Are you feeling on edge, stressed, worried, uneasy, or panicky? Sound familiar? There are many reasons why you might feel like this. Maybe you have exams or a driving test coming up soon. You might be waiting on medical tests or surgery. Fear of flying is another cause of fear and overwhelm. Worry about giving a speech, a presentation or doing an interview can be stressful too. In an emergency, after a traumatic experience, or bereavement you can feel distraught and out of control. This kind of stress is something that you can put your finger on and will usually ease over time.
Rescue Remedy, a flower essence formulated by Dr Edward Bach could be the perfect remedy to help you feel calmer and more focused. It contains five essences, Rock Rose to calm the strong feeling of terror or panic, perfect before exams, flying, or medical appointments. Impatiens for when you are losing your patience and feeling irritable. Maybe the driver in front of you is going too slow!
