keeps me steady and always brings me comfort.
My family and friends, work colleagues, my pets and animal charges, even total strangers have found relief after taking Rescue Remedy directly on the tongue or diluted in a glass of water.
In cases where the patient is difficult to dose, perhaps in deep shock or unresponsive, it can also be applied to pulse points (or paw pads) with impressive results.
Rescue Remedy helps us find balance and calm providing comfort and reassurance in states of panic, shock, terror, confusion and agitation or when we feel that we are losing control.
On numerous occasions, I’ve observed how Rescue Remedy can quickly change a demanding or stressful situation into something much more manageable.
I no longer carry Rescue Remedy just for myself but for anyone who needs help.
The original combination remedy
Doctor Bach believed that we are all unique and therefore, require personalised treatment. His 38 flower essences provide numerous individual or combination remedy mixtures for specific personality types or passing moods.
Bach also recognised that everyday life comes with different types of stress. Certain situations are more demanding than others. And sometimes, we find ourselves in the midst of a genuine emergency.
In these circumstances, it would not be possible or practical to mix remedies from individual essences. Something simple was required for quick and effective results in acute situations.
Often referred to as the 39th remedy, Dr Bach created Rescue Remedy, a blend of five individual essences from the complete system of 38 to support us through such occasions.
